    No but he is a legit middleweight isn't he? He was a two-time champ at the time Tito fought him, wasn't he? And yet Tito dropped him a billion times (sometimes dropping him twice off ONE punch) yet neither Hops NOR Jermain Taylor a million years later could do that. But Tito wasn't a real middle. Sure. Even though in his next fight after Hops he KO'ed another former middleweight champ in four quick rounds.

    Sure.

      Oscar De La Hoya can make any fight he wants. So what does he do? Fight Steve Forbes.

      Antonio Margarito? Nah.

      A featherweight? Yes, YES!

      I'd forgive him if it wasn't a pattern we've seen throughout his career.

        Ok Mr Wise Business man(since that's part of boxing). Which other fight would make more $$$$$$ than Oscar vs Pac?? Aside from Hatton.

          I'm not here to discuss what makes sense for Oscar's portfolio. I'm debating whether he's an ATG.

                I don't have to answer questions that you try to handicap so you can avoid the TRUTH.

                Felix Trinidad was considered the best fighter in the world and a HEAVY favorite over Bernard Hopkins. He was also in his prime and GREAT. Oh, and he was also the WBA middleweight champ of the world.

                Are we done here?

                  No you don't answer cause you know the truth behind it. You bypass questions but yet expect me to answer yours??

                    Considering he's lost like 75% of all his big fights. I wouldn't say so. But yes to HOFer.

                      I answered. The truth just hurts. Don't feel bad, Oscar will always have his fans. Most of them wear high heels like you .

                      Just messin with you on the last line but had to throw that in there! LOL. It is what it is. We can agree to disagree.
