    I am serious when I say this after looking at his entire career Oscar has yet to win a fight that means something, yet in doing as much the people still pay to see him fight and they pay a ton of money I wonder why?
    To answer this you have to look at the way Oscar does perform like it or not he does make exciting fights for the fans and fights all the big names in the sport, which is exactly why he makes the kind of money he makes.
    However when you look at his career all the big fights he took he lost, Trinidad, Mosley, Hopkins and Mayweather.
    Sure he has great wins over Quartey Vargas Chavez But the fights that really mattered he fell short, yet the haters will open up and talk **** here but facts are facts DLH must be doing something right when he fights becuase un like guys like Mayweather Jr Hopkins who are P4P fighters and the best at what they do, They still do not bring in the money that DLH does, and the reason is simple, nobody wants to see Hopkins butt his way and hold and hit his way to a win and nobody wants to see Floyd play highspeed tag when he fights.

    I'll admit that he has not beaten an ATG while that opponent was in his prime nor did he win against some of them in a legit manner. But, his win against Vargas was rather impressive.

    So was Chavez I. Also, while he won 2 fights he should have lost, he also lost 2 fights he should have won. I could give a rats ass about DLH, but he's earned what he's gotten.

    Oscar has had his share of wins over solid fighters, as well as his share of dull or medicore big fights.

    Everything that you all are saying is true, and it has hit me last night dont ask me why it took so long to notice some of those losses really could have easily been wins ie, Trinidad, Mosley 2, then again you also have some wins that could easily be losses ie, Sturm Quartey and Whitaker.
    but for a man who barely wins and barely losses one thing you can not say about him, you cant say that the fans dont like him that isnt true, you dont make that kind of money in boxing if your style of fighting is not entertaining.
    De La Hoya is and has been good for boxing and he is one of the biggest reasons today if not the biggest reason today that fighters get paid the way they do.

    This is true and nobody can say other wise, but honestly this is the real reason Oscar is still fighting today, he needs that BIG win before he goes out.

    You must have missed quite a bit of his career.

    Chavez 2x, Whitaker, that 3 ATG victories. Quartey, Vargas, G. Hernandez, Sturm & Castillejo all very solid fighters he beat. Honorable mention would be Gatti. Btw, i noticed you put Mayweather up there, who has he beat that compares to Oscars record? As a matter of fact with probably the exception of Hopkins, who have all the others beat that compare to Oscars?

    He ain't gonna get that BIG win at this point in his career. He's just not a P4P fighter anymore, and unless he gets some love from the judges, he ain't beating any of the top 5 welters...

    Rafael Ruelas, Jesse James Leija, Miguel Angel Gonzalez, Obe Carr, Ricardo Mayorga, John John Molina, Jorge Paez, Hector Camacho, and so forth. As well as the fact that most people agree that DLH beat Tito rather easily and Mosley the second time they fought. I also believe that he won his fight against Mayweather. However, even counting those as defeats, it doesn't take away from his great wins.

    Because you're blind. Tito and Mosley, sure, but if you had DLH beating PBF, then you have no clue how to score.

    Heh, absolutely. I agree 100%. I also had him beating Mayweather. I thought he lost 2 fights, thats Mosley 1, and obviously BHop, but i had him beating Bhop going to the 9th. I dunno what this clown and obvious DLH hater is talking about.:huh
