Anybody met Oscar de la Hoya????

just curious to see what the guy is like??

cum on sum1 must have met him :P

nope, not me! ;)

Like many other fighters hes cool.
I've had several opp's. to talk with him and share some words. I expressed to him that coming from East L.A. what honor it was to have him represent us in and out of the ring. In the ring hes fought the best out there and has never turned down a challenge. Out of the ring, hes humble and REALLY cares about his struggling people in East L.A. which to me is what matters the most that the work he does is for his people really. Every year the ODHL charities, food donations, gifts during X-Mas and not to mention his youth center that has kept the youth out of those damn! L.A. street gangs....

I wish his youth center would have been there when I was a kid would have loved to join. :)

I grew up in East L.A. and that guy loves his East L.A. people. Hes from our times, Arum, King are out. Boxing has new promoters DBE, Goosen. It's their time and boxing will change for the better.....

He is a great bloke , very respectful and courteous O0

The real important question that I want answered is this...............

























Did Oscar look as organge in person as he does in that photo?

No wonder they call him the Goldenboy :P

I had to, Lords.....

All things aside hes a great person and cares about his people I love driving down Telegraph Rd. then jump onto Olympic then onto 8th street make a right on Lorena and drive past his Youth Center and watch the kids walking in and out with their gym bags and smiles all around when I have time I stop by for an hr. or two and watch as the next ODLH could possibly be there.....

Yeah! He did look like that...
I guess thats why they call him Goden Boy....

Another thing I will say is that ODLH is always in shape he stays fit and trains even when hes inactive. From the times I've seen him I've never seen him out of shape or anything like that....

Totally agree O0
Boxers looking after Boxers can only be for the good of the sport ;)
