The "REAL" Reason Oscar De La Hoya Was Loved...

And he actually answered questions from interviews. he wasnt like most that say:

Merchant: Was he tougher than you expected?

Common Fighter: i just want to thank God, Al Haymon, Vanessa i love you baby! Whoo!

Merchant: Did you feel his pressure affected you?

Common fighter: BURGER KING BURGER KING!!!

 

I think most of his fans were casual fans, not avid boxing fans. Most of his fans know nothing about the sport.

 

I think it is a combination of his good looks, his ability and that he won the gold medal for the USA.

you usually talk a lot of sense, but I gotta disagree with you here.

 

Merchant: Did he hurt you at all? And how did you ajust to his right hand after that tuff first round?

Common Fighter: Hi Momma

 

....aye.

He beat tons of big name fighters.

The reason he's beloved is because he was extremely personable, a tremendous fighter in his prime, a wonderful salesman and a guy who took on all challengers.

 

hmm says.... "I broke my back. ..... My back is broken."

 

he aint lost all his big fights?. .. no wonder you got such a grudge against the guy's articulate side

 

hmm says.... going back to what I previously stated...
The man rose to stardom and was on top of the sport.. Of course when you're on top, the only direction to go is down. He went down, fighting the best, but he still kept trying to fight on..... trying to get back on top.....I admired that, but it was the wrong choice for him when he focused more time as a promoter.. Just like Hulk Hogan (going off topic)..... ahaha

 

Marchant: How did the long layoff affect you?

Common fighter: MOMMA!!! i love you and god, tell god i said that.

Marchant: Did he hurt you at all?

Common fighter: I wanna thank Don king.

Marchant: Did you expect the fight to go the distance?

Common fighter: I wanna thank my daddy... oh and God

Marchant" Are you gonna answer ANYTHING i ask you??

Common fighter: MOMMMMAAAA!!!!

 

Mike Tyson. Classic.:yep

 

Extremely outgoing would be the correct one.

It's like you're trying to be edgy on this...it's not even all that deep.

 

Merchant: You were wobbled at the beginning of the first round. What went through your head at the time?

Common Fighter: I got robbed man thats all i can tell you. Fans know who won.

 

Merchant: What happened with the knockdown in round 7, Were you hurt?

Not so common fighter: IT WAS A HEADBUTT! YOU KNOW I WON THAT FIGHT!

 

and? ... another reason people like oscar get love is because they'd never let a c + fighter out box them
