    Yes, he lost some fights but the guy fought everyone something Mayweather and Pacquioa havent done. if you look at Mayweathers resume Genaro Hernandez is one of his best wins but people overlook that Oscar de la Hoya beat him years earlier too

    And still hate on him. Boxing would be better if we had more guys like oscar. Guys who would fight everyobody and wasnt scared of elite guys in their primes.

    Yup. The only reason he isn't hated on as much anymore is because Floyd and Pac are the new targets :lol:

    he lost pretty much most of all his big fights, trinidad. mosley twice,hopkins, pac man, floyd so i actually thin hes overated, his biggest win(not most impressive) was probably vargas or quartey not really an all time great resume, great for boxing though as he brought alot of fans in so he earns points for that

    He's not underrated, he never was. One of the bravest boxers in the past 50 years.

    No one in the last 20 years has a better resume than Oscar.

    not saying the guy wasent good and yes he did get robbed a few times but that more than balanced itself out against, whiteker, quarty and especially sturm where he got decisions where alot thought he shouldnt have

    I think here are the reasons:

    1. He has teeny bopper set as fans

    2. He sometimes says stupid things at the worng time.

    3. He's making more money in one night than a regular Joe for an entire decade.

    and lastly,

    4. You can't do anything about it cause he can kick your ass.

    That's why.
