In his biggest fights he conquered Morales, Barrera, Marquez, De la Hoya and Hatton. In contrast, the picture is gloomy for De la Hoya when fighting Mosely, Trinidad, Hopkins and Pacquiao - where he loses all of these fights. Though he did beat Whittaker and Chavez.
I don't have a problem with him being higher than Hoya (he is) but this top 20 bull**** is just getting out of hand.
The true 6 weight divisions champ. Dela Hoya is one of my favorite fighter but there's no way he won that fight against Sturm. He only got the nod to fight Hopkins.
just saw his fight against Pernell Whittaker on youtube. He's just as slow as he was against Pernell except he threw a FEW more punches.:smoke
plus 4 lineal titles hell De La Hoya is one of my all time favorites but even i can see through the bodily fluids on my goggles.
ODLH should NOT be credited with being a 6 weight division champ, Lets not forget that some of those belts DLH has won were WBOGUS :yep
UliUli, man Oscar will be inducted into the Hall of Fame, but he canot be regarded as great as Sugar ray Robinson, Leonard, Duran, list goes on, you know wahat Im talkin bout, but perhaps neither can Pacquioa so far, But the difference being that Pac has the possibility yet to be One of those few. He was BOrn for it.
It is not what Pacman did it is what Oscar did not. Oscar did not really beat any greats who were prime. Chavez was a good win but way past his prime. Oscar beat Quartey who is hardly even HOF. Tito beat him, Hopkins beat him Shane beat him Floyd beat him and Pacman beat him. Why should Oscar be that high in rating?
BECAUSE DLH IS GARBAGE!! Lost all his big fights, **** Mosley and Mayweather are way past DLH. DLH is way in the back of the line.
