Anthony Hanshaw is the most recognizable and challenging opponent that Dirrell has fought as a professional. The 30 year-old Hanshaw, winless in his last three fights, pushed Roy Jones, Jr. to the limit during their bout in July 2007.

Oscar De La Hoya vs Floyd MayweatherDe La Hoya Beats Forbes
by Francis Walker
Oscar De La Hoya (39-5, 30 KOs), in preparation for a rematch with WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather, Jr., won a unanimous 12-round decision against Steve Forbes (33-6, 9 KOs). All three judges had De La Hoya leading 119-109 (twice) and a 120-108 shutout.

De La Hoya vs. Forbes will also be Oscar’s first non-pay per view bout since he starched Arturo Gatti (KO 5) in March 2001. De La Hoya (38-5, 30 KOs), I am positive, will have sentimental memories when he fights in front of his hometown once again.
