    IMO Oscar beat Trinidad and Mosley once and lost to Sturm.

    Oscar resume speaks for itself though and his pure boxing skill was the best in the game for about a decade.

        Oscar i think was one of the most accomplished boxers of not just the last ten years but perhaps all time. I think his skills in his prime were top class, and he had a heart and brain to complement those skills. I think De La Hoya was p4p one of the best ever. But just my opinion.

          vs Mosley twice
          vs Trinidad

          but i respect him he was good for the sport
          The Mosley fights were close, and Shane was probably roided up at the time as well.

          The fact that he even fought all those guys when he could have just fought lesser opponents and still cashed in shows you what type of boxer he was .

          Do you think Mayweather has the balls to go and fight someone who outweighs him as much as Bernard did vs DLH?

          The Pacqiaou loss was a blowout but I think it was clear from Oscar's previous fight against Forbes that he was not the same fighter he was even a couple a years ago.

            Oscar Beat The Following:

            Jeff Mayweather
            Julio Cesar Chavez
            Pernell Whitaker
            Arturo Gatti
            Fernando Vargas
            Ricardo Mayorga
            Felix Strum

            Check the avatar haha im a huge De La Hoya fan bro and I always think this too man seems like alot of people dont respect him just because he is a soft spoken good guy and not a scum bag/cheater like most of the "best" fighters today

              lost all his big fights.

              popular fighter, but not underrated p4p.

                Im a big Shane fan obviously and of course a fan of Oscar aswell and I totally agree with you here. His record in the ring speaks for itself and his resume has strength in depth!
                Although not related to his P4P status, the haters have got to remember that Oscar dragged the sport back into the mainstream after the post Tyson depression so to speak.

                    Delahoya has mad glory, but his skills never got better, only worse as time went on. He's been a scrub since the Felix Sturm fight. So if anything, he's overrated.

                      People on NSB hate on Oscar and GBP too much and I think they make the sport exciting and unlike Top Rank they don't treat their fighters like circus animals, but atheletes...
