Comments Thread For: De La Hoya To Mayweather: Let's Bury The Hatchet!

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

All kings have their times, kingdoms, queens and power. They sit regally upon their thrones dispensing dictates and royal diatribes. They linger in opulence and sometimes in tyranny. But all kings, all of them eventually fall. One doesn't have to be an expert on body language and appearance to know that Oscar De La Hoya is "hurting" like a mother****a. The look of desperation in his eyes, the recent embarrassments aka the Rousey debacle and never having a "blueprint" leave him looking like he wants to find a backdoor. I bet you if you sit him in an empty room by himself for 20 minutes he'd start getting "dope sick."

But even in magnificent destruction Oscar can't look totally bad, he's the "Golden Boy," and for better or worse that title has allowed him to not just get wealthy but to elevate a sport that ultimately sucks the life out of its current and former champions. The writing was on the wall when he lost his heat shield in Richard Schaefer. Although we don't know the particulars of their disagreements and split, we're seeing more now of the king without his royal vestments. We're seeing an Oscar that's desperate and reaching for a way to boost his company and he attempted to do it on the back of a former opponent.

Sometimes fame creates personal demons and other times it nurtures those dwelling just beneath the surface. Fame provides the dry kindling for self-destruction and continues to provide a vast array of cautionary tales, disasters and misplaced Greek tragedies. Behind the golden sheen is a type of rot, and I'm afraid we're all witness to it most times this guy appears in the media. I hope he gets a win of some kind soon, for his sake....

I agree with some of your post although I wish you all would stop with the mythical golden boy bs. He's a two time rapist for god sake. Trying to portray that goldenboy image brings chronic stress which probably is a factor in his disease. Fans need to stop trying to hold him to this GoldenBoy image, he's a human sinner like everyone else.

Oscar had a split personality!

You guys keep making fun of Oscar for wearing fishnets, but most of you listen to rap, and rappers are the gayest people on earth.

lol I don't think there is a hatchet, not from Mayweather's side of things anyway. De La Hoya still mad he took that L to Floyd nearly a decade ago and that Floyd also surpassed him as far as being a PPV attraction goes, and won't let the bitterness go. I like Oscar and am no Floyd fanboy, just saying...

The title isn't mythical it was given to him because of his quest for a medal and he was the only boxer to return with gold from Barcelona during those Olympic games. That isn't mythical, that's the culmination of one's dreams and hard work. What he does with women is not my problem, although I hope he isn't abusive any further. As a fan of the sport that isn't my interest in Oscar but I'm not sure why some fans are so interested in talking about what happens outside of the ring?

Oscar getting ready for the Canelo-Mayweather 2 negotiations I suppose....

That's it, Oscar is bat**** crazy. What the hell is going on with him? Does he have multiple personalities?
