I don't know what "truly" ducked means. But I can tell you that he avoided his division's top fighter up until 147.
He never fought the best at 130.
He never fought the best at 135.
He never fought the best at 140.
It took a complete backlash from fans and a whole lot **** before he finally stepped up at 147.
And he is blatantly ducking the top welters (Margarito & Williams) right now.
I'm surprised at some of you guys. Oscar De La Hoya had a rep for dodging big fights up until welter. More important than WHO is WHEN. Keep that in mind when looking at a fighter's record.Comment

He damn sure did. And avoided a rematch with Shane for years.
Not to mention refused to fight any top super welters. Before Tito ruined him, Vargas begged for a shot at Oscar. DLH said he would NEVER fight him because he disrespected him. Of course, he uses disrespect as the reason why he fought a shot to **** Chavez TWICE. But after Vargas got destroyed by Tito, knocked down and badly rocked by light hitting Wilfredo Rivera and stunned by his sparring partner, he became a good opponent all of a sudden.
For those who wonder why the Ring's Top 80 list had Tito well ahead of Oscar, you had to have been a big boxing fan to actually remember how their careers went after 147 and also what people thought of Oscar's career BEFORE 147. Some of you go on boxrec, look at it now and go "Wow! He fought them all." Not quite youngblood, not quite.Comment

Let me smash this thought before it gets out of line lol. How do you know Dlh-Pac wasn't being talked about? Second, I gave you no reasoning about Margs not being a draw as having anything to do with Dlh not fioghting him so don't lie to the boards. Third, Dlh only entertained a fight with Mora. Until anything is seriously talked about, please...don't include him. And finally, I'm a Floyd fan. Is Dlh a coward to you. You ever box. What is a coward. Is a coward a 34 year olde man who fought them all, all of a sudden a coward. Dlh apologist...lol comical.Comment
