Was Oscar De La Hoya ALWAYS overrated?????????????

[Squabbles94806]

i personally don't think so. He's accomplish a lot throughout the 90's. I never really caught on to the whole Golden Boy hype. I just thought he was a really good boxer. Nothing super extravagant or amazing to watch.

He was a gold Oplymian....his amatuer record was like 209-5...something like that. He's a nice guy, really didn't get caught up in any bull*****.

I never really hated DLH. I just knew that Pacquiao would eat him up. I told everyone that. I said, Pacquiao is really going to mess up De La Hoya.

But the thing is with Pacquiao is that he's still young and new to grow. If you noticed the fight on saturday, Pacman has truly been working on his craft.

oscar beat everybody easily until tito
imo he beat a PRIME tito 8-4 in a brilliant clinic.... but i can see up to 6-6 no way tito wins.
mosley 1 he lost - barely
mosley 2 - he won against a juicer
beat a juiced up prime vargas.
beat a prime quartey in round 12
closely won/draw/lost to sturm at middleweight
put up a good effort at least vs b-hops at middle
beat mayorga (nothing)
lost a close fight to floyd
after that he has been SHOT.
but no wasnt always overrated

Please get off BoxRec and actually watch those fights.......maybe he drew against Strum, MAYBE, but he lost the Ike fight

Yes, slightly over rated. Good fighter, not as great as some say.

dlh may have lost to every great fighter he fought, but he was still a great fighter himself... a really good fighter is like vargas, judah, etc...

dlh was competitive against great fighters but always found a way to lose....

DLH has never been decisively beaten except for pac and hopkins

biches

[El Jesus]

He always fought the best, he took on everyone he possibly could. If he was overrated, he would have been blown out by all of them. He wasnt blown out ever in his career until last saturday when he was 35

[MindBat]

Aside from his brilliant career, he was never KTFO (from a chin shot).

A testament to his tough beard (not his liver).

[Franko]

he hasnt been a fighter since the hopkins ko

He came back from the Hopkins loss to destroy Ricardo Mayorga! Plenty said that De La Hoya was past it, and Mayorga could end his career before that fight, and although Mayorga has obvious limitations it was still an excellent performance from Oscar.

I'm not going to make comparisons regarding greatness, but De La Hoya is (or perhaps was) a great fighter.

Ya I must agree with that one

Bingo!

Definitely not great by any means. So he faced alot of names, big deal.

He lost most of them. Even some of the ones he "won".

but no wasnt always overrated

add to that:

Beat undefeated Ruelas who was favored at 135
Beat 2 division undefeated m. Angel gonzalez at 140
Made undefeated Chicanito hernadez quit , 3 yrs before Floyd mayweather.



Sturm fight was a loss, but the Tito fight and Mosley rematch were firm WINS.


Oscar is not overrated by any stretch.
