one of the bigger names of modern boxing as far as impact on the sport. a nice guy who has done some questionable things but nothing worse than 99% of the jokers on here. has lost a few like most greats but has given the public more events than most of the fighters the haters love to say are better than him. his name will be tossed around with the likes of leonard, duran, chavez, etc... to put it simply, the guy is a winner
1. Dont hate because Trinidad owns DLH in the ring. 2. 115-114, 6-5-1, Trinidad W12 DLH. Learn to score rounds, young laddie before you post here. 3. I see you have no comment about fake toy submarines in the Loch, and Scottish beer, aka "****"
ODLH has been a great fighter. But what he really did for boxing goes beyond his boxing abilities. ODLH put the welters to dance the million dollars dance. That kind of money was only for heavyweights before ODLH. He is a pretty boy(for real) Because of him many women started to go to boxing matches. And of course, many men followed those women. A lot of money started moving because of that.
This had been happening since the Fab Four of the 80's, so Oscar gets no real credit for that. What he did though, through his skills was bring excitement into the non HW divsions again. He took the gold in Barcelona, and then proved he was for real, by winning WBO gold almost immediatley, and then by shocking Ruelas and Hernandez. He was for real. Then the whole fiasco with Chavez, but he primed in 1996-1997. By 1998, he started to fade a bit, as a geriatric Chavez in 1998, was able to go to war with him for about 7 rounds. Finally, as Oscarmania was at it's peak, and non boxing fan ignorant females became fans of his, God and Don King sent us a Champion from Heaven to battle against this pestillence, and Trinidad erased his undefeated streak and Golden Smile and welterweight reign over 12 rounds in September of 1999. "Many men followed those women"....I disagree. Many "men" like Beware and Mundo and Relentless found themselves transformed, like Lon Chaney Jr. in the 1941 classic "The Wolf Man" into a monster known as an Oscarsexual. They went (On Fightnight) from an average male, beer guzzling, women chasing, fan of the NFL and the NBA, into a weird "bizarro world" form of a homosexual who only gets sexually excited by Oscar de la Hoya. For example, one time Beware of Dawg and 5 of his friends were at a Hooters restaurant on the Saturday of an Oscar fight, about 12 in the afternoon, for some nuclear wings, and some beer. They were all flirting with the sexy waitress, a cute little blonde, 5'4, 36DD, with a shapely ass, 21 years old, college student, and flirting with her, trying to coax her out of the digits, ect, and enjoying their wings and beer. Soon, a group of the waitresses Hooter girl friends joined them at the table, laughing and flirting and all talking about a certain nightclub that was cool to frequent on Thursday nights. All of a sudden, a commercial came on advertising the Oscar fight on PPV that evening, and Beware and all his friends, simultaneouly all screamed in high pitched voices, and all ran towards the Big Screen TV, knocking over Bunny, and 3 of her fellow waitresses. They all started licking the Television image of Oscar, and the footage of him knocking out Feroz. Beware actually started to undo his pants, and then the commercial ended. Then, they were all in a trance, and didnt know why they were all in front of the same TV screen, being asked to leave by the management. Oscarsexuality. A pestillence. :deal :smoke

Oscar was robbed in the Trinidad fight simple as, ask anyone, you clearly dont no what your talking about mate, you obvi don't know yourself how to score a round.
Oscar De La Hoya will have some problems against the likes of Antonio Margarito at this stage of his career. On top of that, they are both Mexican and I'm not to sure if Oscar wants to fight a fellow countryman in his final professional fight. In any event, anything is better than fighting and starching Manny Pacquiao in the first 5 rounds. [YT]doSXJCS3B7U[/YT] Everytime the left hook lands, the opponent seems to go down. This is against natural 147lb fighters.
The only big fights he won were Fernando and Chavez. And both of these guys were past their primes and battle damaged.
