De La Hoya ponders future after title defeat

Oscar De La Hoya said he "didn't feel like a loser" after being beaten on a split decision by Floyd Mayweather Jr. last weekend.

De La Hoya lost his World Boxing Council super welterweight title to Mayweather in front of 16,200 fans at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino.

"I felt I stuck to my game plan. I didn't feel like I lost," De La Hoya told a news conference.

De La Hoya (38-5, 30 KOs) had earlier questioned the verdict of the three judges, two of whom scored the fight for Mayweather.

"I felt I won," De La Hoya said. "I landed the harder and crisper punches. I was pressing the fight. I'm the champion, and you have to do more than that to beat the champion."

De La Hoya left open the possibility of a rematch, but also hinted that he might retire.

"Obviously, I'm going to go back to the drawing board and talk it over with my family. I got to go back to the drawing board and see how my boy feels."
