Fair well to Oscar De La Hoya & Bernard Hopkins

By Edgar Gonzalez

Rumor has it that Oscar De La Hoya and Bernard Hopkins will be hosting a media press conference on April 14 in downtown Los Angeles to announce their retirement.

Many people kept asking whether the Golden Boy was going to continue fighting after getting demolished by the Filipino icon Manny Pacquiao and Oscar never gave an answer.

I think it will be best for Oscar De La Hoya to retire, with out any doubt Oscar De La Hoya is a mega superstar whose popularity transcends boxing, Oscar De La Hoya is considered to be one of the best fighters in the world at any weight. Hands down Oscar De La Hoya is the biggest non-heavyweight attraction and money maker at the gate. I think he should continue promoting great fights like Marquez-Diaz and the recent “Lightweight Lighting”. Those were some awesome fights.

For years boxing fans have watched the great middleweight champion and future hall of fame fighter Bernard Hopkins. Hopkins in the ring was like watching a master painter at work. I wouldn’t mind seeing the Philadelphia Executioner in the ring one last time but the question is with whom.

MyBoxingFans will be on hand covering this farewell event. Stay tuned!
