Oscar De La Hoya
 Mosley can turn it up and he can turn it down. He knows how to do that. It's a big factor. And people are going to be surprised how strong a fighter Mosley is. |
| Once, I was at a party, ... This was at a time when it seemed like I had everything. I was young. I was undefeated. I had money. I'd just moved into my own home. People at the party were laughing and having fun. And I missed my mother. I felt so lonely. I remember asking myself, 'Why isn't my mother here? Why are all these people around me? I don't want these people around me.' I looked out the window and started crying. |
| One of the things that bothers me most, ... is that very few people really understand what it means to be a fighter. I hate it when I hear someone say, 'That fighter doesn't have guts.' I hate that; it really ticks me off. I don't care if you're a world champion six times over or a four-round fighter who just got knocked out in thirty seconds of your first professional fight. To step inside that ring, you have to have guts. |
| Oscar De La Hoya, |
| Personally, I have nothing against Bob Arum. I can say, 'Hey, let's shake hands, patch things up and that's it.' It's him that has the problem. I mean, we have our company, Golden Boy Promotions, which is coming up slowly but surely. We're probably already there and it's a big threat to him. It's a huge threat. But I think as days go by, it's going to get worse. And it's bad, but obviously we're going to hold our ground. We're not going to be intimidated by nobody, especially not Bob Arum. |
| Robbie Peden is a dangerous fighter, |
| The community work is central to who I am, ... I want to get across the idea in the community that all children have some golden boy or golden girl in them. |
| The only reason I would fight again, ... is to erase the memory of losing my last fight. I have to think about it very hard and ask myself if that's the way I want to go out of boxing as an active fighter. My last two fights were at 160 pounds, and I'm not happy with either of them. Fighters are like cars. At some point, the gas tank is empty. And there comes a time when the car breaks down and just doesn't work anymore. I can't be a boxer for my entire life. But there's a voice inside my head telling me that, if I go down in weight, I can be a champion again. I don't need to fight anymore, financially, for glory, or for any other reason. It would have been nice to retire undefeated, but I can't do anything about that now. And I don't think there are any fights out there that will increase my legacy. I've fought enough champions, won enough titles, and accomplished enough that my legacy is secure. And I hate getting hit. Getting hit hurts; it damages you. I have no fear of boxing. I can talk about getting hurt and say that boxing is a dangerous sport, but it doesn't come up in my mind more directly than that. When a fighter trains his body and mind to fight, there's no room for fear. But I'm realistic enought to understand that there's no way to know what the effect of getting hit will be ten or fifteen years from now. I've been asking myself for years, 'How much longer will I box?' And the answer is, I don't know. |
| There has to be a re-evaluation of what procedures are used to get a license, especially in Las Vegas, |
| There's one moment with my mother that sticks out in my mind, ... She was battling cancer. She'd already had chemotherapy and her hair was falling out. I was walking home from high school. My mother was sitting on the front porch with the radio on. She was singing a song called 'Noah, Noah' by a Latin singer named Juan Gabriel. I started singing and dancing with her, and I could see that she was happy despite the pain. That was a very special moment for me. That's the best memory I have of my mother. |
| These tests have to be more difficult for fighters to pass. A lot of fighters will get rejected, but it will be a good thing. |
| These two guys are veteran fighters, ... The good thing is, both of these guys have chins, so it is going to be really good; it's going to be a barnburner. |
| This guy is even worse. Because when I get back to Puerto Rico and train, believe me, I'm going to knock you out. You can laugh. May 6, you're not going to laugh. You'll see. |
| This guy is getting under my skin. He really is. |
| This is fun; I enjoy it. The only downfall is that it's really difficult to work with other promoters. |
