Why De La Hoya is so popular??

[playaballer1]

because he was a great boxer simple as dat.

[Wiley Hyena]

Because he won a gold medal and he have fought, the best fighters from 130 to 160 since he came into boxing, he have not refused to fight anyone.Everytime he steped up to a division he has fought the toughest available fighter in that division. Plus the guy is a good bussinnes man and knows how to be marketable!!!

B.S. Oscar skipped Kostya Tszyu at 140.....pure and simple.

[The Surgeon]

He's handsome, charismatic and intelligent.
He won a Gold medal at the Olympics and has had his entire career on tv, Fans have watched him win them the gold then grow all the way through his career.
He's a great fighter, has been in with plenty other greats and has fought many exciting fights.

Thats why i think.

No one told Tszyu to lose. Not Oscar's fault.
