Mayorga Aiming for De La Hoya

Monday July 14, 2003
After taking care of Vernon Forrest twice, Ricardo Mayorga now says he wants Oscar De La Hoya -- asking "Don't you think he is scared?". With De La Hoya fighting Shane Mosley on Sept. 13, Don King wants to build on Mayorga's current buzz with fights against IBF champ Cory Spinks and then WBO champ Antonio Margarito. Assuming Mayorga unifies the belts at 147 - no sure thing - then the plan would be to move up to 154 to challenge the Golden Boy. Such a match-up would make for a tremendously entertaining PPV event.
