    De La Hoya has been getting so muck crap about him needing to retire, nobody wanting to see him fight (but you still do:patsch), and about him being shot or a has been. Mosley recently has too. I ask Why!????:huh

    Reasons I seen; DLH is 2-3 in his last 5 fights, DLH is not serious about fighting, DLH is a shot/washed up/ has been fighter.

    Well I understand that the average age for ESB members is 13 1/2 and the average IQ is 72, but I will do my best to explain to you why DLH is still a Top fighter at 154 or even 147 is he decides to drop down by comparing his resume to the other top fighters around those divisions.

    DLH hasn't been as dominant because he takes on the best fighters all the time. He skips the Collazo's, the Estrada's, the bruseles and goes after the Top dogs.

    In conclusion, DLH could be 7-0 had he had Cotto's, Mayweather's or Mosley's resume of their last 7 fights.

    DLH's last 7 fights;

    Mayweather-154- P4P#1 SD-(L)
    Mayorga-WBC-154- Champ KO-6-(W) Easy fight
    Hopkins-160-P4P#2 at the time- KO-9-(L) Closest fight Hopkins had had till date!
    Sturm-WBO-160-Champ- UD-(W) Contraversial-Close fight
    Mosley-154-UD-(L) Highly Contraversial-Also Mosley Roided
    Campas-Tune up-KO-7-(W)
    Vargas-WBA-154- Champ- P4P#5- KO-11-(W)

    Cotto:

    Mosley- W-UD-Close fight
    Zab Judah-:roll:
    Urkal-:roll:
    Quintana- -
    Malignaggi
    Branco

    Mayweather:

    DLH-W-SD-Close fight
    Baldomir-:roll:
    Judah-:roll:
    Mitchell-:roll:
    Gatti-:roll:
    Bruseles- -

    Mosley:

    Cotto-L-UD-Close fight
    Collazo- eh. aight.
    Vargas-TKO-6-Vargas a zombie
    Vargas-TKO-10-Close fight-Vargas washed up
    Cruz- yeah...sure
    Estrada-uh..eh.okay

    I still dont want Cotto to fight DLH because it does nothing for his resume. Just like it does nothing to Mayweather's resume. They just beat an old fighter who even at his best wasnt that great.

    Plus, Cotto just beat the man that beat DLH twice. No need to take a backwards step in his career.

    I got no problem with Oscar and Shane fighting on as long, I just hate it when you hear a guy like WInky Wright who just fought on very close terms wth hopkins at light heavyweight saying that he wants to fight the best...Oscar.

    Oscar would be like a 4-1 underdog in that fight and everyone knows it.

    Oscars resume is def more impressive. But Mosley, and Cotto's isnt slacking either.


    Mayweathers is **** poor. Only 2 good fighters in a loong time. Oscar, and Judah.


    And people need to give Judah more respect. He fights the BEST. He doesnt always come out on top, but atleast he fights them.

    :patsch:roll:

    SD against the P4P#1 fighter of this decade. Mediocracy? No, boring, to some, but not mediocracy by any means.

    If you don't understand that then you have alot of boxing to learn.:hi:

    I don't have a problem with Oscar and Shane. They still seem in formidable shape.

    They are boxing legends, so they have a carte blanche.

    We complain about the best fighters not fighting each other, but when one does (DLH) and gains a few losses he gets highly criticized.:patsch

    Yes my 'mediocracy' knows no bounds.

    BTW, read the whole article. Youre missing the point. Noone doubts Oscars talent.

    Well if that writer wants people to read his article he shouldn't start off with such ignorant comments.

    Its hardly ignorant. Most people admit that it was a boring fight.

    Boring does not mean mediocracy. It was two different styles that together didn't make for an exciting match, much like the PBF-Hatton fight will be. It doesn't mean it was mediocre. :patsch
