Originally posted by Sergio MtzIn an interview conducted by Dan Rafael of ESPN.com, Oscar De La Hoya gave him a few good reasons why retirement might be a good idea. Rafael got Oscar to list his injuries. Suprisingly, Oscar held nothing back and gave ESPN a run down of his ailments.
Oscar tells ESPN: "I felt more pains in the Mayorga training camp than any other training camp ever."
The details of his problems (As listed by ESPN):
• "My left rotator cuff is torn. I've lived with it with for the last 4-5 years. When I sleep at night, to this day, I wake up and it's uncomfortable. It hurts. It's in pain."
• "My hand. I am tired of getting shots on my [left] hand to numb it so I won't feel the pain. I'm tired of it."
• "My elbows. I have arthritis in both elbows. I get shots. It sucks. It really does."
• "My back flares up."
• "This knuckle [on the middle finger of my right hand] still hasn't gone down since the Mayorga fight. I'm thinking it's broken. I touch it and it hurts. It's been like this for two months, since the middle of training camp."
Sounds like Oscar is going to hang it up... What do you guys think?
After putting all of these out in the media I seriously hope that DLH decides just to hang it up rather than fight PBF. If he's not fighting 100%, then forget it.
That's already a justification why he would lose.
For PBF, aside for the big money, what will he gain if he'll be accused of fighting an old dilapitated DLH?

It's not like it has been any secret with Oscar's injuries; trainers that have worked with Oscar have discussed what Oscar goes through in training camp, usually fighting through injuries for the sake of the fight.
The guy is in his 30's and his body is falling a part...just look at Kostya Tszyu, another guy who punishes himself in training camp, but in the end, his body failed; though some of it had to do with trying to continue to make weight.

I think in the long run the risk is much bigger than the reward. He could of course lose and if he wins? Does it mean that much? He said clearly the fight will be at 154 if they fight, Floyd hasnt even fought a true welter yet let alone a true light middleweight. If they were to fight Id love to see it at 147 and thats it.

How old is this article ? If this is true then this sucks big time. It doesnt do anything for his legacy ending on the Mayorga fight. Take this fight OSCAR !!! dammit...what a joke.
I dunno ? I dont believe this ****. Sounds like a bunch of excuses to me. Whatever...

This is a whole load of crap. Dont fall for it. Oscar may be hurt but I doubt it is to this extent. If I was Floyd I'd get the trash talking going to motivate this guy to get in there and *** him up. Oscar is really smart...I give him that. This is bull****.
