Without focusing much on love/hate for the particular fighters themselves, lets post some resumes (win, lose or draw) that are impressive.
Mosley:
Winky Wright x2
Ricardo Mayorga
Manny Pacquiao
Floyd Mayweather
Fernando Vargas x2
Oscar DeLa Hoya x2
Vernon Forrest x2
Luis Collazo
Miguel Cotto
Antonio Margarito
Raul Marquez
That's some resume. Can't say he didn't fight anybody. His prime rival DLH is one of the few who can match that.
Bernard Hopkins
Glen Johnson
Roy Jones (2Xs)
Felix Trinidad
William Joppy
Oscar De La HOya
Jermain Taylor (2Xs)
Antonio Tarver
Winky Wright
Joe Calzaghe
Kelly Pavlik
Jean Pascal
DLH and PED suspicions?
Yeah.
After Mosley was proven a roider in the BALCO scandal it was evident that he juiced for the DLH fight. A fight Mosley won by coming on strong in the championship rounds courtesy of the EPO he had taken.
When this became public knowledge surely DLH went out and said that his loss was tainted and he wanted the fight declared a no-contest right? No. DLH did zip. That is odd.
Furthermore the great Thomas Hauser writes in an excellent piece on PED's and boxing:
Oscar De La Hoya can show the world how a righteous PED-free fighter acts. In order to fully inform the public on the issues involved (and remove any hint of suspicion that he himself might not have clean hands) Oscar should waive his right to confidentiality and authorize the Nevada State Athletic Commission to release the results of any tests for performance enhancing drugs that he has taken in the past. The same waiver should authorize all present and past NSAC personnel and any other person with knowledge of the situation to discuss the test results with any media representative who inquires about them.
I’m not talking about Lidocaine (which Oscar acknowledges having taken when he suffered a cut prior to his 2004 fight against Bernard Hopkins). Nor am I talking about creatine (which Lem Satterfield, then of the Baltimore Sun, authoritatively reported that Oscar incorporated into his training regimen in 1999 when he was preparing to fight Felix Trinidad).
I’m talking about the possibility of something more.
Let me even suggest wording for the waiver that Oscar can make public and send to the Nevada State Athletic Commission:
“I, Oscar De La Hoya, hereby waive all right of confidentiality with regard to the past testing of my blood and urine for steroids and other performance enhancing drugs conducted by or on behalf of the Nevada State Athletic Commission. In that regard, I also authorize all present and past Nevada State Athletic Commission personnel and any other person with knowledge of the situation to speak openly with the media about such testing.”
To paraphrase: “C’mon, Oscar. If you have nothing to hide, then do it. It’s only a piece a paper. Just sign the waiver.”
As I recall Hauser (or somebody else) followed up on this, but De La Hoya ignored it despite this great opportunity to tell the world that he was clean in a world of roiders.
Manny Pacquiao
Barrera 2Xs
