Oscar de la Hoya was a beast in his prime

[puga]

yes he was, cant anybody deny that....and his loss to floyd aint really that bad coz it was just an SD while he was past his best....

Oscar was smart he was a fake right handed .he had his best left hand closer to you.best hard jab and don't futt around and forget about it he can still bring it back into the right side of your jaw,LOL....

[shawn12]

Here some logic,ok ,let agree, say Oscar was half the great fighter he was in his earlier days when he fought manny,but manny distroyed him, but Oscar still had some of his fast jab and left hook ,so say Oscar was not weight drain and was the whole package,so since he was distroyed would the fight be draw as in both even ?but even then add this manny is twice a better fighter than 3years ago.

Just because the judges gave Floyd a SD doesn't mean that's how you scored the fight. Floyd clearly won the fight by UD because he won at least 8 rounds and DLH got a few rounds because of his activity.

People need to stop saying he lost all his big fights. He beat a prime Mosley on PEDS and schooled the **** out of Tito. He was already way past his prime when he fought Floyd and Manny and the only reason why he fought them was because it was a great business decision for him and his company. He wasn't even a part time boxer when he fought them.

dlj hand picked SMALLER fighters and lost to all of them!!!! ran for his life so not to get KO'D by TITO!!!! The dude was a beast at making money, but at boxing? HE FALLS SHORT BIG TIME!!!!!

DeLaHoya would have beaten Mayweather and Pacquiao in his prime, imo.

that whole 'he lost all his big fights' thing is completely overrated. he exactly did he lose to again in his prime? Hopkins? oh yes, very embarressing.
and though he lost to Mosley, a lot of people think he deserved the win in the rematch.

Oscar was fun to watch in his prime. He gave us a lot of good fights and fought pretty much everyone worth fighting. No video blogs or cut-off dates.

Oscar is the man. An absolute warrior who would always fight the best and a terrific ambasador for the sport, he's one of the guys that initially got me into boxing.

[McFearless]

Oscar is my all time favorite.
It just sucks how he ended his career.. inactivity, different trainers every fight, then being a business man first then boxer.

But definitely a hell of a fighter
