To me, it's like if you want to have an acquaintance with me, that's fine. But it's not on the top of my list, to be friends with him.
More Quotes from Oscar Hoya:
I need to fight the fighters that have wins over me. I hope Felix Trinidad comes back. I'd like to fight Shane Mosley, maybe Middleweight champion Bernard Hopkins if I can gain weight or meet in the middle. Those are the fights I'm looking for and those are the fights that will define my career.Oscar Hoya
I was seventeen when my mother passed away, ... I was heartbroken. Nothing mattered to me anymore. I thought seriously about not finishing high school, even of dropping out of boxing. Not one day passes that I don't think about my mother. And to be honest, there are still times when it's a lonely world without her. But I feel that I was blessed to have her in my life, and I believe she's still looking out for me.

I've grown up, ... I'm less naive than before. I stopped the party scene a long time ago and started spending more time with family and real friends. I'm not perfect. Sometimes, I think about what I would say if I could talk to my mother again. First, I'd get off my chest the mistakes and bad decisions I've made. I'm married now with a wonderful wife. We're expecting a baby boy in December. I'm doing LaMaze classes and experiencing morning sickness with her. As a father, I'm going to be there every day I possibly can. But I had two children out-of-wedlock, not with my wife, before I was married. They're beautiful children I adore them. But I grew up with a solid family, and Jacob and Atiana ages 7 and 6 are entitled to that too. I try to be a good father to them, but it's not the same and there were other times when my head was turned by fame and fortune. Maybe the best way to say it is that I've made mistakes in my life, but they were innocent mistakes and I've grown from them.

EA Sports Fight Night Round 3 is so realistic that anyone can pick up the game and learn about the actual sport while having a fun time doing it. The visuals in the game are so amazing. It's exciting to be contributing to a project that pushes the popularity of boxing to a new level and to a new audience.
