What the **** does fighting 2 times a year have to do with who had the better career, and who has accomplished more.

I don't know know how people can argue against this.

It's that blindedly obvious, that Oscar De La Hoya has had the better career.

I would too if I literally made no less than $5 million per fight. Why risk it? Fighting at that top level, someone could kill you. Drop the risk by fighting less and getting paid more.

but the fighting less is a tread for most fighter today...well over 3/4 of the boxers today aint getting paid jack to fight less...you risk injury in every bout...and especially if you KO someone and hardly take any shots...then a fight should be scheduled sooner...

Back in the day, fighters like Sugar Ray Robinson would fight every 2 weeks.

Oh...well....most fighters today when they start out, fight about 4 times a year. So I think we're on track.

Other than Hopkins, the hype for Oscar's bouts with Hernandez, Chavez and Ruelas were far bigger.

I thought he beat Sturm, he beat Whitaker, he beat Quartey.

I had him losing the fight to Quartey going into the final round, but in my opinion he pulled out a 10-7 round and in most the cases the ref would have stopped the fight with the way Quartey was getting ****ed up against the ropes. Oscar never gave him a rematch because Quartey wanted a ****load of money.

Sturm also had the fight won but gave it away by never attacked Oscar when he gassed or doing anything other than a jab for the last four rounds.

Whitaker also had the fight won and decided to clown around for the last three rounds, especially the final round.

De La Hoya robbed against Mosley big time in the second fight. Even he admits he lost the first time in a fight that almost won fight of the year honors.

If you watch the interview immediately following the fight, you'll notice that when he is asked about a rematch Oscar says "No, there are much bigger fights out there for me." Which indicates that he had already turned down a rematch in his own head without consulting Quartey, and it was in fact Oscar who wanted really big money...
