Chavez Jr. "Ready and Willing" To Fight De La Hoya
By Ronnie Nathanielsz
The handlers of undefeated junior middleweight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, son of the Mexican legend Julio Cesar Chavez Sr have spoken to Top Rank promoter Bob Arum regarding a possible fight against Oscar De La Hoya.
Chavez is currently ranked No. 4 in the 154 pound division by the World Boxing Council behind a record of 38-0-1, 29 knockouts. De La Hoya beat the father of Chavez twice and there has been bad blood between Chavez and “The Golden Boy” since then.
De La Hoya beat Chavez by a 4th round TKO at Cesars Palace in Las Vegas on June 7, 1996 in a WBC welterweight title fight and in a rematch De La Hoya won by an 8th round TKO on September 18, 1998.
According to several media reports in Mexico and Puerto Rico, a Del Hoya fight against Chavez Jr, “The son of the Legend” is a possibility with the fight likely to be held if it happens at all, in 2009. The venue mentioned is the Azteca Stadium in Mexico Coty which holds 100,000 fans.
Arum told insidesports.ph, Standard Today and Viva Sports “my Mexican guys who are with Chavez have talked to me about it (De La Hoya fight) . Obviously they are willing of course, but I haven’t heard a word from the De La Hoya camp, nor will I believe anything until they come to me.”
Following his one-sided his eight round beating at the hands of Filipino ring sensation Manny Pacquiao last December 6 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas , Arum said “I don’t know whether Oscar is going to fight again or not.”
Arum went on, “its completely and obviously up to them. As far as Chavez is concerned we’ll have him back in the ring in March and if Oscar wants to come out and fight him of course we will be interested.”

Oscar De La Hoya vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in Talks?
By Mark Vester
According to rumors going around in the Mexican press, a possible fight between Oscar De La Hoya (39-6, 30KOs) and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (38-0-1, 29KOs) is in the works. The fight with Chavez Jr. is probably the only "major" fight that De La Hoya, at this point in his career, can put together and it would actually sell. Mexican press reports indicate that Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, Mexico - would be the target venue. The stadium holds over 100,000 fans. De La Hoya has always dreamed of fighting there. Of course none of this has been confirmed by either side, but it's the logical fight if De La Hoya plans to continue his career.
The storyline would be huge to Mexican boxing fans. Since the day Chavez Jr. became a pro, Top Rank began dreaming up a possible future clash with De La Hoya. Coming off the one-sided wipeout against Manny Pacquiao, Oscar has been 3-3 in his last six fights. The storyline would obviously have Chavez Jr. seeking revenge for his father, who was beaten up twice by De La Hoya.
In 1996, De La Hoya busted up an old and undersized Chavez Sr. for nearly four rounds before the ringside doctor stopped the bloody assault. In 1998, De La Hoya beat up Chavez Sr. again, this time making the pround Mexican icon quit on his stool before the start of the ninth round. The two wins made a De La Hoya a villian to Mexican boxing fans.
This time it's Chavez Jr. who is the young lion and De La Hoya is the old man. There would be no issues with weight as Chavez Jr. stages most of his fights around the junior middleweight limit. Unlike his much smaller father, Chavez Jr. is actually taller than De La Hoya and matches the Golden Boy in reach. Chavez Jr. is a star, because of his name, to the Mexican fans. He even pulls in decent pay-per-view numbers with the Top Rank promoted "Latin Fury" events. The problem with Chavez Jr. is putting him in with a dangerous opponent that makes financial sense. Top Rank has invested a lot of money into Chavez Jr. and fed him a lot of stiffs. He can't continue to eat stiffs forever and De La Hoya is the perfect "make or break" fight for him.
