‘Golden girl boy’ Oscar De La Hoya, (it’s just too easy now) recently disclosed plans to fight a whopping three times next year. Ironically, the news comes less than a week after his lawyers brought out their gloves, contesting that new photos of him showcasing his new line of boxing gear are not legit. Now, he is trying to distract himself from this latest fiasco by launching his promotions team into overdrive in order to successfully schedule three fights in the coming year.

I’m not retired and I believe that my body can still handle the big fights. I want to fight three times next year, with two big fights in May and September. It isn’t out of the question that I’ll meet Ricky Hatton next year.

We’re always content with witnessing a De La Hoya canvas splat, but does Ricky Hatton know he may fight a guy in stockings?
