15 yrs from now, what will you tell your children about OSCAR DELAHOYA?

[-Swizzy-]

One of the best fighters of his generation who had tremendous skills and wasn't afraid to step into the ring with anyone. He fought the best of the best at ever stage of his career and never thought twice of accepting a big challenge. He has the best names on his resume of any fighter and he never lost to a fighter that wasn't atleast considered to be one of the best in the world.

DLH is quite simply, an ATG.

the guy who put boxing in the stardoom!!!!!

That he was a very good fighter who loved to make the best fights happen, while making as much money as possible. He got a few gifts, but he was robbed a few times as well. He never settled into a groove with a trainer at the top which might explain some of the losses, but he still managed to have a hall of fame career and win a world title. Has one of the best resumes of modern boxers, including; Pernell Whitaker, Arturo Gatti, Jesse James Leija, Miguel Angel Gonzalez, Julio Cesar Chavez, Shane Mosley, Felix Trinidad, Bernard Hopkins, Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao to name some.

That he was the ultimate media hype-job.

[MANGLER]

Last yr he made me sick. I still respect his past accomplishments, but I don't like him enuf anymore that I'd say anything to my kid about him.

[RL_GMA]

That he was the ultimate media hype-job.

How can you say he was a hype job? Win or lose, he still fought the best guys. At the end of the day that's all you can ask from a fighter.

[boxer12]

that he ducked calzaghe.

yep. i'll also tell my children that there's an Easter Bunny and Santa Clause

[FloydsEra]

He lost almost every big fight he was in and would have lost to PBF on his best day.
