        #1. Because he won olympic gold.
        #2. Because he beat Julio Cesar Chavez's cry-baby ass...badly.
        #3. Because he's not "mexican enough"
        #4. Because he's handsome and his face is unmarked.
        #5. Because he chose to fight the p4p king Pacman instead of the bum name Margarito who ducks real opposition.
        #6. Because he is so successful and wealthy.

        There you go, those are the reason.

          good Post. Oscar Has Made Great Decisions With His Career, Nobody Could Deny That, Hes Richer Than We Think He Is. But Having Money Doesnt Buy You A Hall Of Fame Induction. His Last Three Fights Have Really Turned Off A Lot Of People That Truly Know About Boxing. His Fight With Mayweather, He Was 15 Pounds Overweight For That One And Still Loss Cuz Floyd Is That Good. Then He Fights Forbes, A Guy With 11 Ko's. Now He Fights Manny, A Guy Who Began At 105 Pounds.
          He Is Clearly Picking On Opponents That He Thinks He Can Bully Around The Ring, Thats Why He Avoided Margarito, That Would Be A Big Fight Too, Any Fight With De La Hoya Is A Big Event, He Could Fight The Janitor From Your School And Sell Out Madison Square Garden, Hes A Big Name Athelete.
          And What Are Oscar's Fans Gonna Be Rooting For? For Their Man To Beat Up On A Midget. The Only Exciting Thing That Could Happen Is Pacquiao Knocking De La Hoya Out, Which I Highly Doubt. Ricardo Mayorga Hit Oscar With The Best Uppercut Ive Seen In A While In The 4-5th Round, And It Didnt Even Budge Him.
          Plus Add The Millions Of Flaws Pacquaio Has A Fighter, Hes A Dream Opponent For Boxers. Mayweather Will Light Him Up If They Ever Were To Fight, Thats What Oscar Sees In Manny, An Opportunity To Revive Himself With A Highlight Knockout Win To Probably Set Up The Mayweather-de La Hoya Rematch, Which Not Too Many Wanna See Either But If Oscar Wins In Impressive Fashion On Dec.6, That Fight With Floyd Will Make Even More Money, They Will Hype It Up As "the Best Fighter In The World Returns" Or Some **** Like That, Its A Business.

          This Is The Most Ignorant S--t I've Read So Far...dumbass! Oscar Is Already A Hall Of Famer, His Resume Speaks For Itself You Dumb *****. It Don't Matter What He Does Now He Already Established Himself By Fighting Everybody In His Prime, Get Your Facts Straight You **** Wad

            what a dumbass/gayass post. most top champs make millions over the course of their careers so it has nothing to do with money or fame or any of that BS. when was the last time a chicano champ was popular in mexico? Their biggest rivals (like dlh with chavez) are often other mexicans so why would they bother rooting for a chicano when they have so many of their own champs to root for and guys like marquez, soto and diaz waiting for him at lightweight. DLH is most popular with Mexican Americans because that's the community he's actually from. He actually spends more time in PR than in Mexico...

              I hope you ain't talking about all Mexicans in general because most Mexicans like Delahoya. The proof is that whenever he fought in his hayday it would be a big event at every Mexican household in support of him. And I'm talking about households in both Mexico and the U.S. Just because 1 very famous Mex(Chavez) dislikes him doesn't mean they all do, and he probably dislikes him because he whooped his ass twice and emberrased him. Right now alot of people are just pissed at the fact that he's fighting a super featherweight who is already ****** rich instead of the man he promised he would give an opportunity to and who has patiently waited his whole career for the huge payaday that only Oscar could give him. So stop being so damn biased man.

                Theres many reasons why Mexicans don't like DLH.

                This one however, is quite telling about how DLH views himself.

                "my son is 100% Puerto Rican"

                  I agree DLH is liked by Many Mexicans and Chicanos. I saw the his last couple of fight in Guadalajara and 98% of the crowed was going for him. I think he has gained more respect (in general) as time passes by.
