best fighter oscar de la hoya ever faced?

HAHAHAA..Of Course Oscar would stepped up in weight class to fight Bernard..Coz he stands to make a lot of money in that fight while BHOP was only paid a slave wage of $1Million!!! http://www.azstarnet.com/sn/printDS/39627 In earning a purse of $10 million, the 39-year-old Hopkins enjoyed the biggest payday of his 16-year career.

he gets mad props for stepping in the ring with hopkins at middleweight ..i take my hat off to that HAHAHAA..Of Course Oscar would stepped up in weight class to fight Bernard..Coz he stands to make a lot of money in that fight while BHOP was only paid a slave wage of $1Million!!!

i'd say shane mosley.

SUGAR SHANE MOSLEY!!!!!!!!!!! FUKKERSSSSSSSS NO ONE ELSE!!!! Hopkins is too big for Oscar so it's a mismatched from the beginning....

no he wasnt..he was losing on 2 of the cards Thanks for the correction. I had it close I couldn't remember.

agreed at that moment Bernard Hopkins was probably the most complete fighter in the game. I would say the Mosley that fought in their first fight was about as good a fighter as Oscar has seen as well. Yup...damn Mosley was awesome that night. He was simply...too good. I'm still amazed by that performance.

More important than who is when. So simple...a lot of those names weren't what they used to be when he fought them. I'm constantly baffled by people who live through Oscar's antics yet somehow believe he was different years ago because they're impressed by the names they see on boxrec. He's always been the type to handicap other fighters--whether it was making Hopkins move down to 156, fighting Chavez at welter, or making Pac move up two divisions, etc. The best fighter Oscar faced was Bernard Hopkins. agreed at that moment Bernard Hopkins was probably the most complete fighter in the game.

I concur........ Bernard Hopkins...:hail: 1) Mosley 2) Quartey 3) Whitaker (was an ugly styles fight)

Bernard Hopkins...

For me the best he fought was Felix Trinidad. prime for prime You can also put Bazooka Quartey in that list.

Say what you will about DLH, but his resume is ridiculous (fights taken, not wins).

ODLH fought the best, and became an up-and-coming promoter. What disturbs and bugs the hell outta me are the homophobic remarks. Love or hate the man, he gave to his community, gave other boxers a chance to fight him. Honestly, ODLH can't win for losing. I give him credit for not going Mike Tyson on some of those knuckleheads. He is not the best boxer, but he's done a lot for the sport. Great thread, BTW.

time he fought them. PBF & MP sir... maybe mosley... i really expected hopkins to own him then... sweet pea & JCC & genaro were a little past it the time ODLH fought them...

u mean @ the time ODLH fought them? or when they were in their absolute prime? time he fought them.

That's why people who don't respect DLH are complete idiots. I think he had a great resume and these are some decisions I thought went good or bad for him; #1 - He beat Trinidad #2 - He beat Mosley in their second fight #3 - He lost vs Sturm #5 - He was up on the score cards against Hopkins until he knocked out. #6 - His performance against Mayweather was brilliant considering he was 35 yrs old vs the best pound4pound fighter in the world.

nobody goes through that list undefeated I completely agree.....even pac has an unbelievable resume...he had 2 lose 1 of those super fights...

nobody goes through that list undefeated
