Boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya offers to train Ronda Rousey for free.

De La Hoya, the Hall of Fame Boxer, voices his admiration to Ultimate Fighting Championship fighter Rousey and even wanted to talk to her and even help hone her boxing skills, Fight Hype reported.

"I would do it for free...I love the girl...what she's going through, especially now, if can contact her and get a hold of her and talk to her for like 10 minutes, I mean, that's like, wow, I would love to do that...she's a gal who has transcended the sport and can do a lot for boxing," De La Hoya said.

The Golden Boy Promotions head is willing to do that, especially as he understands the current situation she is in right now.

Rousey tasted her first loss to Holly Holm in Melbourne, Australia on Nov. 14 at UFC 193, The Guardian informed. This event led to the capture of her UFC bantamweight title that she managed to defend for six times in the past. Suffering her first defeat will just be a difficult time for her, De La Hoya suggested.

The boxing promoter felt the same thing when he bowed for the first time on his 32nd bout in his career to Puerto Rico's legendary fighter Felix "Tito" Trinidad, per BoxRec. The two boxers clashed in September 1999 for a welterweight unification fight. Trinidad was aiming to secure his International Boxing Federation title for the 15th time while De La Hoya was defending his World Boxing Council for the eighth time, theBoxRec noted. De La Hoya reportedly felt that "he had dominated the early rounds" but Trinidad emerged triumphant.

"The Money" also wants to help Rousey

It is not just "The Golden Boy" who offered support to Rousey to gain back her confidence. The unbeaten champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. also expressed his support to Rousey, Fight Hype noted.

"I want Ronda Rousey to hold her head up high and don't let this discourage you. If you need help as far as with boxing, I'm here to help you," Mayweather said.

However, "The Money," who lost the best fighter honor in the ESPY Awards to Rousey, advised her not to head for a rematch soon.

"I think that she needs some time off to regroup and refocus...They need to build Ronda Rousey back up, her confidence back up," Mayweather said.

Mayweather suggested that Rousey should allow Holm defend her title for a few times before she fights her again for her lost crown.

Will Rousey seek the assistance of any of these boxing greats? Should she listen to Mayweather's advice and not go for an immediate rematch?
