If de la hoya went his whole career undefeated would he be GOAT?

[Atreyu Khalil]

It was just a duck fest of epic proportions, that backfired against the duckers and cherrypickers. De La Hoya was scared of Margarito, cherrypicked Pacquiao and got knocked out. Margarito wanted no part of Paul Williams and instead cherrypicked the aging Shane Mosley coming off a not so great performance against Mayorga, and got knocked out worse than De La Hoya. The cherrypickers got picked apart

This is simply not true. He fought Pacquiao because it financially smarter to. Margarito loses to Paul Williams, gets one win vs Cotto then got knocked out by Mosley. His stock wasn't high enough.

The Bricked Glove Margarito that fought Cotto in 2008 vs the lifeless shell of himself Oscar that fought Pacquiao in 2008 would have defeated the drained skeleton that was De la hoya. But I don't think he "ducked" him....

And anyways Oscar already knocked out Margarito.......in his music video.

that vid was hilarious. he did beat margo didnt he.

No, Kev is right. Margarito stock was just as high as Pac or even higher at that time. The Mosley fight wouldn't have happened. So that had nothing to do with it. Oscar said I will fight the winner banking that it would have been Cotto. Possibly a much easier stylistic match up. When he saw how monsterish Margarito looked he cherry picked a LW who only had one F'ing fight at 135. He ducked Margarito to fight what plenty considered a joke of a fight and a mismatch in Oscar favor. People were talking down on that fight. People saw a Margarito fight as legit. And, Margarito stock was very high at this time. He just had a 500k PPV with Cotto also BTW.

Margarito has never ducked anybody, and he won all of the late rounds against Williams.

If that was a 15 rounder, he would have beat him.

Paul Williams offered 4mil to Margarito for a rematch after Marg beat Cotto. 4mil a career high payday. So Margarito could avenge his loss. Margarito said thanks but no thanks and went on to fight Mosley for half of that. Yes he did duck a P-Will rematch.

Oscar is already the greatest in terms of sexiness in my books
