Oscar/Floyd – The Unsilent Edition

There’s no question about it, I haven’t been this excited to watch a guy get his ass kicked in almost three years. It’s not that I don’t like the Golden Boy, I just happen to enjoy watching people punch him. I’m confident that Pretty Boy is the perfect man for the job.

Just about everything about this fight intrigues me, including Oscar de la Hoya. I’ve never been his biggest fan but I’ve found so much to like about the smiley bastard. I always knew he was a nice enough guy but HBO’s 24/7 has shown so much of his personality that it’s impossible to dislike him. Or perhaps he’s just basking in the second-hand glow of my love for Freddie Roach.

But fuck all of that nonsense! I love me some Pretty Boy like Pretty Boy loves him some money (alright, not that much). What makes Mayweather/De La Hoya the most intriguing match-up in the world of boxing (except Mourinho/Abramovich) is the former rather than the latter. His personality is reflective of his style like so many of the great champions of the past. There’s really no reason that Pretty Boy shouldn’t be just as popular as his pound-for-pound predecessor, Roy Jones Jr.

Floyd has dominated the ranks to such an extent as to be considered the best in the business. If the country hasn’t already taken notice then Saturday night will be their best opportunity. Oscar De La Hoya may be on the downside of his career (in the ring) but he remains the most recognizable fighter in the nation’s consciousness. When Mayweather breaks down the face of boxing he’ll deserve to be one of the most popular athletes in America. And if some people don’t care… fuck ‘em.

Now let’s just pray he doesn’t retire.
