Late 90's De La Hoya was a BEAST!!!

[Deja_Vous]

Late 90's DLH would have beat Pac and Mayweather. I still think it's a shame they robbed him in the Tito fight.

90's oscar was one-handed and didn't have the head-movement to beat Floyd.

Floyd would take away his left-hook and the rest would be downhill for Oscar.

Nobody robbed him, he robbed himself.

I second this statement, and would like to add that The Golden Boy went life and death with Ike Quartey???? And that makes him a beast, you truly are blind to the hype job Bob Arum throws you. Ike was a good fighter and nothing more, a C level fighter at best. His fight with Quartey is famous because he fought back and didn't give in but it would be the equivalent to Cotto going to war with Mickey Ward. We would question how good Cotto is instead of saying he's a beast. Quartey is only famous for having a cool nickname and damn near destroying the facade Aum built up about Oscar.

Quartey was undefeated at the time and was a feared fighter, and proved himself in that fight, as DLH didnt think he'd be that good IMO. But mickey ward and him in comparison?! cmon! Quartey was a real good amateur too.

DLH shouldve stayed at 140 for a while ...may have been his best weight as he had the speed and power there. But credit for mixing it up and making the welter division exciting at the time..whitaker quartey and trinidad all got match ups , he fought the best.
