What was Oscar De La Hoyas Greatest Moment?

I'd have to say Quartey.

It's a fight that was truly a positive for Oscar even though he arguably lost that fight.

He cooked the "chicken" labeled on him, he proved he can beat true welterweights, not just aged Mexican warriors, and he showed what he is made of especially in round 12.

 

When he took Tito to school..

 

Vargas. Ruelas wasn't of Vargas quality but it was a big win at the time.

The Quartey fight is so overrated....2 exciting rounds and 10 slow ones with way too much posing. Not a chessmatch where one guy sets a trap and makes the other pay. It was largely two fighters doing little. Quality but very infrequent exchanges.

 

^ This.

 

Of that list, beating Vargas at that particular time in his career under the circumstances was his best... he looked like ****in Sugar Ray Leonard when he was finishing Vargas, fast, accurate & deadly.

 

Best performances were Quartey, Trinidad, and Mosley II which Delahoya all won. Sadly got robbed in the latter 2.

 

Gold Medal.
His storyline leading up to the OLY was made for TV.
(And winning it all too boot...)

 

Lol. Oscar lost the fight against Tito.

Vitali, however, was beating Lewis on points...

 

Getting robbed in most everyone eye's and showing how corrupt Don King was back then is a good one.

But.

Gold and Vargas take the cake.

 

Beating both Tito and Shane (rematch) , losing the decision and just smiling .

A great fighter.
