Maybe manny doesn't want to be the next oscar.. Maybe manny only wants to be manny?
Has Manny passed Oscar De La Hoya's popularity?

This aint true at all. De la hoya is or was huge in America, the rest of the world he was not that big.
If you think de la hoya had a huge fan base all around the world, **** knows what you wou think David beckham had! Obviously he has nothing to do with boxing, but im trying to explain to the american fight fan that de la hoya was not as big around the world as you think. Like there is no way he was anywhere near an Ali or a tyson.Last edited by wizard king; 01-10-2010, 04:42 PM.Comment

thats because this place is loaded with filipinos. when i went to north carolina 5 weeks ago, i couldnt even hold a boxing conversation for the most part. and the one guy who had an idea who he was, was my cousin, who didint really know him by name.Comment

compare to pac, dlh is by far one the most well know fighters of recent times. pac is no where near the poplarity at the world wide level like dlh. now iam not saying dhl is super know world wide but compare to pac dhl is in another level. pac will never be as popular as dhl,tyso,lenorad or ali period.
If you asked some guy or woman on the streets of the uk who De la hoya was, they would'nt have a clue. You seem to think de la hoyas on the same level as Ali or Tyson, and he aint even close. Maybe if he won any of his big fights he could have been.Last edited by stefjonno1; 01-11-2010, 07:38 AM.Comment
