Oscar De La Hoya did not lose all his big fights

Not really "big" fights. And no, Oscar didn't lose all of his big fights...just most of them. But you could say that Oscar didn't lose all of his big fights, but all of the fights he lost happened to be "big" fights. And btw, Trinidad and Mosley II shouldn't have been loses.

 

Come on guys show some respect for Michelle Obama! :hat

 

The thing that makes Oscars loses so much more frustrating than other fighters is the fact that he could have won most of them if he wanted to enough.(not Hopkins!) and probably if he could have fought them over again he would have won. Oscar is one of the greatest of all time and the only thing he lacks is the killer gene.

 

No, it was like that before.
DLH was always hated on ESB, even before I was a member.
Pac was hated on the boards for a long time too, except for the Pinoys.
Sweet Pea and Chavez have always been loved and hence the hate for DLH.

 

He won or people have argued he won each of these big fights (they were at the time)
Ruelas, Hernandez, Gonzalez, Chavez, Whitaker, Quartey, Trinidad, Castillejo, Vargas, Mosley II, Sturm, Mayorga, Mayweather

Likewise some say he lost all these fights
Whitaker, Quartey, Trinidad, Mosley, Hopkins, Mosley II, Sturm, Mayweather, Pac

Either way, he was clearly an elite fighter to give tought fights to all of those great fighters, bar Hopkins at middle and Pac at 147 when he was 35.

 

I was there homeboy, about 10 rows from the ring. I saw what I saw. You want to blame somebody for that decision? Blame your boy Sturm for not eating what was right there on the table.

 

The KT fight was being built, and then KT blew it against Vince Phillips. Know what you're talking about before you chime in with your half-cents opinion, genius.

As far as me being an ODLH fan... I like the guy, but I was at the fight to see Hopkins, not Oscar. I would never be an OLDH superfan, mainly because of what happened in the Trinidad fight. I understand what he did intellectually and strategically, but I don't respect it much and that's why nobody really cries too much about him getting robbed in that fight. And he DID get robbed. Horribly.

If you want to fight while taking minimal risks, then counterpunch. Stick and move. Don't ****ing do laps around the ring like Joan Guzman. Still pisses me off just thinking about it.

 

Of course he didn't. And in some there is an arguement he won or at least came close - Mosley 2, Trinidad and PBF.

 

:happyThank you.
