Oscar De La Hoyas excuses

[Dorian]

He beat Vargas and that was a very hyped/ mega fight.

Yea, but we all know Floyd doesn't make excuses.

Thats why for Floyds entire career, fans have been killing eachother in droves just to get a ticket to see him massacre someone.

im tryin to convince just ONE from those droves to help pitch in for the JMM fight...no luck yet...i think imma be a one man drove for this one EGN

Vargas did make the Olympic team btw.

De La Hoya did some cherry picking but he did fight the names people wanted to see him fight against. He never gave Pernell a rematch though.

He did lose the majority of his big fights tho...

Well that's not entirely true. Ike, Chavez, Whitaker, John John Molina, Ruelas, Vargas, Sturm, Tito (robed) Mosley II (robed) Those are DLH greatest wins.

Sturm, Molina, Chavez, and Ruelas aint BIG fights...he gave away the Trinidad fight...

Oscar hadn't won a meaningful fight since 2002...

The fights with Chavez were big fights, whether you like it or not.

You want to talk about him being a Cherry Picker when you have to Way Bigger ones in your Sig & AV. Hopkins & Floyd.

They were pretty big at the time they were made. You're right the late DLH ****** but from 1995 to 2002 he was a beast. Well he wasn't motivated enough.

But Bernard and Floyd do it 10 times more and get away with that ****.


I actually think Oscar DID duck a Pernell rematch. Just like Pac is ducking a 3rd fight with JMM. The risk of losing was too great. I don't deny it one bit bro. But he fought him at least. What really good fighters did Floyd face above 135 that weren't washed up?? Why is it ok for Hopkins to cherry pick who he wants to fight due to his age??

I know a Prime Pernell would beat Oscar even when Oscar was at his best around 99.
