maromero: Oscar, how do you feel coming into this fight Saturday---you previous fights have gone sour.

Oscar De La Hoya: I feel better than ever, knowing these are my last three fights. I've prepared myself to giove it my all.

javier urquiza: Will you fight Miguel Cotto or Antonio Margarito after you beat Floyd Mayweather?

Oscar De La Hoya: Well, after Stevie Forbes and Mayweather, the plan is to fight the best. If that's Antonio or Miguel Cotto, then that's who it'll be.

APA: If you win this Saturday against Steve Forbes what weight will you fight at in your anticipated rematch with Floyd Mayweather Jr.?

Oscar De La Hoya: The fight will be at 149, give or take one pound.

Luis from Roosevelt HS: Hello and congratulations on being one of the most respected and successful Hispanic (Mexican) role models from the East LA Community. That being said; Have you considered running for some type of political office once your boxing days have passed?

Oscar De La Hoya: Well, I would never count it out.

vretz2121: Oscar can we expect to see you on your toes and pumping out your jab for your last three fights? ( YOu let Floyd jr. off the hook when you quit jabbing)

Oscar De La Hoya: I'll do anything to help the community where I grew up.

steve: Why did you choose Forbes and not a better know fighter for your tune-up fight?

APA: Where was your training done for this fight? How does it feel working with Floyd Sr. again?

Oscar De La Hoya: You hit my game plan right on the button. I've been working on moving on my toes and throwing my combinations with lightning speed. It's unbelievable the difference a few less pounds make.

Oscar De La Hoya: Well, Stevie Forbes has that similar style of a Mayweather. And second, Stevie Forbes is a tough customer. He's going to make me fight. He'll be in front of me all night.

Administrator4: Keep asking questions. Oscar is answering as fast as he can......

Oscar De La Hoya: Puerto Rico. I was going to go up to Big Bear, but I decided since I'm fighting three times this year that meant being away from the family for 7 months. The last two fights I'll do in Big Bear. Mayweather Sr. and I have a perfect relationship. Like a hand and a glove. We're the perfect team. It gives me so much confidence. Look at the fights we've done. We've been winners. The two losses, I was in great shape against Bernard Hopkins, I was in the fight, and the second Mosley fight, a lot of people said was a weird decision. He keeps me in shape when he's in my corner.

OC Fan: Oscar you being from LA, who do you go for? UCLA or USC

Oscar De La Hoya: I'm a USC fan. My little boy Jacob is the biggest USC fan, so I can't go against him.

steve: Oscar, why take the Forbes fight prior to the Mayweather fight? Don't you think a better known opponent would prepare you better for the September rematch by motivating you and your team to train harder?
