How and why did Oscar De lahoya lose your respect?

lol, how is DLH not a real Mexican? Most of the Mexican Americans that I hear talk abot Chicano pride dont even speak spanish fluently or at all while DLH actually speaks better spanish than english! Besides, that pussy whipped dude has actually become more Puerto Rican than anything lately, ha ha. Anyway DLH doesnt have a badass attitude like Margarito but he wouldnt be a successful businessman if he did. That's just ICANTLIE being bitter angry and jealous.. His opinion means just about as much a bag of poop is worth.... Both in the Italian vs. Jewish rivalry where American yet it still was the Italian v. Jewish rivalry.. It's more about heritage and culture then where you are born.

I stil respect him, He is one of my all time favourite fighters, I am just very dissapointed that he is choosing Manny Pacquiao, who has just made his 135 pound debut as his oppenent... I'll second this.

Oscar De La Hoya was the first fighter I ever saw on PPV when I was little. He was and is an inspiration coming from the same place that I'm from and making it to the Olympics winning a gold medal for his mother. He's always been one of those people I looked up to growing up. Lately his business decisions and his refusal to give it up and retire have been getting on my nerves. He is losing lots of respect from me fighting dudes like Stevie Forbes and Manny Pacquiao. De La Hoya is not a jr. middleweight.. he has let himself go so much that he fights in that division. He can't compete in that division though so he fights smaller men and IMO he can no longer compete with the big names in the welter division either which is why he should give it up. I don't dislike Oscar.. but I've seen now how fake he can be sometimes. At the end of the day I will always be a fan of his but I don't agree with what he is doing at all. I think Oscar could have won some of those fights he was in more convincigly if he would have trained harder and been more worried about boxing then about being a star. He wouldn't of had so many loses and those having a better legacy but like we say... woulda coulda didnt.

Like Canibus said about LL. 99% of your fans wear high heals. Dude is a pony. He's not mesican, he's American. People like him only use thier roots when it suits them. Hes like Paula Abdul calling herself white. The girls think he was cute an his male fans want to chew his dick. That and hes a Jew. Unless it's you on that picture, I'd say you are the idiot. (Ofcourse it's not you on the picture.)

AI-holmes the girl with the Canadian bathing suit is named Bobby Billard. I macked her a little over 5 years ago in Cali. Forgot all about her till' I saw the picture. Thanks for the reminder.

I couldn't stand the guy earlier in his career. I was a big Trinidad Fan and before they fought there was just a little too much "cheese" with his persona. Over the years I've learned to respect him. He is indeed a great champ and represents the game in a positive way. In his better days he took on all challenges! Let's face it, they guy is now past his prime but still gets the ratings and allows others to make a decent living if they have an opportunity to fight him. I think he has earned the right to fight who he wants without people bashing him. He is not from the same era as Margarito. He would have beat him in his prime. I can't blame the guy for not choosing him as an opponent after watching him beat Cotto. He's had those battles...been there done that!

Never lost respect for him, he has been on top of the food chain for years, whether he holds a title or not..

ughhhhhhhh not gonna happen ughhhhhhhhhh..why not? Pac and freddie roach are trash talkin talkin and he needs to fight a top welter contender so people don't start attacking his rep. His plan from the begginning was to fight money may in september then retire with a fight in december, now he can do this by fighting pac and margarito.

He has fought nearly everyone and made many fighter quite rich. At this point he can be picky in who he wants to face given that he always face the creme of the crop earlier in his career. He might have lost most of his big fight but he didn't duck anyone. If he did he would have a much more shinny record. wow will you marry me, lmao no homo...but you are right he has my respect, i still want him to fight margarito though but who ever he fights if its pacquiao, he never ducked anybody, if he did he would of been undefeated p4p the best you heard floyd

You are correct about Winky, Forrest, and Margarito, Dios. Odlh is/was a very good boxer. Can't deny that. But, he also represented and practice what's wrong with the game.

never gave whitaker or quartey a rematch. running from tito. said he'd never fight vargas. then when vargas was clearly shot he finally was willing to fight him. waited until mosley looked shot before wanting a rematch with him. ducking winky wright. fighting pacquaio.

He should fight pac in september and if he wins fight margarito in december. ughhhhhhhh not gonna happen

I lost respect for him when he ran from Tito for the last few rounds and never stood his ground to fight like most Mexicans are known for. Cotto vs Margarito lived up to the hype that Oscar vs Tito was supposed to live up to years ago. It was a disappointing fight for both latin countries, we expected so much more... Oscar has since stood his ground, but back then he was more interested in keeping his face pretty for the spanish soap operas he was filming, that's what caused his loss of respect for most Oscar fans. Otherwise, he's still a great fighter and proving to be a warrior even late in his career...

He should fight pac in september and if he wins fight margarito in december.

I always have and always will respect him, as I do all boxers.

All of the above lol. Mexican don't like him cause he beat up chavez sr and because his fighting style, always backing up we like brawlers period. And also he tried singing WTF!!! why a boxer sign???? I gotta rengonize he is a good boxer and an excellent business man.

Vernon Forrest Winky Wright There is only so many fights that can be made during a career. Forrest was always hurt by the way... Winky would want more money than DeLaHoya.... given that he thinks he is the biggest star in the universe. Common... get rid of granny and put someone under 30.

i respect him because he fought everyone but now hes starting to lose it by calling out pac when he will 100% beat pac because of the size difference, that and him losing to floyd mayweather :d Pac called him out and losing to mayweather who was the best in the world is no shame.
