Oscar Ducked More Fighters Then Floyd Mayweather

[KING •]

I absolutely ADORE the Oscar De La Hoya fans out there who are so unwilling to face the real world.

They immediately respond to my articles, angrily stating that "The Golden Boy" fought all the toughest boxers out there and, in defending their manufactured idol ask the question, "WHO DID OSCAR DE LA HOYA DUCK?"

I am SO happy you asked. This is so easy to answer, it's almost pathetic.

Before Oscar fans accuse me of making up history, they should do a little homework. It won't take more than a minute or two to realize that De La Hoya carefully avoided so many quality opponents, it's disgusting.
If Oscar is such a fabulous champion in multiple weight divisions, why did he NOT ever get in the ring with:

At 130:
WBC Champion Azumah Nelson? WBC Champion Gabriel Ruelas? Oh, and please, De La Hoya people. Don't be confused. Oscar fought RAFAEL Ruelas, not Gabriel. You know, the Ruelas brother that WASN'T champ.

Somehow, Oscar managed to stay away from these guys. He didn't want a shot at their titles and I guess they weren't worthy of a match to unify the titles? Of course not. Instead, Oscar went after the weakest man at 130. Johnny Bredahl.


At 135:
WBA Champion Orzubek Nazarov? That bum was 23-0 with 16 KOs. Yeah, I can see why Oscar didn't want to meet him. Then there's WBO Champion Giovanni Parisi. You know, another nobody with a record of 27-1 with 19 KOs.

At 140:
IBF Champion Kostya Tszyu. Ever hear of him? He was 20-1-1 with 14 KOs. Was he also not worthy of a fight with De La Hoya? If you say so, you're an idiot.

Then there's WBA Champion Juan Martin Coggi. His terrible record was 63-3-2 with 40 KO's. Are you actually going to argue that HE didn't qualify for a shot at De La Hoya's title...or that De La Hoya should not have fought for Coggi's belt?

You can say Coggi wasn't that great, but if that's true, all the more reason for the ultra-careful Oscar to fight him.

Also at this weight division at that time was future champ, Frankie Randall. Oscar steered away from him as well.

Oh, and Giovanni Parisi, the former champ at 135 was also WBO champ at 140, but Oscar ducked him TWICE.

At 147:
IBF Champion Vernon Forrest. He had the belt for the last TWO YEARS that Oscar fought as a welterweight. Somehow, Oscar missed him. Forrest, at that time, was 34-0-1 with 25 KOs.

Yeah, De La Hoya fans. Vernon was a joke, right? Oscar shouldn't have wasted his time fighting him. Fine.

Then how come Oscar also didn't fight WBA Champion Ike Quartey? Yes, I know, I know. Oscar fought Quartey, correct? He sure did. TWO YEARS after Quartey was champ. Besides, many boxing writers believe Quartey actually won that fight.

What a brave warrior Oscar is! Last, but not least, was WBO Champion Jose Luis Lopez. What a girl. He only had a record of 36-3-2 with 30 KOs. When you look at who Oscar didn't fight, it's a pretty impressive list!


At 154:
From 2001 - 2003, Oscar moved up to this division. Who did he forget to fight? Oh, there was that punk, IBF Champion Winky Wright. Yeah, I guess Oscar never heard of him and figured his fans wouldn't want to see it? At that time, Winky's record was 46-3 with 24 KOs.

How about WBA Champion Alejandro Garcia? At the time, he was sporting a record of 24-1 with 23 KOs. How about WBO Champion Harry Simon? You know, that dude who was 23-0 with 17 KOs? Or his successor, WBO Champion Daniel Santos? 23-2-1 with 20 KOs.


Are you kidding me?


Yep.



You diehard De La Hoya fans are completely right.



Oscar NEVER DUCKED ANYONE!


What a bunch of uninformed jerks.

What a bunch of uninformed jerks.

you mean the Vacant IBF he won by fight Raul Frank..that he had for a YEAR AND A HALF before getting KTFO by Mayo? lol

[Mr. Ryan]

You do know that during that year and a half, Forrest had twice defeated then-P4P king Sugar Shane Mosley, right? You might remember Mosley as the guy who holds two victories over Oscar de la Hoya.

Then again, you might not remember that.

[Allucard]

You may be right but it is a goos exercise to sum up all wins and losses of all the people he did fight and compare that with the records of the people he did not fight. And records don't mean all that much, nowadays you need to also check who did these "good record" fighters fight too. Very often a fighter is brought up just to make a third fighter look good. And Oscar didn't have too many of those.

[Nacho_Analstain]

If this is true, Which i don't know, Then all i can say is the guys he fought were better than the guys you say he ducked on that list.

Look at his resume ...

I remember Oscar moving to junior middle in June 01 ..

ONE MONTH AFTER FORREST WINNING HIS VACANT IBF beating Raul frank

so how exactley was he ducking Forrest who didnt move to JUNIOR MIDDLE til 05??

slap yourself

[niceguy45]

when you are at the top, i want the best of the best,
that means a rank opponent with high potential of out-selling a boxing event.....
which that's what's floyd is doing, he won't fight cotto because he is not mainstream yet, the same with margarito....they are not household names

[Dirt E Gomez]

I can't tell if this post is serious or not.... it's a lot of effort to make a joking point.

There are always fights that don't happen in a fighter's career, and while I agree that fighting Forrest would've been solid... his resume, despite wins/losses, is one of the best looking ones of all time.

[Muttley85]

yep he ducked everyone, just fought pansies like Tito, Vargas, Pernell, Floyd, Hopkins, Quartey, Mosely and Julio Cesar Chavez

[jcarr71]

You, sir, are a certified ******. Unless of course this is a joke, then you're a genius. You could argue Oscar ducked Winky and Vernon Forrest, but that is it. Oscar always took the biggest fight unless it was a tune up. He would have fought Forrest had he not been stopped by Mayorga too I am sure. I doubt he would have ever fought Winky though, but let's be honest... Who really would ever care to see that fight?
