According to rumors going around in the Mexican press, a possible fight between Oscar De La Hoya (39-6, 30KOs) and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (38-0-1, 29KOs) is in the works. The fight with Chavez Jr. is probably the only "major" fight that De La Hoya, at this point in his career, can put together and it would actually sell. Mexican press reports indicate that Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, Mexico - would be the target venue. The stadium holds over 100,000 fans. De La Hoya has always dreamed of fighting there. Of course none of this has been confirmed by either side, but it's the logical fight if De La Hoya plans to continue his career.
The storyline would be huge to Mexican boxing fans. Since the day Chavez Jr. became a pro, Top Rank began dreaming up a possible future clash with De La Hoya. Coming off the one-sided wipeout against Manny Pacquiao, Oscar has been 3-3 in his last six fights. The storyline would obviously have Chavez Jr. seeking revenge for his father, who was beaten up twice by De La Hoya.
And that fight will be broadcast free from a local East LA High School gymnasium with a capacity of 200 and by the time the bell rings to start the first round, there will still by 150 empty seats in the gym.
Delahoya lost a HUGE portion of what little Mexican fan base he had by quitting on his stool in the fight. That is just something you NEVER see a Mexican fighter do - quit.
de la hoya is not even mexican, he was born in LA of mexican parents.
he's an american.
he lost his heart years ago.
