Mexicans whether they be American or not have never really embraced Oscar as there own. They say Chavez never quit and the little respect they had for Oscar has vanished with his last outing with Manny (because he quit). So how will Mexicans view him down the road when they look back on his entire career? Thanks brown brothers.

How will Mexicans view Oscar when it is all said and done?

I talk to this female mexican on a chatroom the other day(right after the fight), and she stopped talking to me when I told her that Oscar got his ass kicked by Manny Pacquiao, she said that she is an Oscar fan... And she was pissed that I was happy that manny won...
I don't think they're taking this loss so well... But I can't speak for all Mexican-American/Oscar fans.

**** all this **** about ethnicity. Marg and DLH haters are always bitchin that they ain't really Mexican and all that, but does it really ****in matter? DLH will still be remembered as a great fighter, but he lost a ton of respect for pickin a fight wit Pac over any real WW, and made it worse by losin. His 'Mexican-ness' or lack of it is meaningless imo.

Roach and Pac wanted Delahoya. They chose the money fight. So don't get it twisted.

If DLH was for real, he would have lined up a fight with Margarito for the Welterweight title. But, oh no Margarito wasn't a big enough name for him.
Oscar could have and should have laughed of Roach's comments, but DLH used them as a lame excuse for fighting a much smaller guy, whom he was pretty certain he could beat. But that back fired on him and he now looks like a *****.

DLH"s loss is still obviously fresh in peoples minds but it's happened to some of the best boxers as they've reached the end of their careers just like it happened to Chavez at the hands of de la hoya. He's accomplished alot in the sport and I think he will be remembered positively in the long run. As far as Mexican fans are concerned, well I cant think of many chicano boxers that have been fully embraced as their own because they have so many Mexican born champs to root for so I dont know why people are so obsessed with the topic.Last edited by Caxcan; 12-08-2008, 12:16 AM.
