    I hear you but then there's SRR, Armstrong, Greb, Charles, Moore, Langford, Duran, Pacquiao and Mosley themselves too, if you can imagine them going undefeated. Also, Canzoneri, Ross and McLarnin. And Griffith. God, so many of these guys had insane lineups. Right up to the general consensus in SRR, but, then again, how would his opponents necessarily be regarded without a win over him? Same goes for everyone there, take away the regard their opponents got for beating them, it's a different story.

    In the last 30 years, yes. And if he would of won all of them he probably would be top 5 of all time.

    Oscar De La Hoya has a hell of a resume, win or lose.

    Has anyone in the last 30 years fought so many top P4P fighters and elite fighters?

    Absolute marvel of a fighter! He's definitely high up there with the best resumes out there, win or lose!
    Let's not forget that he's been on the losing end of controversial fights...

    Guy took on any and all. Nobody does that **** nowadays, yet theres still some cheapish dislike for him.

    Faux fans. Keep cheering and idolizing the lomachenkos, crawfords of the world. Past 30 with no significant fights. There for nothing more but a show and a check.

    Their resumes are pudding compared to dudes from the past.


    But at least Oscar is still relevant in the fight game; while all the nerds here dont exist. Props to Oscar for that.

    Stay petty and mad ya bums.

    Man if Oscar would have at least got the decisions vs Trinidad and Mosley we would have definitely talking about Top 25 maybe 15.. His fight with Floyd reminded me a lot of his fight with Whitaker.. The older ATG keeping it close but eventually the younger fresher ATG having enough to pull it off.

    He’s left off of lots of lists because he’s not well like but on any given night I would give Oscar a 50/50 shot against anybody at WW.. And I’m no fan of Oscar but still have to acknowledge his greatness

    Golovkin would have knocked him out at 160

    DLH's defense was highly underrated, not that he didn't get credit for his defensive skills, but I think not enough credit.

    Definitely one of the best at parrying, which allowed him to fight infront of his opponent, be offensively minded and still not get his clean or often.

    He deserved the decision vs Mosley and probably Trinidad. I thought Quartey did enough to win.

    You don`t think Golovkin is a better body puncher than Hopkins? No way could DLH evade GGG`s body shots. Oscar got caught often.
