Not really, the Mexican fans back then actually hated him but jumped on his back because the Rican/Mex rivalry against Tito. He really ****ed up the last rounds in that fight though, the people that hated him loved it because they always thought he was a pretty boy *****. The people that backed him for the fight really felt like he pussed out and didn't fight like a Mexican but in the end they all paid. That's the reason he was always a big box office hit, love him or hate him they all paid to watch.
Yeah i remember being the only one in my fam rooting for Tito boy was everyone talking **** to me, especially because i was a little kid. But after the half of them hated oscar. We never had a problem with him beating chavez. That's like hated mab for beating erik
I thought it was because his dad was mexican and he didn't like his dad or his dad left him
That too.
I think in the Latin legends Duran also talks about how after he quit against Leonard all the Panamanian people turned their backs on him but then he beats Barkley and they do a parade for him. He said in the back of his mind he was thinking "these ****ing hypocrites"
Regardless of what the Mexico constitution says I always had the impression that Mexicans always kind of rejected American born mexicans to represent them.. They hated Oscar for beating JCC and I remember watching the Vargas DLH fight and mexicans were cheering for Vargas.. Totally understandable though...
No they hated Oscar for disrespecting JCC he smacked his hand down when JCC tried to give him a pound.

That's ok JCC was famous for that. In an interview he said he respects no man he ever fought. I remember when JCC refused to touch gloves with Haugan in their title fight and the ref was pissed.
