Oscar De La Hoya says he advised former fighter Canelo Alvarez not to face Floyd Mayweather in 2013 and admits the Mexican no longer likes him. The Golden Boy boss explained the current situation with Canelo when remembering the time the multi-weight champion suffered his first loss. Mayweather dominated Canelo on his way to a hotly debated majority decision.

De La Hoya: ‘I told Canelo not to fight Mayweather – he hates me!’

While Floyd Mayweather has solidified his place as one of the greatest boxers of all time, the last man to beat him has gone down a very different road. At the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, the pound-for-pound great, who was just 19 at the time, suffered a loss that left him both tearful, yet motivated to never feel that way again.
