The Associated Press LAS VEGAS, Nev. In a perfect fight promoter's world, Oscar De La Hoya and Julio Cesar Chavez would have sold their respective fights tonight at Caesars Palace as risky bouts against tough contenders eager to spoil their multimillion dollar paydays. Even with $9 million purses at stake, both have had trouble convincing even themselves that Dar-ryl Tyson and Scott Walker are anything more than warmups for their June 7 showdown. "He's not the strongest boxer, that's for sure," De La Hoya (20-0, 18 knockouts) said of Tyson (47-8-1), who has lost two of his last five fights. "If I had fought more often recently, this kid wouldn't last more than three, four rounds," Chavez (96-1-1, 78 knockouts) said of Walker (21-3-1), the WBC's 26th-ranked super lightweight.

Chavez and De La Hoya are heavily favored to win tonight, so much so that promoter Bob Arum already has scheduled a Feb. 16 news conference in Mexico City to kick off promotion of their next fight. "That fight will break all records," said Chavez, who will be fighting his 100th pro bout. "I'm going to be very motivated for that fight." Getting motivated for the tun-eups has been more difficult. In Chavez' case, he's fighting a boxer who dubs himself the "Pink Cat," a string bean known as much for wearing gaudy pink trunks as for his biggest win, over a washed-up Alexis Arguello in January 1995.

And De La Hoya all but admits he took Tyson as an opponent because he didn't want too tough a fight in his first bout at 140 pounds. Although Tyson is a re- SPORTS Shaded boxes Indicate home games.

If the Lewis-Mercer fight is made, DiBella said, former heavyweight champions Evander Holyfield and Tim Witherspoon could appear in separate fights on the card, which would be televised by HBO. spectable journeyman, he is not to be confused with Mike Tyson. "He tries," De La Hoya said. "He's not a runner. He will fight.

I have a game plan to box him, but we don't want to show too much against Tyson." De La Hoya's fight will be a 12-round non-title bout, for which he will earn about $1.75 million. Tyson, a 25-1 underdog, will get $75,000 to play the role of a possible spoiler. Chavez, a 16-1 favorite, will be fighting over the weight in a 10-round fight contracted at 144 pounds. De La Hoya, who gave up the WBO lightweight title to move up in weight, will fight first on the card, which will be on HBO beginning about 9:30 p.m. EST.
