The rematch between featherweights Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik Morales scheduled for March 2 at the MGM Grand has been postponed because of an injury to Barrera. Barrera injured a rib when he was hit by a sparring partner Jan. 30. His doctors said he can't resume training until March 15.
Barrera and Morales fought Feb. 19, 2000, in what was later named Ring Magazine's ``Fight of the Year.'' Although most neutral observers thought Barrera won, the decision went to Morales.
Five-time world champion Oscar De La Hoya has a simple plan three fights and out the door. De La Hoya's personal single-elimination competition begins May 4 in Las Vegas when he defends his WBC super welterweight title against Fernando Vargas, a man he admits he truly dislikes and believes is bad for the sport he loves. De La Hoya, 34-2 with 27 knockouts, said he also hopes to fight Felix Trinidad and Shane Mosley -- the two fighters who've beaten him -- before he retires. But first things first, and first is Vargas. What if he loses?
De La Hoya realizes Vargas will be a tough opponent, but said he looks forward to the fighting him for one reason if no
other.

Quote:``My retirement plan comes earlier,'' De La Hoya replied. ``Oh yeah, of course, there's no doubt about it. That's the easy way out, losing and just retiring. Of course, I don't want that. that's a lot of pressure there.''

Quote:``I really want to beat this guy,'' De La Hoya said. ``I've never had an animosity toward anybody. This guy, I really do, I really have some animosity towards him because he represents the bad side of boxing... Vargas is another Tyson.''
