Oscar de la Hoya has another excuse! Breaking news!

neither does it take a great mind to deduce that this fight would never have happened at 154 in his prime

oscar looked great early in fights when he was on his toes, but he turns flat footed as fights wear on and becomes easy to hit

 

this was later in his career, there was a time oscar could dance around you for 12 rds. at 147 both in their best form, i'll take oscar every time.

 

ill take that bet :good

considering, with oscar's impressive resume (of fights taken), that his best wins are arguably vargas and quartey, it speaks volumes about his shortcomings

 

cool, i'll stack oscars resume, even with his losses, against floyds any day of the week.

 

now thats a cop out...
i was talking about oscar's victories

sometimes people take great resumes and label the fighter great, which oscar clearly never was

 

no cop out, i said EVEN with his losses, meaning i figured you would count them against him.

 

some of oscar's losses are contentious, but the tito fight for example was more about oscar losing the fight than tito winning it

oscar probably earned the decision but he only has himself to blame

 

I hate DLH and think he is very over rated, that being said he was old and retired and still almost won that fight. This just shows how Floyd is not even close to being a great in the sport.

 

you really need to understand how big a factor weight can come into play
why do you think floyd has only fought blown up welters at 154 and is fighting canelo at a catch weight?
