Why is De La Hoya an ATG?

[Wiley Hyena]

I think he is the guy fought everybody he beat Trinidad and Mosley in the second fight but lost to sturm at 160. He's got a win that shouldn't be a win but he's got two losses that shouldn't be losses. He's got some solid wins on his resume he took risks to give the boxing fans the fights that we wanted to see.

Oscar is HOF. The only blemish on his record is the Hopkins bodyshot KO. The losses were hardfought and respectable. ATG is arguable. It seems just about anybody that attains PPV status these days is automatically deemed ATG. Kinda waters down the classification from its original meaning.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

He's an ATG??? News to me.

[IMDAZED]

Oscar's wins make him a Hall of Famer. His losses are the reason he's not an ATG.

[Mr. Fantastic]

DLH is an ATG. Maybe not a legend but to do those achievements that he did with a fantastic resume, only a great fighter can do.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

If Oscar is an ATG because of all the people he "fought" then so is Zab Judah.

You have to do more then just fight them.

Judah fought:

Khan
Clottey
Mayweather Jr
Matthysse
Cotto
Cory Spinks (Twice)
Corley
Kostya




oh and Danny Garcia.

These are Oscar's biggest fights in my opinion (based on the difficulty of the match-up)

(4-6-0) 1 KO, 2 KOBY

Loss 47-3-2 Manny Pacquiao TKO
Loss 37-0-0 Floyd Mayweather, Jr. SD
Loss 44-2-1 Bernard Hopkins KO
Win 20-0-0 Felix Sturm UD (very controversial)
Loss 38-2-0 Shane Mosley UD (controversial)
Win 22-1-0 Fernando Vargas TKO
Loss 34-0-0 Shane Mosley SD
Loss 35-0-0 Félix Trinidad MD (controversial)
WIN 34-0-1 Ike Quartey SD (controversial)
Win 40-1-1 Pernell Whitaker UD (controversial)

Should arguably read (in my opinion):

(4-6-0) 1 KO, 2 KOBY
Loss 47-3-2 Manny Pacquiao TKO
Loss 37-0-0 Floyd Mayweather, Jr. UD
Loss 44-2-1 Bernard Hopkins KO
Loss 20-0-0 Felix Sturm UD
Win 38-2-0 Shane Mosley UD
Win 22-1-0 Fernando Vargas TKO
Loss 34-0-0 Shane Mosley SD
Win 35-0-0 Félix Trinidad UD
WIN 34-0-1 Ike Quartey SD
Loss 40-1-1 Pernell Whitaker SD

Not knocking you just wondering how, in your opinion, a fight could be a split decision when there are 3 judges. You felt 2 judges should feel one way and not the other?

I'm guessing he's just emphasizing he feels it's a a close fight he wins.

[Randomum]

Only cash cow to openly wear fish nets and have titles in 6 divisions. Enough said.
