Oscar Dela Hoya's Legacy - Help

I'm saying look at this thread and look at the reasoning of people in this thread shitting on Floyd and boosting up Oscar. I'll take away what I said to you though, you are consistent.

I will say I still don't look at Oscar as an elite fighter, just a very good one.

Not going to change you're mind about DLH but let me end it like this, If DLH
is not that great of a fighter, what makes floyd so great. His biggest victory is the past-prime-and-not-so-great Oscar DLH.

 

Like I said Oscar ducked Vernon and you and everyone else knows it, stop trying to make excuses for the Golden Boy, he had opportunity at 147 and 154 to fight him and never did.

No I didn't admit to anything, just notified you that he rejected a garbage offer from Oscar.

I don't rate Oscar as Floyd's biggest win.

 

Very true!! This guy is getting smoked at will

 

I disagree with the Vernon ducking. Oscar had so many fights going on, all with very good to great fighters. He couldn't possibly fight them all, but he did a better job fighting most of them than most champs do.
I do agree with you that Floyd's best win isn't his Oscar fight. Floyd didn't look very good in that fight, and Oscar wasn't prime. It didn't matter if Floyd won every round, that wasn't his greatest achievement. Had he of fought and beaten Oscar in the early 2000s or late 90s then ya, that would have been saying something.

 

Oscar's legacy is a good one. He fought A LOT of big named fighters in his time and contrary to popular belief, he won some of them. He also came out on the short end of bad judging, but also got the positive side at times. But yeah, bottom line is he fought the top guys in his days.

 

As long as I've been here you are the first moron to seriously insinuate DLH ducked Vernon. One more time, when did Oscar duck Vernon?

Rejecting a 6 mill payday is the epitome of ducking:deal

Without his victory over DLH, FLoyd would stll be gettin 200K PPV hits, if that's not his biggest win(also the biggest scalp on his record) who isatsch

Go back to the Lounge and leave the boxing talk to the big boys!

 

He got promoted better that barrera,morales and marquez but he isnt greater than any of them

 

Serously how can anyone even say Oscar is better then those 3.

 

Solid point there

 

Morales and Barrera are legends IMO, so is Oscar. But fukin Marquez? No way, he's not on their level.

 

Fought everyone in around his weight unlike many boxers and most of his losses were very close as well as some wins.

 

de la hoya was a good B rate fighter. Never stepped up to the plate against A rate comp and was spoonfed his whole career.

 

One of the most solid resume's ever. He lost a good portion of the big ones. But Oscar is a top 50 ATG for sure.
