Where does De La Hoya RANK in the history of greatest jabs of all-time?

Yup so far behind that he lost by 1 point where several people at the time also felt Oscar deserved the decision but I love how after some time has passed they make it out to seem like fuxxxkk boy Floyd dominated Oscar . Lol Well the bookies had Oscar favoured didn’t they? It’s not like that will be remembered. Boxing just like all history fades away and the last detail to go will just be a “W”. It’s the same with Oscars win over Sturm. Oscar was favoured over Manny. It wasn’t even close. Overrated is part of boxing. Our own opinion should be what matters, that’s why we have forums to shove it down people’s throats and that’s the lol

Oscar had a great and powerful jab and a mediocre right. He is left handed but boxes from a right handed stance putting his power hand up front and giving him a powerful left jab and left hook and a right hand that was just average. Sonny Liston, Trinidad and Quartey were also converted southpaws with powerful jabs and left hooks. Liston and Trinidad also had a great right hand that Quartey and Oscar dd not have. Oscar's jab was excellent and among the best. How did I not know Trinidad was a converted south paw?! But yeah Oscar could jab and hook. But what I noticed about him was his chin tucked into his chest and his eyes up. He had a solid chin. He also dragged his left foot and kept it low as opposed to Trinidad who kept his high. I remember watching him fight bazooka live. Great fight. He could finish a fighter.

No, one judge and Floyd's own father and many of us did. The judge was obviously not credible. There was bad blood between Mayweather and his father at the time and they were estranged. So no, he wasn't credible either Maybe you can show that list of the "many" that thought Delahoya won?

Who the fuuckkk is credible lol Bottom line is Floyd ****kk boys try n act like he dominated that *****tt when anyone who doesn’t have Floyd dixkkk in their mouth knows that wasn’t the case. That was a super close fight but just like alotta of his other fights(including the one he lost against Castillo) biitch boy was the spoiled baby of boxing. Definitely not you.

He had a very good jab and left hand in general. He did get outjabbed by Quartey who I’d definitely consider a better jabber. I don’t think of De La Hoya when thinking of the greatest jabbers in history. I think of the following in that category - Larry Holmes, Harold Johnson, Marvin Hagler, Lennox Lewis, Sonny Liston, Tommy Hearns, Sugar Ray Robinson, Jose Napoles, Ken Buchanan, Ricardo Lopez, Marco Antonio Barrera, Winky Wright, Tommy Loughran, Fighting Harada, Ike Quartey, Benny Leonard, Joe Gans, George Benton, Gene Tunney, Rafael Marquez, Joe Louis, Bob Foster, Archie Moore, Curtis Cokes etc; No Ali? Maybe the fastest jab of all. And Buster Douglas, when he was on, is also at the top. With his jab in bout before Tyson, KDed his opponent 2x with his jab. Rare for any weight, but esp for HW.

Nobody credible thought Oscar won that fight. No, one judge and Floyd's own father and many of us did.

Not good enough to avoid being nullified and countered by the true TBE

Truly special, if he was around today he'd make a mockery of these so called champions. I don’t think he’d beat Crawford. Once Bud turned lefty he’d have a hell of a time because he sucked vs. southpaws and could never handle speed that well. He was an excellent welterweight but his two best wins were very controversial (Quartey & Whitaker) and he never really separates himself. I’m not sure he’d rank in the top 20 at 147 historically and if he did it would be right at the bottom of the list.

Yup Definitely one of the greatest WW of all time. Truly special, if he was around today he'd make a mockery of these so called champions.

Yes but where doe's he rank among boxings greatest cross dressers and kitchen utensil guzzlers?

Thoughts?? Didn't Felix Sturm jab hell outta him (compubox has it 112 - 58)? Course Oscar never really belonged at 160 but he really wasn't giving up that much reach. He did have a great jab when he was younger though.. and specially (dare I say it) when fighting smaller guys.

Terrific jab and as he was naturally left handed, he go some serious pop into it, along with his left hook. A prime Oscar at welter was a special fighter.

No idea but for as solid of a jab as that was, Ward's didnt get the same reputation and Ward had a better jab

Jabbed in the ass with a spatula.
