OSCAR DE LA HOYA is the latest to join the club of calling out an old and retired fighter for a clash with a rising star.
This week he said 24-year-old Ryan Garcia should face Manny Pacquiao.
That's the 44-year-old ring legend, who has spent more time on the political campaign trail than in the ring since a 2021 defeat by Yordenis Ugas, against someone he would have peppered in his pomp.
De La Hoya isn't the only one at it.
Fellow promoter Eddie Hearn was relishing the suspended Conor Benn, 26, pushing Kell Brook at ringside recently in the hope it would spark interest in a future fight worth mega money.
