The Golden Boy (Oscar de La Hoya) Vs. The Pretty Boy (Floyd Mayweather Jr.): This is What Boxing is All About

On May 5 th 2007 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada we will get to witness the most talked about and anticipated fight in our era.This fight will be for De La Hoyas title Jr. Middleweight. De La Hoya will be fighting at his natural weight of 145 pounds and Mayweather will be moving up in weight class to match for this fight.Two of the best and most well known boxers in of our time.

Mayweather is known to be the best pound for pound boxer in the world and De La Hoya the most famous.Both with the determination winning Olympic medals and title belts,May 5th seems to long to wait.

If you plan on trying to get to Las Vegas to see this event live unless you already have tickets you are out of luck!When tickets went on sale Saturday January 27,2007 ,they sold out in a recored breaking 3 hours also shattering ticket sales a impressive 19 million dollars.Tickets ranged everywhere from $100 to $7,000.Pay per view is also anticipated to see it's largest grossing fight ever and I will be one of those!

This is how the two boxers stack up Mayweather age 29,72" reach,height 5'8" will be weighing it around 140 for this fight,orthodox style boxing and 24 KO's.De La Hoya age 34,73" reach,height 5'10 1/2",he will be weighing in around 145,he is also an orthodox fighter with 30 KO's .Both fighters manage themselves and both were trained by Mayweather Sr.

They say every champion has one last defining pivotal moment,will this be De La Hoyas?De La Hoya has the largest fan base following of any boxer ,ever.De La Hoya rarely accepts offers from fighters that he does not think he can win,so what do you think?I think he's right.I think this will be his way of going out on top with a bang!In all honesty I have been a De La Hoya fan for a long time but have watched both boxers and both of them are outstandingly impressive.

In public these two are the picture of respect and gentlemen like ways, as well as respect for the boxing association,the fans,the press and the general public they have respect for each other.Just what will we see when they step in the ring on May 5th?My guess is explosive,relentless,savage,power boxing from both fighters. I will be waiting in anticipation and may the best of the best prevail.
