Do you like Oscar De La Hoya?

[KingTito]

i couldn't really answer, my thoughts of de la hoya have changed, at first i hated him, then i started liking him after he beat vargas, and now i'm starting to dislike him a bit, i kinda just want him to retire.. his time is done, now's he's just raking up cash, let the new generation get theirs.. i would say i respect him for who he's fought, and let's be honest, he has made a lot of money for the sport, and has brought much publicity to boxing, but i don't like what he seems to be doing now

Oscar seems to get a lot of hate on here. I'm wondering why.

Do you like his character for being a good guy and a legend of the boxing game or think he is underhanded, sneaky, self-promoting etc?

I think he has been a great fighter and good for the sport but he needs to ride off into the sunset at this point..

[NachoMan]

I'm still a fan, but I understand why so many fans are tired of him. It's pretty obvious that ODLH has done more than other fighter in his era to broaden the fan base of the sport, so I think he'll be missed quite a bit when he finally does hang them up.

I agree.

I'm still a fan but admittedly his best days are behind him.

I don't like him because I feel the guy is two faced from any point you want to see it.

The man says he wants to help the sport of Boxing and its fighters yet he makes the priciest PPV's and tickets for his fighters. On top of that he doesn't deliver the excitement for your buck. That only hurts the sport.

On top of it all because of his pulling power he derails what champs should do and defend against threats to fight him instead, a semi-retired superstar.

The man might have seemed like a help to boxing when women came to watch him unlike any other fighter before but considering the fans he created only stay for him and don't transcend to the other fighters it doesn't really help squat.

In reality the only 2 things i like about him are that he is a ****ing genius businessman and the only fighter to treat his promoter like the employee he is, and his fine ass wife.

[BiggyGuns91]

I actually do....as a fighter that is, he is good for the sport since he won his gold medal and im also anticipating his September rematch with Little Floyd and i always believe he will fight anyone(well now he will fight anyone he is sure will make him money) but he he a good thing for the sport

[stickandmove12]

I don't care about his personality. He's just fun to watch.

[KILLA RIGHT]

There' s not one fighter i have ever hated more then this ***..He is a ok fighter,the most overated fighter of our era. Should have 6 loses.Never beaten a great fighter (he had 2 u can argue)but he never whooped a good fighter..They say he's a great guy but based on what?He's fake and Mexicans will never consider him a real mexican fighter he's a chicano.He don't have the heart of a mexican fighter watch him against tito.

Floyd lovers mantra: "We reject your reality and substitute our own."

I think its the other way around. I think most of the ppl who support floyd are not floyd lovers at all and every person who has something against floyd is a floyd hater. you'd have to be a hater to think that he isn't a great skilled fighter and that he doesn't pick big fights cuz he is both. he is one of the greatest skill-wise fighter of all-time. you should be honored just be able to witness his fights live.

and proof that its floyd haters that reject reality and substitute it for their own, i wanna see you substitute this reality of floyds so called hand-picked opponents.

Genaro Hernandez - 38-1-1 when they fought and WBC SFW champ.

Diego Corrales - 33-0 (27 ko's) also Ring #1 Jr Lightweight and #5 P4P when they fought.

Jose Luis Castillo - Ring #1 Lightweight champ and WBC lightweight champ when they fought. and was later ranked as high as 7th on the ring p4p list.

Arturo Gatti - "Too big too strong for floyd. floyd is gonna get rocked by Gatti's powerful punches and there is no way Gatti could possibly get ko'd by mayweather cuz he has faced much more powerful punchers and he can take punishment like nobody else"<---what everybody thought at the time. and Gatti was the ring #2 jr welterweight when they fought.

Zab Judah - was Ring #1 Welterweight Champ(4 months prior to their fight) and IBF WW title holder. Ring #10 on the P4P list 2005.

Baldomir: Rated number #1 WW and Linear Champion when they fought

Oscar De La Hoya - just came off a win on mayorga. mayorga beat vernon forrest twice. Vernon Forrest beat mosley twice. so, needless to say dlh wasn't a past prime fighter and had all his skills intact. was 1999 P4P #1 over #2 Roy Jones Jr. also was 2002 #1 jr mw, 2001 #1 jr mw, 1999 #1 ww, 1998 #1 ww, 1996 #1 jr ww, 1995 #1 LW.

Ricky Hatton - 2005 #4 on the p4p list. 43-0, #8 P4P and #1 jr ww when they fought. ricky hatton was not a blown up jr ww cuz that would make mayweather a blown up super feighterweight. and hatton walks around at 185 between fights so no excuses. This was a fair fight no matter what anyone says. Hatton came off a ko of castillo and 11th round stoppage of Kosta Tszyu. This win is extremely underrated by mayweather haters.
