The whole world witnessed how "The Golden Boy" Oscar De La Hoya lose or defeated by the Filipino Boxer, people's champ Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao. At first everybody says and predict, the fight is a real mismatch. People's champ is a no match to the "The Golden Boy" and so Oscar De La Hoya got many people in favored to him. But everybody witnessed Oscar De La Hoya's downfall. But good thing about "The Golden Boy" is his showing of his sportsmanship after the "Dream Match Fight". He has nothing bad words against Pacman but all praises to his opponent. Now the question of everybody, what comes after? Will Oscar De La Hoya plan to retired from boxing? Sports analysts says he should, but when the "Golden Boy" asked, he just simply answered "My heart still wants to fight,".
What do you think?

He must not resign yet. There must be another fight between them. It will be another good fight. The fights can be titled as "The Dream Match Rematch". He must be given a second chance to gain again his pride. He was really looks pity in that fight with Peoples Champ Manny Pacquiao. He must request for their rematch.

Ideally, i think he should retire because he just don't have it anymore. I saw him drop his hands on some occassions on the fight and it may mean that he easily gets tired which causes him not to box and defend himself more. But since he's always after the money he can generate, then let him ruin his greatness by fighting one more time. I think he's too stubborn so let him learn it the hard way.

I thought he'd retired a long time ago. If he's going to continue to box, maybe he should rethink his strategy, like baseball pitchers when they're getting older and can no longer throw the fast ball. They have to learn how to throw other kinds of pitches.

I don't want Dela Hoya to retire. There are still many good boxers out ther for megafights with Dela Hoya. Rocky Balboa, Hulk Hogan, and Mr. T.
