What is it about Oscar De La Hoya and slick fighters?

[BoxingFollower]

Specifically Whitaker and Floyd Mayweather...
Some people will argue that he lost to Whitaker and was robbed, and he, Canelo and some fans argue that he beat Mayweather.

Why do you think Oscars 2 biggest question marks on his record come from slick defensive fighters? Is it really that hard to fairly judge Oscar's style Vs Defensive styles?

i wouldn't call bernard slick..... and he gave dlh a pasting....

and i wouldn't call felix sturm slick.... and he man handled dlh....


bottom line.... dlh = average at best.

de la Hoya average at best? You're crazy, prime de la Hoya was a beast. People on boxingscene in this era only know Floyd and Pac, they don't remember the 80's and 90's welterweights. They were a different league all together. Prime Oscar destroys Floyd and Manny at 140-147. People remember the old, part time Oscar that lost to Floyd and Manny, but forget about the one who fought and gave problems to several ATG fighters. He didn't beat them all, but prime Oscar was never beaten convincingly by anyone. I'm not a Floyd or Pac hater, nor a huge DLH fan, but I call it how I see it. DLH was no "average at best" fighter.

I bet Canelo really felt Oscar lost against Mayweather. He's just being nice.

DLH was a slick fighter himself, by my definition. Slick does not = defensive.
