Oscar De La Hoya Ducked Plenty Of Fighters In His Prime

He wouldn't have beat Vernon or Winky so why bother? He may as well lose to bigger names

 

Winky could've pulled in $10 plus million but wanted 50/50. Shame that's when he went bonkers as far as pricing himself out of fights. He could've had the Taylor rematch and a Pavlik fight, too.

 

Forest was in the same class and Forest demolished the man that beat Oscar twice.

 

Such an ignorant post. :verysad

First of all

didn't become relevant until

when he won the VACANT WelterWeight (

In

was capturing his 8th world title in his 5th division at Jr.MW (

So please say at one point do you consider ODLH ducking Forrest.

Moving on to Ronald Winky Wright.

Winky lost a close fight to Fernando Vargas in December 1999.
-It wasn't until October 2001 almost 2 years later that Winky became relevant again when he won the VACANT IBF 154 lb title.

What was Oscar doing in 2001 again? That's right, becoming a Jr.MW titlist beating European Champion Javier Castillejo.

Less than a year later in 2002 ODLH was KOing the man who had beat Winky Wright just a little over a year and a half before, who was the current Jr.MW champion Fernando Vargas.

In 2003 Oscar was having an opportunity to avenge his only real loss against Mosley and in 2004 Oscar was fighting in the MW division.

In 2005 Oscar offered Winky $6 million, his biggest payday ever. Winky declined the offer.

As far as Judah... :verysad You're just trolling atsch

I see no ducking here, only a man with ***** as big as your head.

 

Forrest was never in the same weightclass as Oscar when Forrest was relevant. And Oscar in 6 rounds

the man who Destroyed and Embarrassed Forrest twice. :deal

 

That was a damn close fight!

 

Pretty spot on man!

 

You need to do your research because you don't know what you're talking about. Mosley lost to Forrest after the first fight with Oscar. That alone made Vernon relevant to fight Oscar and like I said, Forrest destroyed the man who beat Oscar twice.l

 

Oscar was fighting at 154, when Forrest beat shane.

 

I'm not sure WTF you're talking about, I'm not even sure YOU know WTF you're talking about.

Mosley won a close but clear decision against Oscar in their first match. And it is the consensus that Oscar was robbed in the rematch. But even if you can't score fights or are just biased, saying Shane dominated Oscar in either fight is flat out ignorant.

Between 1996-1999 ODLH was busy AF fighting the 3 other P4P Champions at WW who were pretty much avoiding each other. Who the hell had time for Forrest?? LOL

Forrest only became relevant when he won the vacant IBF title. He was fed to Mosley and was a clear underdog. He fought him twice and then got KTFO by the man who was completely dominated and destroyed by Oscar De La Hoya.

 

Good points. You completely and utterly schooled Willie, who often seems utterly clueless or LD at times.

However DD.... whenever there is a PR fighter involved you seem to go full RET@RD.

Tell me.....

You are the ref of Castillo v Corrales 1....

How is that fight OFFICIALLY recorded had you been the Tony Weeks.

 

Yeah, he was, but he went up because he wanted to, not because he had too. After the loss to Mosely, Then he fought Gatti when he could have just as easily fought Forrest.

 

The first fight was a split decision and the second fight was a unanimous decision, so the second fight was more decisive than the first. Oscar fought Mosley the first time in 2000. At that time, Oscar was 32/2 and Forrest was 31/0. That made him relevant. And like I said, Oscar may have beat the man who beat Forrest but Forrest beat the man who beat Oscar.

 

Thanks for educating some of these RET@RDS...
Though I doubt the LD demographs will have a clue what your talking about because their goddess, Ms Mayflower, sadly has better reading comprehension skills.

I would like to add about Winky though....

He was in fact offered near a 3X career high payday to fight Oscar.
So...I consider that a duck if anything.
I'd also add irt Winky....He needed a gift to get past Soliman, who's own one trick pony style was complete kryptonite to Winky and his defense.
Anything closer than 116/112 Soliman is either LD demographs or financial interests.

 

You obviously weren't following boxing back then.

I don't have the time to school you. FFS you think the second DLH-Mosley fight was a more decisive win for Mosley.
