Oskee Delahoya APPRECIATION Thread!

I have no reason to lie, just telling it how I see it.

 

Are you asking me to type out the name of every MW in history that I think would beat Canelo H2H? It would take too long.

 

LOL

 

No, BHOF in Canastota. Him and Tito Trinidad that time. Mickey Ward was amazing to talk to as well. Did a face off with James Toney lol it was great.

 

Yep, Oscar was tough and got steered around with best of them. LA was ripe for a Mexican Champ then and he worked it for all it was worth.
He never impressed against the top fighters back then, but he won when he was supposed to and Floyd for all he is always had the money and Kenny Bayless in his back pocket the ease the way. Oscar earned his way in. The rest is part of the game and he does appear to be half wack anymore.

 

How he never impresseed vs top fighters? He beat Chavez, camacho, Vargas and Tito and roided Mosley in the second fight in most peoples eyes.
He had fights that could go either way vs Whitaker and Quartey.
Its not like he underperformed outside given the strong list of opponents he faced.
Only at 160 ge sucked but it was an obvious step to high.

 

Nunn
Tiger
Hagler
Monzon
SRR
Toney
McCallum
RJJ

Theres a few quick names for you.

 

Well Canelo lost to Mayweather at Jr Middleweight whilst being made to drain to 152.

A very good win for Mayweather but obviously Canelo wasn't as good then as he was at 160, especially with the catchweight. Although Mayweather was older aswell so theres two ways of looking at.

But I think Canelo does compete well at 160 with alot of fighters but loses to the very best.

 

Oscar Depreciation thread would be a lot more fun

 

Oskee was great for Boxing, when he became a promoter we got a lot of good fights that I can appreciate.
