Oscar De La Hoya Believes This Light Heavyweight Boxer Will Break Floyd Mayweather’s Record

Oscar De La Hoya has recently expressed his willingness to patch things up between himself and Floyd Mayweather. According to his recorded statements, the CEO of Golden Boy Promotions wants to come together with ‘Money’ and be a powerhouse. From what he recently disclosed with the media, it seems De La Hoya is all ready to forget all the differences he has ever had with ‘Money’.

Anyway, on May 14, Gilberto ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez will walk towards his 44th professional fight in boxing. He will face Dominic Boesel. Ahead of this bout, ESNEWS caught up with De La Hoya and Ramirez for a brief interview.

During the interaction, De La Hoya commented on the goal of ‘Zurdo.’ What threat does the current light heavyweight contender possess towards Floyd Mayweather’s records and his long-built legacy?

Zurdo to go beyond Floyd Mayweather?

Gilberto ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez is currently 43-0 and hopefully will add another victory this coming Saturday. However, while he still waits to step inside the ring with Dominic Boesel, a correspondent from ESNEWS asked the former super middleweight titleholder’s promoter Oscar De La Hoya what it would mean if ‘Zurdo’ eventually became 51-0.

Needless to say, what the correspondent had implied. It was none other than Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather, who holds a professional record that comprises 50 wins and zero losses. Hearing the question, and understanding the implication it had flung, De La Hoya replied the following.

The search goes on

Canelo Alvarez has already surpassed Mayweather‘s wins in boxing. However, it is also true that Alvarez has suffered losses, something that is unknown to Mayweather in professional boxing. In addition, Alvarez’s first loss came from the hands of ‘Money’ himself. De La Hoya promoted Alvarez during the Mayweather vs. Alvarez event with great hopes.

This time, although it is not a direct contest with Mayweather, De La Hoya can certainly keep hopes for ‘Zurdo’ to shatter records, including that held by Floyd Mayweather. As it seems, for De La Hoya and his team, the search still goes on.
