Oscar de la Hoya says Marquez will beat Mayweather



Translation below:

Interviewer: "We are used to seeing you in big fights. Tell us how you made this big fight happen."

Oscar de la Hoya: "We did it by talking with Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Juan Manuel Marquez, telling them that this could be a huge fight. As a boxer I believe, I am very sure and know that Juan Manuel Marquez is going to beat Floyd Mayweather Jr.. Juan Manuel Marquez is going to beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. because Floyd Mayweather Jr. hasn't fought in over a year. Juan Manuel Marquez is a fighter who is not scared to throw punches. He is an incredibly intelligent fighter. Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a fighter who does not like to throw a lot of punches."

Interviewer: "You and I know Juan Manuel Marquez well and we know that right now he is on fire. Given your experience fighting Floyd Mayweather Jr. what advice would you give to Juan Manuel Marquez?"

Oscar de la Hoya: "I would tell him to be calm and not let Floyd's trash talk get to him. Marquez needs to use his jab. His jab is the key. If he does this he will dominate him. I did that in the first 6-7 and so can Marquez."

Interviewer: "Is the winner of this fight the best pound for pound fighter in your eyes?"

Oscar de la Hoya: "Yes, yes because in my eyes and in the eyes of many experts Marquez beat Pacquiao both times. Mayweather used to be number 1 and now that he’s back we will see if he still is."
