I lost my respect for him since he is always butting in to Pacquiao and Mayweather's business. He always has a say to everything where he shouldn't be involved. He is done. Pacquiao and Mayweather beat him already so he should just keep his mouth shut.

Not to mention that he is a user.

Im a DLH fan and I was a fan when he fought but his prime ended before the Mayorga fight and even in trashing Mayorga you could tell that he wasnt the same guy physically who fought Hopkins.

I can care less about those pics or anything like that. They are gay as hell and I laughed my ass off when I saw them.

My brother is a BIG De la hoya fan..... and I tease him about the pics but in reality he doesn't care either.

Most people are insecure and do care though

I just uploaded a picture as my avatar of De La Hoya and it hit me, I haven't seen ONE member with a DLH avatar. How come? I guess he's not that popular in Boxingscene but we all know he's one of the most popular fighters ever. Or should say was.

On a side note, is it just me or does it say "BUM" on his trunks.

Jrosales13 was a big fan, same as you..

I am a fan of his because I thought he was a great fighter in his prime. Sure he had some flaws......no right hand, couldnt adjust mentally, and once panic set in he got this worried look on his face that manifested into how he performed in the ring but overall the guy was a bad ass fighter with a great skill set, an iron chin, and a deadly left hook and he has arguably the best resume of the past 15 years. He fought damn near everybody.

But Im also a realist and an honest boxing fan. Oscar was great but hes not the greatest welter ever or the best boxer ever or anything close to that but he was pretty damn good.

Thats funny about teasing your bro. We clown around and make fun of those pics all the time in my family. My whole family is big into boxing. From me who is the diehard to my Dad, uncles, aunts, cousins, even my white girlfriend who didnt know **** about boxing when she met me, can name and recognize all kinds of boxers now and is a huge fan of many boxers. Whats funny is that we all laugh at those pics and think its fruity as ****.

I'm a big DLH fan. Everyone was when I was growing up. Dude had great skills, a solid chin, and fought everyone. Whats not to like?

But much like Roy Jones, he gets no respect because most of the posters here just got into boxing within the last five-or-so years, and weren't following the sport to witness him in his prime.

Their loss, DLH was a helluva fighter.
