Oscar De La Hoya on on his Hardest Hitter?

Oscar had a great chin
The guy fought everyone and imo is extremely underrated

I think he gotba little weird when he retired, but the guy was a real fighter and put on some great fights

 

Boxing would be better of if fighters were like dlh in rge ring. Fight everyone.
My estimation of him as a fighter has gone up due to everyone ducking these days.

If his record looked like it should he would have wins over prime tito and mosley. Losses vs Sturm and maybe another close loss vs quartey or pea.
Had he beaten Bhop or Floyd I would have rated him way higher.
But he fought everyone and should be rsted higher if he got the decisions he deserved.

 

I would have thought Felix Trinidad.

 

Quartey had a great jab. I always thought he was a very good fighter.
.

 

bazooka gave dlh problems that was a great fight. oscar had a hell of a career. sucks he laid off the gas against trinidad in the last 4 rounds and paid the price.

 

DLH Said Quartey' punches felt like bricks, they certainly did damage on Oscar's face during their fight. One of DLH many controversial wins, one that should have happened again at some point.

 

I don't think Trinidad was able to hit him cleanly. If Delahoya was in Trinidads wheel house he probably would have felt differently.

 

funny because whitakers jab dominated oscar was more dominant the ikes jab.

 

trinidad didnt land much, bazooka was doing damage. I think he even dropped oscar i can't remember.

 

Hmmmmmm ??? But when Margarito gave Oscar that facelift you were sure he had loaded gloves, what s the difference ??? Same was happening in the rematch till that NY doctor stopped the fight to save Cotto having to quit on his knees AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. That would have blown the "loaded gloves" accusations right out of the widow wouldn't it lol
