Oscar De La Hoya Officially Retires: Showing Live On ESPN News.

Bert Sugar says boxing's atm machine is done. Says Dlh will be missed, and a star who left an indelible mark on the sport. Teenage girls his fans at first his fans, and then he made everyone a fan. Enigmatic fighter, some latinos didn't appreciate Dlh's style. Sugar says Dlh beat Tito. Became human after loss to Tito. Dominated much of his early comp. Sugar says Dlh's resume superb. Says Dlh has risen to being a great promoter. Typing this as we speak.

 

On to the Hall Of Fame!!!

 

:huh

 

He literally did fight them all....marvelous record and literally did bring the punters in

 

Oscar may have fought the best competition, more so then anybody in recent history.

Thanks for everything Oscar.

 

Thanks for a great career, champ. Retire in peace.

I can't help but think that he might try to make that Trinidad rematch six months down the road - but for now he appears to have hung the gloves up for good.

 

Thanks Oscar. I'm not sure there is going to be another fighter as charismatic as you. Keep the good work in the promotion.

 

Besides being really too small to fight Bernard, he was in every other fight that he lost
(cept Pac-man, which showed he really had lost it), and some would say even some others that he won. :yep

 

It's so satisfying that the last image the public will have of Oscar is seeing him dominated, TKO'd, and humiliated... by a blown-up flyweight.

It's going to slow-burn in him for a long time.

Good riddance.

 

With his level of popularity, he could have gotten away with padding his record and cherry-picking his way to several world titles - and maybe even a nice un-beaten record.
The fact he sought out the biggest challenges speaks volumes about him.
A unique, hall-of-fame, career.

 

Oscar has done some good things for boxing...He's a lock for the HOF for sure and I hope he enjoys his retirement...I may not have been his biggest fan but I do RESPECT what Oscar has done for us fight fans.

I would like to personally thank Oscar for all the fights he's given us....You deserve it!:good

 

DLH helps getting the okay from the wife when I order PPV.

 

Next top, Canastoga! Thanks for all the great fights champ!

 

enjoy the retirement. But something about me thinks he will pop his head up and make a mega fight with himself. IK
but never the less enjoy the retirement.

 

**** oscar and all his ****en soap operahs
