Oscar De La Hoya is set to square off against Pretty Boy Floyd Mayweather on May 5th at the MGM Grand Casino in Vegas. As far as the sport of boxing is concerned this is HUGE! De La Hoya last fought in May when he beat up on Ricardo Mayorga stopping the cigar smoking madman in the 6th round. FLoyd last fought in Novemeber beating Carlos Baldomir in a unanimous decision bout. As a boxing fan this is pretty much a dream bout come true. Pretty Boy is arguably the greatest boxer pound for pound in the world right now and if he can stop The Golden Boy it will mark the end of a flawless career for Mayweather (who plans to retire if he wins). De La Hoya on the other hand can stun the world and cement his legacy as one of the worlds greatest boxers ever if he can pull off a win. Look for this fight to set all sorts of pay per view, gate, and other monetary records. Ring side seats are already as high as $2,000 a seat. Im not officially predicting a winner yet because I have no idea what kind of shape the Golden Boy is going to be in. Look for a prediction a day or two before the fight!
