This weekend sees the Goldenboy Oscar De La Hoya (38-5) step into the ring once more as he tunes up for another bout with p4p Champion Floyd Mayweather Jr.

The big question is whether he'll take that bout too lightly. Steve Forbes (33-5) is no mug and could be dangerous for De La Hoya. Oscar as a glitzy 38-5 record and has only ever been beaten by top drawer fighters, Bernard Hopkins, Felix Trinidad, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and 'Sugar' Shane Mosley twice. So to beat the Goldenboy then you have to have some quality.

Forbes' history isn't bad but he has lost five times and the calibre of his opponents is nothing when you compare it to that of his rival. He is in the ring to help De La Hoya shake off any ring rust and tune him up for the big one later in the year.

Whilst the Mayweather/De La Hoya fight last year smashed all PPV records and was hyped up to an insane level, the fight itself was disappointing with the Goldenboy winning the early rounds behind his jab, before tiring in the late stages and allowing Mayweather to dictate the pace of the fight before winning a split decision.

A rematch will once again generate a lot of dollars and if De La Hoya wins then he's finally able to say that he's won a Superfight, but if Mayweather wins then it proves nothing. Until he stops ducking Miguel Cotto then fight fans will always question just how good he is. I have a sinking feeling though that any Mayweather/Cotto fight is a long way off, if indeed it ever happens at all.
