How Great Was Oscar De La Hoya?

[JJRod]

Dude was a real talent. Unfortunately never won the biggest fights of his career but he truly was robbed against Trinidad and the 2nd Mosley fight should have been his.

There were always rumors about him not taking training camps seriously and the fact that he would only fight once a year towards the end there, I believe affected him.

Still though one of the great one's.

Always exciting to watch ever since he won gold in the Olympics. He kicked Vargas' ass.
Got schooled by ma boy Floyd.

But other than wearing fishnets and doing coke, the man deserves high accolades.

He'll always be the Golden Boy. You gotta let some **** slide.

Dam good. He fought all the tough challenges and even when he came up short he gave a good effort. I have a great deal of respect for Oscar and his achievements in the ring.








He shouldn't have run from Tito though...

And he should have left that venison meat alone. Pac beat the deer shIt out of him.

He wasn't schooled, it was a close fight. If anyone schooled him it was Pacquiao who he didn't win a round against. However, both guys fought a past prime DLH.

Props to Oscar being a so called pretty boy dis guy fought everybody when he didnt have to......wish Floyd had the same fighter mentality.....

AND oscar had no bizness fighting at 147 that late in his career but a loss is a loss....nothing but respect....one of my fav. cokeheads

Always been a bit of a De La Hoya fan. I've always felt he was better than the boxing public have you believe. I hold him higher than guys that got wins against him in his prime like Trinidad or Mosley.
Anyway what are your opinions?

We'll in my eyes he beat Trinadad and Mosley,he should have retired after the Mayorga win those losses to Mayweather and Pacquiao hurt him in becoming an all time great in my eyes
