Luis Ramon Campas (80-5)
Felix Sturm (20-0)
Ricardo Mayorga (27-5-1)
To me that is a pretty good resume. People seem to forget his wins over the likes of unbeaten Genaro Hernandez, unbeaten Miguel Angel Gonzalez, and Rafael Ruelas. All very underrated wins.
His wins over Whitaker, and Quartey were extremely close fights that could of wait either way. But still two very good wins over world class oppostion.
His wins over Leija, Carr, Castillejo, are all good and solid wins. Going into into the De La Hoya fight Leija was a good fighter who had wins over Azumah Nelson, and Louie Espinoza, and had never been stopped.
Carr's two losses had come against Trinidad and a MD loss to Ike Quartey. And Carr had some sound wins heading into the De La Hoya fight.
After De La Hoya defeated Castillejo, Castillejo would go on to defat the unbeaten Roman Karmazin and win the WBA 160 title stopping Felix Sturm.
His wins over Chavez don't mean a huge deal, and his win over Strum isn't real to great due to the fact that he shound't of been given the decision.
Hector Camacho may have seen better days, but he hadnt tasted defeat in 3 years, and had wins over some good contenders and faded ATG's.
But I really do feel he should of got decisions against Trinidad and Mosely in the second fight. Two wins that would add huge bulk to his resume.
His wins over Vargas is impressive also, do the Trinidad fight had taken alot out of Vargas, he was till a very capable fighter.
In De La Hoya's resume he beat alot of very underrated unbeaten fighters, ATG fighters, solid vetrans and numerous world champions.It's pretty easy to downgrade a fighters legacy, as it can be do with any fighter.
But De La Hoya deserves much more credit and in my view is a ATG fighter.

He fought virtually all the best of his era, his resume is a who's who of this era.
He is one of the greatest welterweights and light middleweights ever. I just hate it when some ignorant arseholes say "he didn't beat Whitaker, he didn't beat Quartey". He beat them and HOW! So shut your ignorant/racist traps! And he beat Trinidad as well. And Mosley, the second time. I long held a grudge against Mosley for not only getting that decision but claiming that he won clearly. He's still not one of my favorite fighters.
