De La Hoya is past it IMO, Have watched his last few fights and he does not look the same fighter...
Also think if he does fight Mayweather, And I am assuming it will be at Welterweight and not at Light-Middleweight, But even going up 2 divisions I am sure Mayweather will have enough too much for De La Hoya...
Dont get me wrong though, In his prime he was the best but time has caught up with him and there is some great fighters around this weight, Possible the best class of fighters in the world...

I told you, La Hoya is not in the past

It was a fight nearly two years in the making, but less than two minutes into the much-anticipated battle between the trash-talking slugger Ricardo Mayorga and the pedigreed boxer-promoter Oscar De La Hoya, boxing's Golden Boy made a definitive statement.
Working a series of short, inside punches, De La Hoya thrilled the large crowd at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas by knocking Mayorga to the canvas with a stiff left hook. Mayorga recovered, but the tone of the fight - a technical mismatch between the potent boxer and the wild-throwing brawler - was set.
