best fighter oscar de la hoya ever faced?

[Miburo]

Say what you will about DLH, but his resume is ridiculous (fights taken, not wins).

[Tankster]

For me the best he fought was Felix Trinidad. prime for prime

You can also put Bazooka Quartey in that list.

Bernard Hopkins...

[ursayollia]

I concur........

Bernard Hopkins...

1) Mosley
2) Quartey
3) Whitaker (was an ugly styles fight)

More important than who is when. So simple...a lot of those names weren't what they used to be when he fought them.

I'm constantly baffled by people who live through Oscar's antics yet somehow believe he was different years ago because they're impressed by the names they see on boxrec. He's always been the type to handicap other fighters--whether it was making Hopkins move down to 156, fighting Chavez at welter, or making Pac move up two divisions, etc.

The best fighter Oscar faced was Bernard Hopkins.

That's why people who don't respect DLH are complete idiots.

I think he had a great resume and these are some decisions I thought went good or bad for him;

#1 - He beat Trinidad

#2 - He beat Mosley in their second fight

#3 - He lost vs Sturm

#5 - He was up on the score cards against Hopkins until he knocked out.

#6 - His performance against Mayweather was brilliant considering he was 35 yrs old vs the best pound4pound fighter in the world.

no he wasnt..he was losing on 2 of the cards

agreed at that moment Bernard Hopkins was probably the most complete fighter in the game.

I would say the Mosley that fought in their first fight was about as good a fighter as Oscar has seen as well.

best fighter he faced???or actually won against

Yup...damn Mosley was awesome that night. He was simply...too good. I'm still amazed by that performance.

Thanks for the correction. I had it close I couldn't remember.
