On the real though ODLH has an INSANE resume. Win or lose he fought everybody. The list of fighters he’s fought has to be respected. Julio César Chávez Pernell Whitaker Hector Camacho Ike Quartey Oba Carr Felix Trinidad Shane Mosley Arturo Gatti Fernando Vargas Yori Boy Campas Bernard Hopkins Ricardo Mayorga Floyd Mayweather Jr Manny Pacquiao
Oscar was a hell of a fighter and what a resume! He should get more respect for the Hopkins fight, Oscar was about as perfect as he could be, until the KO. De La Hoya usually gets laughed at when his MW fights are mentioned and rightfully so for that bs decision over Sturm, but the guy that fought Hopkins was in much better shape and was much sharper. THAT version of ODLH would beat any MW around today.
I hated him so much when he was fighting (that stupid smile, like Leonard's.). I hated him even more when he stopped El Feroz. I was a huge fan of El Feroz back then (and now too, actually). I spent many years saying that he was a bum, and lying to myself. He is one of the best fighters that I have ever watched fighting live. It's a pity I didnt appreciate his boxing until very recently, though.
He beat Sturm fair and square. The fact that people thought Oskee would just run him over we’re nuts. Sturm was an excellent boxer, it’s just because everyone hated Oskee for some reason and wanted him to lose.
I actually haven't seen it since the night of the fight, I seem to remember Sturm winning by a clear decision, but maybe I need to rewatch it. There are no fighters that I dislike enough to make them lose in my mind, even guys like Fury & Canelo.
I love Oscar. Warrior in the ring. Coke-fueled, fishnet-rocking, tranny drama queen outside the ring.
Canelo? lol why? He's gotten his ass kicked enough when in reality he didnt even need to take the fights.
