De La Hoya: Mayweather Insecure, Catchweight Won't Help - Boxing News

By Rick Reeno

Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya believes Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26KOs) is feeling a sense of insecurity with the upcoming fight against WBC/WBA junior middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-0-1, 30KOs).

The fight takes place at a catch-weight of 152-pounds. Mayweather had previously fought at the full junior middleweight limit of 154 on two occasions, against De La Hoya in 2007 and last year against Miguel Cotto. Both fights were tough outings for the pound-for-pound king, with Mayweather winning both by way of twelve round decision.

De La Hoya says the fact that a catch-weight is in place for this match, signals that Mayweather is taking Canelo far more seriously than other past opponents.

"Obviously the fact that he's asking for a catch-weight, already there are insecurities. Right from the start [there are insecurities]. I read somewhere, where Canelo mentioned, or someone mentioned that [Canelo] won round one - well he won round one. It's funny because the weight of 152 - it's not going to help Mayweather. On the contrary, its going to benefit Canelo," De La Hoya told BoxingScene.com.

De La Hoya explained how Canelo will benefit from the catch-weight clause.

"For this fight, Canelo is going to have a nutritionist, which he's never hard before. He's going to have his team in his corner, but the key is getting the nutritionist - that's going to make him stronger, make him faster. The key is not being strong, the key against Mayweather is being fast and to be in great shape - and that's what Canelo is going to be on September 14th," De La Hoya said.

When De La Hoya fought Mayweather, he came very close to handing Floyd his first pro loss. One judge had De La Hoya winning 115-113, while the other two sided with Mayweather with scores of 115-113 and 116-112. De La Hoya says his key weapon was the jab - something that most fighters forget to use these days.

"I've always preached for years that in order to beat that kind of style - you need a jab. A jab is a lost art form. Fighters forgot about the jab. [Fighters] are just looking to knock everybody's head off," De La Hoya said.

Smh @ Oscar.. Oh the irony of Oscar calling somebody else insecure.. I wonder if De la Hoya is going to cry.. after another one of his "protégés" takes a L from Money May...

I see a lot of ppl in the industry are doubting Broner's talent and capabilities...I believe he will surprise many.

De La Hoya don't give a fuck, remember that he is a promoter and businessman, he knows damn well none of these fighters can actually pose a real thread to Floyd.

Nigga got to get an identity first and stop switching trainers every fight

Chad is content.with.his money and going home to.his girlfriend.He got more losses in him. He got that Jermaine Taylor aura, talent but no true character.

I remember virgil hunter saying

"speak for yaself Chad,this aint no plantation"..."you got to fight speak fa yaself Chad"

He has certain.character flaws like hes not fully payin attention.

rofl @ all the Chad is slow/retarded talk

Cs idk how he made it out of that round.. Lara is more gritty and more diverse than we gave him credit for he showed a demeanor and dimension that i didnt think he had

De la Hoya is just hyping the fight.

Canelo had problems with a washed up Mosley.

If you not Dominating Shane after Mayweather

Why would I think you gonna beat Mayweather?

Hittin 152 on the dot aint gonna be easy,he might have to hit 149 to touch 152

Comin from 170, that will be a factor. If speed is what he wants

This is mit how to get it.

This boy about to get Dawsond

 

[supaman4321]

De La Goya is doing his best to make people believe Canelo actually has a shot and I can respect his hustle but....
