Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Snubbed By The Ring, Which He Owns

[Clegg]

Michael Spinks and Floyd Patterson are two others worthy of consideration. It seems like an oversight that neither of them are even among the 'honourable mentions' in the article. Spinks in particular seems like a top 10 pick, a gold medal, one of the greatest LHWs of all time plus he was the first man to beat Larry Holmes (winning the HW title in the process).

I personally can't think of anyone who I would take off that list to put De La Hoya on.

My biggest issue is that Miguel Cotto didn't even make the honourable mention list?!!!

Miguel Cotto? I draw the line there lol.

Well... At least in comparison. Can't hate on his recent payday thats for sure

Did Miguel Cotto even go to the Olympics?

"made over 300 million" ........ damn i had no idea he had that much money

Wlad? over Oscar?

My thoughts exactly. Wlad's success as a professional is owed by and large to the dreadful state of the HW class in his era. This fact is always lost on Klitschko fans and many boxing 'experts.' Not having ODLH on that list is pretty silly. By pretty much any standard of success, Oscar not only belongs on the list, but he belongs near the top of it.

DLH is not taken seriously anymore. The drugs, cross dressing photos...his career is seen more for his losses than wins. Smh...

[Mister Wolf]

Wlad doesn't deserve to be in there over Oscar.

where tarver on that list, atleast hon mentions.
