Oscar just wrote a Playboy piece saying he was happy that Mayweather was out of boxing and less than a week later he is open to having Canelo fight him.
Just another day in boxing.
Here is what Oscar had to say about a possible rematch.
“Well, we would be open to it – absolutely. I’m sure Canelo would love to he opportunity. Like I said right now, Canelo is the man right now,” De La Hoya said.
“That’s why I said we’re fighting him in May and then fighting him in September – whether it’s in Las Vegas or anywhere around the world, he is fighting in May and September. And you know, if Mayweather wants to fight him – we can discuss that in the future.”
In the middleweight division, Canelo is not the man, GGG is the man, but it seems they want to sidestep him.
