De La Hoya Never Recovered From Floyd Loss

the guy has lost his mind

 

:thumbsup

 

Honestly, I hope Mayweather stays retired so boxing can move on.

 

Oscar De La Hoya is considered by many (including me) one of the best boxers in the past 25 years, fought the best, lost to the best but never turned anyone down. And besides the travesty fight versus Tito (I am huge fan of Tito but think the fight was a travesty), all of his other fights were great fights. And believe when I say this, Oscar is worth more money that PBF right now and will be worth way more 10-20 years from now, the dude is a money making machine. Check again in 10 years and lets see who has more money, PBF or Oscar.
Ohh and Oscar a OLYMPIC GOLD MEDAL....Nuff said....

 

the swine will be along shortly to sh*8 on the pearls.. and then eat the sh8t off of that amongst themselves.

 

oh wow....so floyd doesnt have a gold medal! we all know that was on the up and up!!!! im sure floyds still crying about that one

oh cool oscar has more money? thats great...i dont think floyd will be at the salvation army buying clothes any time soon.....and on top of that floyd did on his terms being boring and not getting hit....more impressive to see his money stacks while fighting a "boring" style

you dont see floyd talking about oscar all of the time....floyd dont care...oscar still trying to use floyds name...he needs to let it go.....oscar sounds like ronda rousey out there talking about floyd trying to sell her own product....

so oscar has all of this.....all of it over floyd....and yet its oscar penning open letters to floyd? hmmmmmm

 

Oscar isn't worth more than Floyd. Not even close

 

WHAT!? Floyd was the attraction? As Merchant said, FLoyd was boxing star, oscar was the boxing star celebrity. The only reason Floyd's fights generated more buys as time went on was because of social media and the fact there are barely any interesting PPVs anymore so boxing fans really didn't have much choice and no other options of the big stage fights. If Oscar was fighting in this day, Floyd would be featured on the undercard, make no mistake. 99% of fans would save their money to watch oscar than floyd. Oscar didn't have social media and youtube back then to build the hype up, nor did tyson. If you're fool enough to think if either Tyson or oscar were fighting today they wouldn't be PPV king, You're hopeless.

 

You must have not followed boxing back then. Because he beat a still very active and undefeated for years Chavez twice, P4P #1 in the world ranked Whitaker, Hernandez (floyd's own biggest claimed victory -- An oscar left over!!!!) Quartey, Vargas, Trinidad, and Mosley in the rematch. Albeit two of those went as L's, everyone knows he won those fights handily. Floyd's fought much lesser competition and he's lucky he wasn't robbed like oscar was vs tito and Mosley rematch. Floyd could have easily lost a decision against Castillo, Oscar, Maidana but he is lucky he never had to deal with the corruption oscar did.

 

Floyd whooped the **** out of him, 117-111. 9 rounds to 3.

Anyone who has it closer doesn't know how to score a fight.

Most had it 9-3.

Oscar has never been able to live this down. Floyd rips on him all the time for that loss.

That's why Oscar went to drugs... cuz Floyd beat his ass

 

Oscar fared much better against Floyd than most (including me) expected, considering his age and inactivity.

I suppose it's a big surprise that Oscar went downhill while getting even older, being inactive and dealing with a drug problem post-Floyd :shock:

Floyd beat him but it wasn't the type of fight that takes something out of the loser. That usually comes from taking excessive punishment or being thoroughly outclassed - and neither happened in this one.

 

Depends on how you define it. H2H maybe Floyd is better.

But Oscar irrefutably had the greater career. His level of opposition dwarfs Floyds.
