Was Oscar De La Hoya overrated?

[Boxingking1511]

Very underrated is what he actually is.

This post meant to slight him and play down his HOF resume by calling quality wins "old" and by ignoring the fact that his losses weren't blowouts and were competitive and against ATGs, is proof that even today, over 10 years later, haters still want to smear ODLH because it kills them that up until Fury, boxing has never had such a natural star and face of the sport.

Hilarious stuff really. Living in haters heads rent free.

Comparing Oscar De La Hoya to a bum basher like Fury lmao.....

ODLH was a great fighter.

Sadly his female side took over after Pac ruined him.

Now he is adrift in a sea of self loathing and sexual deviance.

******* is a hell of a drug...

Hahah lmao why so mad?

Not mad, just having some fun.

Oscar is ATG

I dont think he is addicted anymore?

I would argue he’s now underrated. He was a throwback fighter who never ducked a challenge and was one of the first non heavyweight PPV stars. He paved the way for guys like Pacquiao and Mayweather.
Clown older DLH all you want but he’s had ass most men only dreamed about. When you’ve had model chicks throwing themselves at you your whole adult life it gets boring and you need some freaky ish to get off.

Hell no he wasn’t overrated. Multiple champion in different weight classes, Olympic gold medalist, robbed against Mosley, Trinidad, and you can make an argument he won against Floyd he’s an ATG imo.

He was underatted in my opinion. He fought everyone in his prime. Let's tell it like it is. Beat every opponent he fought in his prime. Close loss to roided Mosely in the first fight, but highly competitive and nothing bad happened to him. He clearly clearly won the rematch. Undoubtedly beat plaster Tito. Beat Quartey. Great fight with Quartey, Quartey did well but Quartey lost and was never the same fighter again. Oscar had a great jab great left hook great beard and was fast. All his fights were great. He was too big and tall for a Chavez and would have beaten him at any point of his career.

The Manny loss was embarrassing but he was drained and washed up
Did well against Hopkins but was in no way a Middleweight. Kudos to have the nads to fight a guy who starved his Light heavy body to be a Middleweight.

Past his prime his jab gave Floyd problems and he did well against one of the best ever, probably the guy who did the best against Floyd and he was past his prime.

Had in my opinion a draw against Whitaker, a better defensive fighter than Floyd. Nothing to be ashamed of there.

Oscar is an ATG without a doubt. There are no fighters who put on the best fights every damn time and fight anyone and everyone! He was the last

[Dean_Razorback]

no, prime oscar would beat all the current top WW and SWW

[Shadoww702]

Trinidad only won three rounds and was a bloody mess. His white shorts were blood red.

Mosley was a clear robbery.

Floyd he had beat but let off the gas. Clearly argue either way.

Thats three HOFamers right there.

Pac was the only beating he took and that was because he needed a hospital bed after staring in The Walking Dead.

I didn't even include HOFamer Chavez.
And Gatti is in but more so for other things than boxing.

Someone did a line of salt before starting this forum.

Nah Oscar fought EVERYONE. He’s a great, great fighter. Whitaker, Chavez, Mayweather, Pacquiao, Hopkins, Mosley, Trinidad, Quartey etc.

This.

In hindsight, he's even greater than I remembered him because of the fact that he was willing to fight any & everybody. No marinating or running for years or catchweights.

He basically fought everybody he could've fought from 130-160, which is a hell of a career.

He fought Whittaker, Mayweather, Pacquaio, & Hopkins when they were arguably P4P king.

He fought the 2 best fighters of their generation Mayweather & Pacquaio when he was past his prime. He didnt have to do that.

Guy's a legend
