This would be some comeback.
Oscar De La Hoya hasn't fought since taking a beating from Manny Pacquiao in December of 2008 but amazingly, he has told ESPN that he would consider coming out of retirement to fight Floyd Mayweather in a rematch of their 2007 bout. De La Hoya only lost to Mayweather by a split decision, and troubled the undefeated boxer in a way that not many other fighters have been able to replicate. The former Olympic gold medalist said he was '50/50' about returning and also mentioned that he would like to either fight Mayweather or Gennady Golovkin. "I want to fight one of them because they are the best and I always fought the best," De La Hoya said. "That's what boxing is all about - fighting the best." De La Hoya has been in rehab twice for alcohol addiction since retiring but says that he is now in the best shape of his life."I've gotten everything taken care of -- my rotator cuffs, my left hand, everything. I'm pain free," De La Hoya said. "I just feel good and when I walk the streets, everyone tells me, 'You have to fight Floyd again, you have to fight GGG. You can do it, you can do it. I just feel great physically. I've been taking care of myself. I've been doing the Bernard Hopkins lifestyle. You can turn the clock back to a certain time."Would you like to see De La Hoya fight Mayweather again or has he been out of the game for too long?
