De La Hoya ruined boxing

[infamous larryx]

I prefer fighters be more like Whitaker(without the coke problem), Holyfield(without the PED issue), Felix Trinidad.

Edit: I agree with Wesley.

We didn't choose their career for them, they did.

therefore they are choosing to get the most money they can..so whats the problem???

What happened to wanting to unify a division, or to prove you are the best by fighting the best? That is why Oscar De La Hoya ruined boxing. Greedy bastards that don't give a **** about boxing fans.

People looked at all time greats like Duran, Hearns and Mike Tyson, who are now broke.

If I was a boxer I wouldn't give a **** about ''boxing fans' as the ''fans'' don't give a **** about the boxer. They'll be the first to say ''Hang up your gloves you're through'' after a couple of losses.

The problem is when you avoid the best competition.

Get your money, fine, no problem with that, but as a paying spectator, I can and will be critical of who these guys fight.

He would still have money issues because, he would still have a whole **** load of kids.

Give me a fighter who fights for glory. None of you guys are real fans I swear. And, if you're smart if you fight for glory the money comes. It all matters is if you're smart for your money or not.

Tell me one fighter who fought for legacy and glory and didn't make millions? Now what he did whit that money is not the issue. You can fight for money but be dumb as hell with your money and you can be broke. Oscar was smart was his money more power to him. But, give me a fighter who fights for legacy and glory and is smart and is smart with his money. You would have nothing to worry about for the rest of your life. And, your name will carry on even after you die.

Thats not the fault of the fans who gave them that money in the first place.

Good, so go cry somewhere for broke boxers worldwide.

I'm sure they'll appreciate it.

That's where you missed the point. If you are hand picking softies you are not really "fighting"
