De La Hoya an all time great?...or not

Yep.

 

no

 

Yes.

 

Oscar De La Hoya is an Olympic Gold Medalist, the only 6 division World Champion in History, and the biggest draw in the history of boxing. I would say that the answer is rather obvious.

 

yes

 

definatley he is.... think about it he has only lost to 4 ppl.... an there is lots of controversy about whether or not those 3 beat him... an when u look at it Chavez was only 31 or 32 when he fought DLH... dLH was 34 when he fought PBF .. an the only reason mosley is a all time great is cause why.... he beat DLH n the first fight.. there are many questions around every fighters career but i think the question is obvious tht yes he is a all time great i would even rank him top 10 fighters below the heavy weight divison

 

obviously

 

A longtime elite fighter, beyond worthy HOF level fighter, but an ATG rating can be disputed.

 

Depends how you define an ATG, when he faced the best boxers he got outboxed, lets look:

Mayweather - made to look foolish despite outweighing the smaller Mayweather by about 15lbs

Whitaker - the old Whitaker should have been given the decision, Oscar hit air allot of the time and was not the better man

Quartey - Quartey outboxed Oscar for 9rounds and was robbed

Sturm - Sturm jabbed Oscars head off

Mosley - Mosley outsped and outfought Oscar twice

Hopkins - beat him with a tap

Trinidad - give him this 1, a good performance Oscar was robbed

Chavez - old past prime but a decent win.

So against the best he comes up short time and again but he did fight the best.

 

Yes, he is. Everyone keeps pointing out that Sturm fight, so then also point out that he won the second Mosley fight. Oh well, i guess since it doesnt serve the purpose of your argument then thats not mentioned i guess.

 

Did not look foolish at all, what fight are you talking about? The only one that looked foolish was the so-called p4p who got a SD against a past prime DLH. Floyd said was gonna ice DLH, instead we saw floyd run around and occasionally pot-shot DLH. 34 yr/ parttime fighter DLH stock rose much more than the socalled p4p king

So now Whitakers old, but when Floyd fought DLH, DLH was made to look foolish? Oh, i see what your doing here.:good

Definately did not outbox DLH. The fight was close no doubt, but no way was Quartey robbed. Quartey was robbed against Forrest, that was a robbery, but not against DLH. DLH looked dull at times, but fought right there with Quartey the entire fight, and had a sensational 12th where he knocked him down for the second time, and unloaded.

Sturm did jab the shite outta DLH, but DLH combo'd the shite outta Sturm, even though Sturm basically did not move cause Sturm was a true MW, and DLH was the smaller man, he did score alot in this fight and Sturm at times didnt capitalize on moments where he should have and therefore lost the fight.

Once! DLH was robbed the second time.

A natural LHW fighting a natural WW. Nuff said.

Finally some justice.

Indeed.

 

Wow, nothing like being biased.

 

yes :bbb
