If De La Hoya won all his fights, is he the GOAT?

whitaker and quartey were losses to most. Chicanito was A class at 130, thats why they turned it down and decided to bring him up. Coulda had the trinidad dec but gassed and decided to run the last 4 or he prob woulda got stopped. I thought shane won both fights. second was close. Had it 115-113.
Old chavez, camacho, and a vargas that got brutalized by chito wraps. I dont think those were A rate fighters at the time dlh fought them but ok.

 

I can't do it with some of these guys.

 

He gave us very good fights. He fougth a really big number of top fighters, tbh.

I hated him so much while he was active. Now, I hate him no more and I enjoy watching his fights.

Winning is not everything. God damn mayweather's zero, worst thing that could ever happen to boxing.

Winning is not enough when we talk about being the goat. It's necessary something else too.

 

That type of BS knit-picking can be applied to any boxer and if you're honest and applied the same standards to all of his contemporaries DLH would still come on top or very near the top.

But I don't think your an honest guy and this thread proves it. You claim he didn't beat any A fighters and then come up with BS excuses as to why the A-fighters DLH beat were not A fighters.

 

Was ali an A rate fighter when holmes beat him?

 

Yes. That Hopkins win would have been ridiculous.

 

What?

 

Robinson would not fare well against modern welterweights.

 

What are you basing this on? First he could not hang w/ today's MW, now not even today's WWs???
