    Is De La Hoya A Choker?

    September 18th 1999,

    In De La Hoya's fight against Trinidad, he was clearly taking Trinidad to school, giving him a boxing lesson.Outboxing him, and giving him a real good beating. Even his trainers were so convinced of his performance, they told him he had the fight won.

    Come the 10th, 11th and 12th round, and Oscar is content dancing around the ring, letting Trinidad chase him and beating him to the punch in all 3 rounds, in the end giving Trinidad the victory.


    May 5th 2007,

    Oscar is winning the earlier rounds, but later on abandons his jab, and in the end gives the fight away in a very very close fight.

    Whats with Oscar's tendency to give fights away? Does he have trouble putting his opponents away.

    That would have been 2 fights he could have EASILY won that could have catapulted his status into an ATG, and proved to everyone how elite a fighter he could have been.

    What he did against Trini isnt choking because he decided not to try. He plain just ran. Against Mayweather though, I guess he did choke because he had a working game and just lost his concentration.

        That isn't choking, that's just failure.

            He has many meaningful wins. Don't let DLH's choice in body fishnets convince you otherwise. He's just failed on many basic goals I know he had set for himself. He's never choked. That would be a complete crushing and humiliation.

            The closest I've seen DLH totally choke was against Hops and that was just a one shot KO. Not a sustained clowning causing a 'choke'. And even that was an after effect babyfit of pounding the canvas.

                  NO.

                  All 3 were past their primes.

                  Like I said he has NO meaningful wins.

                  Vargas???...lol.

                  Mayorga???...lol.

                  He lost to Tito...Hopkins....lil Floyd...Mosley twice.
