How high do you rate Oscar de la Hoya? a lot people say he lost most of his big fights but some of them many people argue he deserved to win(Trinidad, Mosley 2) and if there's someone who fought everyone availabe it was him, so high high would you guys rate him?
It shows you that weight jumping is highly overrated nowadays. It's more impressive to dominate one division and be an ATG there, in my opinion.
Biased BS. Some of his peers are considered sure fire ATG's based on what they accomplished and DLH accomplished more in some cases.
ATG, top 30. Accomplishments: 10 time world champion 25 Titles fights won 6 division champion Cleaned the 147 division in 2 years. Unified 154 division. Moved up in weight and dethroned WBC Jr. WW champion Moved up in weight and dethroned WBC WW champion Moved up in weight and dethroned WBC Jr. MW champion Fought and beat these champs: Jorge Paez John John Molina Rafael Ruelas Jesse James Leija Genaro Hernandez Miguel Angel Gonzalez Julio Cesar Chavez Pernell Whitaker Hector Camacho Ike Quartey Tito Trinidad Shane Mosley Arturo Gatti Ramon Campas Javier Castillejo Fernando Vargas Ricardo Mayorga If he's not an ATG then who the **** is today?
Weight-class jumping is overrated, but in Oscar's case, at: 135 he beat Jorge Paez, John John Molina, Rafael Ruelas, Genaro Hernandez, Jesse James Leija...Legit Lightweight Champion. 140 he beat Julio Cesar Chavez, and Miguel Angel Gonzalez...Also legit Jr. WW champion. 147 he beat Pernell Whitaker, Ike Quartey, Tito Trinidad, Hector Camacho, Julio Cesar Chavez, Oba Carr, Arturo Gatti...Also Legit Welter Weight Champion. 154 he moved up and beat Javier Castillejo, Yori Boy Campas, Fernando Vargas, Shane Mosley...unified the division...Legit Jr. MW champion. That is weight humping at its finest...Not like having one stupid fight against a titlist who probably doesn't deserve to hold the strap and then skipping town...like other fighter(s) have done.
