DE LA HOYA REVEALS HIT LIST
Sorry Miguel Cotto. You too Floyd Mayweather Jr. Hey Zab Judah, don't even think about it. Those fighters will not be making any money fighting Oscar De la Hoya in 2006. The Golden Boy was telling a few in the press today in Miami that he will fight in 2006, May and September to be exact, and the three opponents he's targeting are Winky Wright, Felix Trinidad, and Fernando Vargas.
"I'm fighting in '06 at 147 or 154," De la Hoya said. "I want to fight Trinidad, Winky, or Vargas. Those are the three fights I want for next year."
Richard Schaeffer of Golden Boy Promotions said Oscar won't fight any Top Rank fighters (for obvious reasons), and fights with Shane Mosley or Judah won't be appealing to fans.
"The perfect first fight back would be against Vargas," Schaeffer said. "Their first fight was a great fight, and the rematch would sell out the Staples Center. First Vargas needs to get past Castillejo, and then we shall see."
