Oscar De La Hoya Ducked Plenty Of Fighters In His Prime

http://www.sptimes.com/2005/07/26/Sports/Wright_vs_Mayweather_.shtml

 

Oscar is known for his great resumes so don't know what the fxxk you're talking about.

 

Forrest demolished the guy who owned Oscar twice...

 

DLH embarrassed the guy who owned and KTFO Forrest lol

 

Losing isnt ducking though
Also you must forget that De La Hoya beat Quartey, Hernandez, Gonzalez, Chavez, Sturm, Ruelas, Whitaker to name just a few and that is a disservice to some of the other very good fighters not mentioned that Oscar beat, and some felt he was unlucky against Mosely, Mayweather, Trinidad

In fact that isnt even all the names on his resume so your thread looks a bit like trolling, not to mention you had most of your details about who Oscar didnt fight at times when they were not in the same division. Almost as poor as your Calzaghe thread where you had so much wrong

 

De La Hoya was one of those fighters who always looked to fight the best in the division he was in. Even his 2 fights at MW were against top MWs in Sturm and Hopkins

 

The Quartey fight wasn't close and was a robbery? What the hell fight were you watching. The first 1/3 of the fight ike was one punch at a time (jab) countered with oscar's own jab but also hooks, uppercuts and nice combination punching. One could easily make an argument oscar won the first 5 rounds straight. Oscar was constantly a step out of ike's range, ike would lunge in a little too much and oscar would counter him. Ike won the 10-9 round when both traded KD's and had some momentum going for a couple rounds where Oscar seemed tentative but by the championship rounds, Ike once again was reduced to just a jab. While Ike has a great jab, Oscar's was almost the equal but I will take power punches over jabs any day of the week and oscar was landing up and downstairs.
And finally the only 10-8 round of the fight belonged to Oscar in the 12th, which was a demolition until oscar punched himself out and both men didn't do much after that but the damage was already done. Ike was not nearly ahead enough to lose the most important round of the fight in that fashion. I had Ike up 1 point going into that round.
If you look at the punch stats, oscar landed more overall punches and more power punches, and put quartey down on his ass more. Gee, what a robbery lol.

And now the Mosley vs Oscar first fight wasn't competitive? Ok I'm gonna stop. You can't rationale with the insane. :roll:

 

So he missed some 3 names?
How about the fact that he fought: Hopkins, Manny, Floyd, Whitaker, Chavez, Quartey, Trinidad, Mosley, Vargas?

 

Tito didn't tap that ass. DLH outboxed and exposed Trinidad.

 

There's a huge difference between ducking, and the fights not having taken place due to circumstances.

There is gaps on EVERY fighters resume. Even Ray Robinson who fought 200 fights.

You can't satisfy everyone.

 

Change the title, because Felix Trinidad snuffed the prime out of DLH

DLH Prime was 1995-1999, at those days DLH was willing to face anybody & he was beating everybody.

Winky Drake is a big 154 armoured turtle that can jab, how can DLH who started at 130 beat him :think

Change the title, just to be accurate remove the word prime :smoke

 

Tito was out boxed, but he defeated DLH psychologically in the last rounds DLH didn't understand that the boxing fans wanted the 20th century Welterweight war. Tito knew what was going on & kept on coming with enough success in the final RDs to award him the W.

That defeat ended DLH psychologically, he became a singer...etc, after that were gallant flurries here & there...but no longer in his prime

 

Even McGuigan accepts Nelson was far better than him and his handlers studiously avoided Nelson.

 

Lol. I wonder if Winky still feels insulted at that offer.
