I don't focus on any of that sort of stuff." OSCAR DE LA HOYA, President of Golden Boy Promotions "Victor is a fighter who comes forward and has a great chin. He is not afraid to engage other fighters. "Victor and Josesito are at their peaks. They could fight older guys, but this is what boxing is about. "I think Victor has what it takes to be the best. "If you want to be the best, you have to fight the best. Keeping fan's' interest in boxing takes making these types of fights. "Josesito has his plans to derail the Victor Ortiz express. This is Josesito's opportunity of a lifetime." DANNY GARCIA, Ortiz' Trainer "We are prepared and ready to beat Josesito. He will come 100% ready, but we are ready too. "I know Josesito's style.
