Wow... DLH's amateur record.

[niceguy45]

yea, besides the coke, hookers, and cross dressing he was a real class act

mike tyson is and was a mess in his prime and after he retired as well, but have to respect the man's ability to fight and respect the sport....Mike Tyson was a beast and so was DLH

De la Hoya would have been a champion in any era, for some reason i feel he has become seen as a little overrated. The losses to Mosely (2nd fight) and Trinidad were suspect at the least. Despite having tens of millions in the bank and being a multi millionaire from a very young age he kept a proffesional work ethic and dedication right to the end.
My only criticism is that he could have been a little more relaxed in the ring, a little more loose.
Of the few amateur fights of his that i have seen he was on another level and looked massively powerful despite boxing at feather/super feather
