Mike Tyson was at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas to watch Manny Pacquiao beat Oscar De La Hoya, and he said afterward that it's time for De La Hoya to hang up the gloves:
"I knew he was too fast and hard to hit, and he couldn't hit him," Tyson said after the fight. "Oscar shouldn't be fighting anymore."
De La Hoya is 35 and definitely a better boxer now than Tyson was when he last fought, at age 38, in 2005. But Tyson might be right. De La Hoya is past his prime, and it would be tragic to see such a smart, articulate man keep fighting longer than it's safe for him to do so.
