Flamboyant veteran Promoter Don King wants to promote a re-match slugfest between Oscar De La Hoya and Felix Trinidad.

Unabashed by narrowly losing the heavyweight purse bid for the Maskaev vs. Peter clash, the wiry haired wily one, delighted in borrowing the limelight from fellow promoters Dino Duva and Dennis Rappaport in Mexico City, at the offices of the World Boxing Council.

Conservatively dressed in a sober gray suit. But also sporting a Stars and Stripes tie and matching handkerchief, a noticeably slimmer Don King drew a jostling crowed of Mexican reporters like bees to a honey pot, and with an occasional flourish of his unlit cigar, he couldn’t resist raising the tasty prospect of a re-match between Oscar and Tito.

He observed: “Well Oscar and Trinidad would be more of a fight (than Mayweather), because they will at least fight each other, and Felix holds a victory over Oscar. I think the fight between Mayweather and Oscar was just to get some money, because it didn’t figure for Oscar to win that fight unless he knocked him out, because there was no way he could outpoint Floyd.

“But Oscar and Tito are both in the same age category, they are both warriors, all the Latinos and gringos around the world realize this would be a FIGHT!!! It would be more competitive, more quality , more excitement and a BIGGER fight.”

Mr King agreed that the first Oscar Tito fight was very competitive joking: “It was a very close fight, but Oscar says he wins all fights!” (roars with laughter)

And would he like to promote that fight? “Absolutemente, exacto! You know what I mean! I would love to promote that fight.”

And as for location, Mr King said anywhere would be fine, but he might even like it to be in the Azteca Stadium- the site of the 136,000 world record attendance for his promotion of Julio Cesar Chavez vs. Greg Haugen. He slightly elaborated on this by suggesting: “Viva Mexico!”
