All 3 losses were to p4p fighters, Hopkins and Mayweather being #1 when he fought them. And if those losses "speak for themselves", then you have to say his win against Sturm does the same. Also, what do you mean by great? Do you think that when he retires he will be in the top 100 of all time?
De La Hoya is an absolute Legend, he always fought the best, even in defeat he was competetive, the ammount of hate on these forums towards him angers me and is undeserved
Fellow members of East Side Boxing. This idiot is a PRIME example of how Oscarsexuality runs rampant in Communities all over America today. I didnt hear a ****ing thing about the Sturm Robbery, or the Worst Robbery in the History of All Sports, Whitaker-DLH. This ***goty Fanboy probably had Oscar ahead, 120-109 in both fights, and probably has a large poster of DLH hanging on the ceiling over his bed, so when his boyfriend is on top, he can look at the photo and excite himself into erotic nirvana. His 5 losses were exactly that. Oscar had the chance to redeem all of them. He didnt want a Rubber match with Sugar because of $$$. He didnt want a Rematch for the Most Cowardly Performance in Boxing History, next to Tyson-Seldon, again, because of $$$. Tito Trinidad relieved Oscar de la Hoya of his Undefeated Streak, his WBC belt, and the True Welterweight Championship of the World, all in a nights work. When Tito got off the plane on the Monday after the fight in PR, he held up for the crowd Oscar's green WBC Title in one hand, and a rubber chicken in the other. The Story of the Fight, folks. Hopkins made him **** hisself in the ring, and PBF took his crossdressing ass to school. :deal :fire
and he is certainly not underrated.You just have to look at his fanbase and cash he pulls in to see that he is appreciated enough.
