Reasons why i think Oscar is despised by some Mexicans.

[LoloChivas]

no Your Wrong The Only And Single Reason Mexicans Dont Like De La Hoya Is Cuase He Beat Chavez When He Was Past His Prime... And Thats The Only Reason.... They Hated Him Ever Since...

..... And If Your Not Mexican I Dont Expect You To Know That.

I Agree With You 100%, My Whole Family Feels The Same, From My Dad And Moms To My Brother And Sisters And Extended Family. We All Feel This Way.

Yo Daivd, you hit it on the nail.. Mexican's are typically wild looking. Oscar is too pretty for the envious Indians.

If they were smarter, tey would realize that Oscar is a MEXICAN regardless of where he was born. GENETICS not geography you ****in low IQ midgets..

Oscar Is As Mexican As Im Am, I Was Born In The Usa And Consider Myself Mexican, But That Dont Mean Just Cus Hes Mexican I Have To Like Him.

Waving the Mexican flag, trying to represent the Mexican people,.....then going off and fighting "THE" mexican boxing icon......

he is a non-Native to Mexicans......only Chicanos who dont know the difference between "Mexicans" and "Mexican-Americans" are the only ones who like him.

its that simple.

[The_One77]

I agree sort of, i think its abit of both....Jealously of the fact that they cant relate to him (goodlooking, english spoken, sociable etc) and he beat Chavez.

If he never fought Chavez there would still be some resentment

Im mexican and good looking ask your mom

Wait a minute, so he was not supposed to fight a mexican fighter? or only Chavez?
How many mexican fighters fought Chavez? You Fail!!


Tell me when Chavez had a gun pointed at his head to fight Oscar. Chavez took the fight and lost, took the rematch and quit. People have it backwards, they should be mad at the loser not the winner. What next , hatred for randall , Wise,Wiley and Tszyu and whitaker?

He speaks English

He is smart

He is good looking

He fought for the U.S...........even if he wanted to fight for Mexico, they would tell him to **** off cause he aint a "real" Mexican.

He uses his boxing skills instead of fighting face first

He is successful

He is ****** rich

He beat and made Mexico's standard of heart and will quit( Chavez).



For all those out there that say he is a sell out or is acting white, check this out.

Name another athlete from either mexico or the U.S of mexican blood taht has put up their own money to build a school and a hospital taht will serve mostly mexicans and mexican americans.................... oh i get it , he's a sell out and aint a real mexican, Gotcha!!!!!

Pretty much spot on.

ahahhaha the ignorance never ceases

ok while you did say some I do feel I should reply as to why I dont dig him anymore

He speaks English

so does Vargas, David Diaz, Juan Diaz, Julio Diaz, Rocky Juarez etc and I dont hate any of them

He is smart

thats debatable but I dont hate smart fighters like Hopkins Mayweather the Klitschkos etc

He is good looking

Looks dont play into my boxing equation or else Nicolai Valuev would be my favorite

He fought for the U.S...........even if he wanted to fight for Mexico, they would tell him to **** off cause he aint a "real" Mexican.

so did a lot of the above I mentioned in the first quote

He uses his boxing skills instead of fighting face first

so has for the most part Barrera and JMM and they are two of my favorites

He is successful

no doubt but again so are a lot of fighters in their own aspects

He is ****** rich

money doesnt play into my boxing equations

He beat and made Mexico's standard of heart and will quit( Chavez).

surprisingly I was never a Chavez fan and actually rooted against him a lot. I was in houses full of Mexicans rooting for Pea and Meldrick, screamed for joy when the Surgeon dropped him and really was indifferent when DLH mopped him up

well it may not be on the level of DLH because DLH 1. is richer 2. has a lot of corporate sponsers assisting his business ventures but El Feroz does quite a bit for his own community as well

to me DLH was a beast and a favorite of mine from 130-140. I loved the story of doing it for his mom in 92. I dug he looked like a warrior in beating guys like Chicanito, Rafa Ruelas, JJL, et al. I didnt mind he was brash and ****y and combined all the elements of a mega star because he could back it up

then he got to 147 and kind of changed. Gone was the fierce left hook. Gone was the influence of his predessecors (sp). It became more about the brand Oscar De La Hoya rather than the fighter. He changed trainers more than he changed undies, he was more show than substance. Didn't he say he wanted to fight like a black fighter then also say that blacks couldnt take it to the body.

to me he bought into what the masses were saying and it showed and to be honest soured the community where he grew up.

but the bulk of my questioning him and the contradiction he has become comes more towards when he became part time fighter full time promoter

from a promotional end he has done little to change the sport. He doesn't develope his own talent. Really other than Mares who can you say has been a homegrown GBP talent? Ponce? Hell thats Joe Hernandez and him saying "**** you GBP own up to your end" than GBP actually caring. Ask those in his stable and a lot of them (off record) will say once you go to GBP you might as well promote yourself.

as a part time fighter he has now fought:

1. a chain smoking wild man more known for his antics than being a fighter
2. the p4p best but only did it by making him move to 154 and with I do believe 10oz gloves
3. a former 130lb fighter forcing him to go to 150 to do it
4. and now the p4p #1 who has only had one fight at 135....two divisions from where they are supppsed to fight at (if DLH even makes 147)

this to me is a sham and a smokescreen. he is the lil dude behind the wizard trying to get people to believe the lie. He said his final three fights were to be with the best yet he has now fought two former junior lightweights and who knows who will be his last fight.

dude has become more media than fighter and its a shame because to be honest had he been more serious about his post 140 career rather than chasing "The Mega Event" then we would be talking more about his all time status rather than why he is fighting a Lightweight one fight removed from being a 130ln champ.

good post.

De La Hoya is a good role model, i dont really like the way he acts some times, he seems politically correct. But regardless everything you said seems true to me.
