Oscar De La Hoya Not Interested In Canelo Alvarez Fight, Eyes Rematches With Trinidad & Mayweather

Oscar De La Hoya doesn’t see a need to fight Canelo Alvarez anymore.

De La Hoya used to promote Alvarez but they had a falling out and as De La Hoya announced he was going to fight again, many wanted to see him face the Mexican. However, he says he’s not interested in it.

“I changed my mind,”  De La Hoya told reporters before a media workout promoting his Sept. 11 fight against former UFC champion Vitor Belfort.

“Not because of anything or because he’ll knock me out. It’s just that I thought it over and I would actually rather I do two of these, and Vitor doesn’t knock me out, maybe do another one by December and again on Cinco De Mayo,” De La Hoya continued. “I don’t have any hesitation to call out Floyd [Mayweather] or [Felix] Trinidad. We have unfinished business. That rematch never happened. That would be pretty cool. It just depends on how I look and how I feel. I feel amazing right now. You’ll see my speed and power, my footwork, it’s all there. We’ll see how I do against a heavyweight. I have my hands full. But hey, let’s go.”

Although Oscar De La Hoya wants a rematch with Trinidad, his foe didn’t feel the same. Instead, he says he doesn’t think it makes much sense.

“I wish De La Hoya the best. I’ve never had anything against him,” said Trinidad. “We fought because we had to have a winner and that is Tito Trinidad. I wish the best for him. Oscar knows that this is not easy, but may he have the success of the world on his return.”

Of course, they fought in 1999 where Trinidad beat De La Hoya by a razor-thin majority decision.
