    hes been a pro for more than six years,he should be fighting better guys than the cab drivers he has fought,and being a young fighter has nothing to do with anything,go compare his record to other fighters record at the same stage of theyre careers(first six years) it looks pathetic.

    I just have a lot of respect for Oscar De La Hoya as he has always challenged and accepted challenges from the best.

    His record is really, really,really poor for a guy who's a two weight world champ.

    it really is,it just shows how meaningless the alphabet titles are.

    he fought and won the vacant WBA 130 pound title despite not having one fight in that division and he a guy that was koed in one round by Valero for the belt.

    pathetic.

    Manny Pacquaio reminds me of a watered down version of Aaron Pryor, the way he moves in and out, his energy and the way he throws some o his shots-despite the fact he is a southpaw. More so the way they are off balance when throwing straigh shots.

    Juan Manuel Lopez reminds me of Tito trindad (young version) not because they are both P.R but more so the way they throw there hooks.

    Vic Darchinyan reminds me of Ricardo Mayorga (dunno why).

    Migul Cotto reminds me of Kostya Tszyu, not fighting style but attitude in that they both have the pure pugilist mentality and are both have a cold demeanor.

    Floyd Mayweather's style is a fusion of James Toney and Pernell Whitaker.

    Also manny pacquiao tries to peek a boo his way inside by shuffling side to side to avoid punches like mike tyson used to.

    Realise that These are both current fighter but has anyone noticed how Michael Katsidis and shane mosley throw there hooks? Same technique. COMPLETELY different fighters though.

    Katsidis is more Gatti like.
