the fact that it was either past prime, nothing like before names or guys who were very good, had great current standings but just weren't what they were thought of, guys who probably lost 1st or 2nd to Oscar but went on to lose more and more against elite level fighters, no doubt Oscar was up there but I feel his level of opposition didn't warrant such a high demand, yea he took on the best and lost to the bestter half, which is my problem with him BTW, but rewind to back then, to back when 2008 was like the end of the world in our minds, we all saw Oscar De la Hoya just beat Jorge Paez, Genaro Hernandez, Gabriel Ruelas but what we saw more than anything was girls mobbing him everywhere, fans sucking his **** everywhere he went and basically even him in the news for beating on a chick, all of these things contributed to him being the big name he is today, his looks and his celebrity status in Latino America helped shape him into the man he is and not so much who he BEAT. see he beat Whitaker but we all know the truth there, he beat Molina but we all know the truth there, he beat Quartey but again we all know the truth there..
everyone else was either not on his level or better than him career wise but just didn't have it anymore, like a non die hard Boxing fan would be like "De La Hoya beat Chavez, he's great" and not know that Chavez was WAYYY past his prime in those 2 fights, still a threat but Chavez IMO is like a one of a kind despite some gift decisions, he was a warrior and I feel that enough of that false hype and bull**** claims on Oscar helped build this bull**** level of celebrity that always held him above better fighters who have beaten him but his star status pulled him out of danger, it wasn't until he faced an equally prized star opponent that he lost even with losing 3 times prior, his name and rep saved him a lot of times and since back then until now he uses that name and rep to get him places where his hands haven't earned like against Floyd, it's no mystery his money not his ability buys him a shot at these guys, you can scream split decision all you want but that **** was unanimous yo Floyd won clearly, people who like Oscar will always push for him but never admit it, they blame it on aggression or whatever but truth be told it's fanatical bull**** because from a non biased view Floyd won the fight.
what did he have to do? kill him? Floyd won but people will always support this dude, it's what they have been accustomed to doing since back then, they hear the name and like a clock on timer they reach for the phone and order his fights not because he's the best or he's better than such and such but because he is who he is, his name and face saves him a lot and I don't like it, he faced the best but he lost to the better of his opposition and even the guys he did beat that were any good and not past their prime he really actually lost. thats my problem with him, how he can lose 3 of his last 5 fights and not even be pound for pound ranked but because he got a million dollars for you he can just jump the line, I don't like that ****.. I wrote it wrote it ain't who he fought, he fought everybody he just lost to the better of his opposition and his name and rep saved him, thats **** I don't like.
