I think the the Hopkins fight diminished his legacy in my eyes. He was clearly winning the fight. The way he went down grimacing in pain was unbecoming of a true champion. I think De la Hoya did a heck of a lot for the sport but when you put his record against some of the all time greats and some of the current greats you'll see it was special enough but not spectacular.
What is your favorite Oscar De La Hoya fight?

Not much you can do when you get hit in the liver by a much bigger man. I give Oscar props for even fighting B-Hop.I think the the Hopkins fight diminished his legacy in my eyes.

You ever been hit with a monsterous left hook to the liver by someone 2 weight classes above you?I think the the Hopkins fight diminished his legacy in my eyes. He was clearly winning the fight.

Yea, I didn't think so...It didn't diminish ****. You cannot take any of the great wins from DLH because he got KO'd by one of the greatest MW of all time.
For me DLH's best fight was the Ike Quartey fight, just an action packed fight and I still don't know how Quartey stood up in that last round.Comment

Meh...He was a million years old. Im a fan of both. I probably actually like Antonio more, but even an old Oscar would have beat up Tony.
Even if Tony had cement gloves he would have beat him.
I don't like seeing old legends getting beatdown vs. yound lions like Manny. That was actually pretty sad.Comment
