Boxing is a straight love and hate relationship !!!

one of my favourite fighters of the modern era. fought everybody when he didn't have to. earned our respect whether we give it to him or not

 

i was a die hard fan of de la hoya but since becoming a promoter he has become full of ****.

 

we WANT them to fail it seems. ****, after the kotelnik fight everyone jumped ship, rather than acknowledge he took a damn tough fight against a well schooled opponent and keep going no matter how much he got countered. now he's "overrated", "a joke"...**** that. he's a great fighter, determined ******* and nice guy

btw: i talked to him a little while back on facebook, REAL classy dude, said hi to the wife and was happy to talk boxing for like half an hour

 

to a degree but still, he's doing what he can. he's a promoter and not everyone's best friend now but i see your point

 

Agree with this totally and with Freddy's opening statement. These are the guys we are meant to enjoy watching and it seems many people are almost as going as far as to call them ****s at times.

 

He was hated back then too, by his own people, saying he wasn't mexican enough, didnt look it............funny shite

 

true and i didn't like him until the vargas fight. then i went back and watched his career, read about him more and gained massive respect. if being "mexican" is being touch as ****, watch the quartey fight and tell me he doesn't qualify

 

I was never a huge ODLH "fan", but as I've matured, I've grown to genuinely respect his career both as a fighter and as a businessman. I know it's "popular" to **** on Golden Boy or ODLH at every opportunity, so yeah your point stands Always gonna be haters.

 

Good post, as we say down here "Real Talk". To hear "fans" tell it, everybody ****ing sucks lol, I mean the bottom line is these cats invest their entire lives into doing this ****, they have the BALLS to walk that isle and put it all on the line. Most people are so terrified of failure they would NEVER walk down that Isle knowing within the next hour my entire lifes work is either going to pay off and I'm going to "make it" or "I'm going to fail", that's a heavy load to carry and why all fighters deserve respect.

 

even before he retired he was getting annoying

floyd mayweather is the best trainer in boxing!

no he's not freddie roach is! believe it or not freddie this is the best pad session i've ever had!

uh oh no i was wrong floyd joy mayweather sr is the best trainer in the world...


and the new greatest trainer of all time don nacho beristein!!!


man stfu.

 

I became a huge De la hoya fan when he first started pro. I knew he would be a great fighter in which he turn out was a great fighter. Alot of people have bash Oscar saying he never won the big fights. Well the Whitaker fight was a big fight in which Oscar won no matter if some thinks he won or not. Oscar beat Quartey in a big fight. <<Some thought he won but some thought he lost but still he won regardless and that fight was a great one. Oscar tko Vargas in a fight everybody dying to see. Hey look if many say Oscar didn't really beat Quartey or Whitaker then hell many didn't think Trinidad or Mosley in the rematch beat Oscar. The only 2 people in Oscar era that Oscar really haven't fought is Forrest and Wright. But many here don't know is Oscar offer Wright to fight him but Wright turn down 6 million dollars (Would have been Wright biggest Payday in his career) cause he feels he should get 10 millions or more in which clearly shows he way over price himself. In that time Shaw was Wright promoter and told Arum that 6 million dollars was a slap in the face. People can say all they want but it's the truth.
