Why?..............

Oscar reminded me of a Black Olympian fighter fight bums till you get a title shot than look for the eaisest champ of every divison. Ray leonard and Mayweather took this pattern also.

And this post show just how much of an idiot you really are.I suggest you go look up the rankings of the time and look who Leonard fought before he ever got his first shot at a world title.


Wilfred Benitez was the easiest champion of the division? Ayub Kalule was the easiest champion of his division? Marvin Hagler was the easiest champion of his division?



Settle the f^ck down,lad.

Because he was an American first.

He represented Mexico when the fans got behind him and it was to his benefit, but even before the Chavez fight the Mexican fans weren't too interested in him.

Remember most Mexican and Mexican-American are poor and working class people and identify with the fighters that represent that life style. Oscar didn't just have the hollywood looks, he really enjoyed the spotlight and crossed over into the mainstream almost immediately. To Mexican fans, he wasn't "theirs" and didn't represent them anymore.

Jim Lamply said it best in that, while they still didn't consider Oscar one of them, Mexican-American fans "borrowed" Oscar to represent Mexico against PR when he faced Trinidad. He let em down bigtime.

Because Oscar was a bitch. Plain and simple. He had the chance to win over Mexico, but what did he do? He ran like the faggot he is against a Puerto Rican fighter. They were booing his sorry ass by the end of the fight.

Real Mexicans don't run, especially against Puerto Ricans. Oscar De La Hoya is a faggot.

Oscar then cherry picked another tiny fighter who he was supposed to steamroll. the fighter they call the "mexicutioner".


and he gets blasted out and quits on his stool. that was pretty much the last nail in the coffin.

Do some Mexican's feel like DLH became to Americanized and is a sell out? I remember before he fought Chavez it seemed like all the Mexicans rooted for Chavez. I've heard people like Vargas call DLH a fake Mexican. I believe Oscar fought Vargas after he was KO by Trinidad, hmmm...that sounds just like what another current boxer is doing Anyway, do some in the Mexican community feel like DLH doesn't embrace Mexican culture, if so is that the reason for the contempt?

Because they are jealous and ignorant!!!

I am a Mexican-American and I admire and respect DLH tremendously. I was so happy when he bloodied and busted-up the arrogant prick Chavez.

In many ways the Mexicans here in NSB (especially the Hispanic Lounge) feel the same way about me. They call me a "sell-out" and a "coconut" because I love my country very much and because I'm against illegal immigration.

That's because he is not a "real Mexican" he is a real American such as myself.

He does not need to win over Mexico, is country loves him very much thank you.

DLH is hated by haters because of his good looks.

Maybe that is why i admire him and respect him, because I can identify with him in many aspects.
