    De La Hoya: WBO's Fighter of The Decade

    San Juan, Puerto Rico – It’s the fistic version of a daily double, and a distinction no other boxer has ever achieved, but yesterday at the World Boxing Organization (WBO) convention in Puerto Rico, Oscar de la Hoya was honored twice by the sanctioning body, both as “Fighter of The Decade” and “Promoter of The Year”.

      He held three of the titles for the WBO, no wonder he gets the award. They got to give something back for all the sanctioning fees:

      WBO Middleweight Title
      WBO Lightweight Title
      WBO Super Featherweight Title

            Who really dominated the 90s? No one went the whole distance except Lennox Lewis, James Toney. can anyone else think of any who went nearly undefeated in the 90's?

            RJJ?

                    I wonder if fighter are mostly likely to monplized by one belt because most of Floyd belts is WBC and in the Oscar fight he came with the WBC and Oscar was holding WBC.

                    Miguel Cotto is WBA guy

                    it kinda weird thing, maybe If they fight for organization abit long time and prefer there belt they get a fast title shot
