” The issue all along, understood, was not what he would do with Ricardo Mayorga on May 6 but rather what he’d do on May 7, after he was finished with him. That remains the question today, although anyone who has watched De La Hoya for long assumes he knows the answer to that just as he knew the answer all along to Mayorga’s angry riddle.
