De La Hoya: "Mayweather must come to 154!"

At Thursdays taping of ESPN's Quite Frankly with Stephen A. Smith, Oscar De La Hoya commented off camera that "Floyd Mayweather must come up to 154lbs" if he wants a piece of the "Golden Boy."  Provided Oscar is able to get by the hard punching and awkward style of 154lb WBC champion Ricardo Mayorga, a match up with the #1 P4P fighter in the world, "Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather Jr., could easily become one of the highest grossing and most anticipated fights in the history of boxing.  Will 154lbs be too much for the P4P Picasso or will he stop the final chance at glory for the Golden Boy?  With Judah standing in front of Mayweather, and Mayorga in front of De La Hoya, both fighters seem to have their plates full.
