    By 1997, He was a 4 division world champion by defeating legendary Pernell Whitaker
    By 1998, He was a Global Icon
    By 1999, He was part of one of the biggest fights ever
    By 2000, He released an album
    By 2001, He was nominated for a Grammy, And won a title in his fifth weight class
    And it keeps going on and on and on
    My question is, Have you ever seen a fighter rise as quickly as Oscar de la hoya?
