“I told Richard Schaefer to get me the biggest fight possible. “Whoever it is, that is who we want. There is no particular fighter. Sergio Mora is a possibility. The winner of the Cotto-Margarito fight would be a great way to end my career. There are a lot of options. I am willing to fight whomever." These were De La Hoya's exact words when he was interviewed by fightnews.com. Other possible opponents in his farewell bout are Manny Pacquiao and Felix Trinidad.
He also said that he was planning to have three matches before retiring but Mayweather's retirement ruined his plan.
It was not said in the interview how Mayweather's retirement ruined De La Hoya's plan of having three matches before retiring. I think he wanted Mayweather to be his opponent in his farewell bout. I hope Pacquiao would be his opponent. Two living legends fighting would be very entertaining.
It would be foolish for dela Hoya to fight Manny. Ano pa ba ang kailangan niyang patunayan? Well, money talks. :D
