    Trinidad vs De La Hoya was a let down

    Oscar is always criticizing Floyd vs Pacquiao as being disappointing and hurting the sport because so many people tuned in and were let down.

    But when De La Hoya had his superfight with Tito he dropped the ball himself. It was supposed to be a war between all-time greats and a chance for boxing to make a big splash, but instead millions of fans were left with a bad taste in their mouth that night.

    Kind of an interesting parallel.

        Not to mention two super elites at there most prime and oscarnto the smart road and hit the track running. The most let down I had to witness in boxing. I still haven't forgiven Oscar.

          And yet this mexican coward still put on a boxing lesson on one of Puerto Rico greatest. Shame!

            I retroactively blame Al Haymon.

              At the time this fight was the most watched PPV ever for non-heavyweights. And it turned out to be a stinker.

                    While May-Pac ******, I have to agree. DLH really blew it in the last three rounds. He didn't just lose the fight. He screwed the fans. My friends were asleep at the end. Could have been great but fell very short.
