"Very few people really understand what it means to be a fighter. I hate it when I hear someone say, 'That fighter doesn't have guts. I hate that, I don't care if you're a world champion six times over or a four-round fighter, to step inside that ring, you have to have guts" Oscar De La Hoya
Hey wow... hadn't seen a post from you in awhile. You don't get on much, do you. I remember when I first started on the forum. My first "sad-clicks" for Oscar-bashing were from you. At first I took it personally. Then I realized we're just fans of different fighters, and with VERY different opinions about the same facts. So yeah... I'm a hater, I guess. But usually I'm pretty detailed about my reasons. Maybe not 100% right about all of them, but very passionate about them. But as Yogi Berra would say... boxing is 90% facts and 90% opinions.

Why do mexicans hate Oscar? hmmmm... cuz he doesnt fight like one plain and simple.![]()
De La Hoya doesn't fit the mold of the rugged Mexican fighter, but I think he is popular with Mexican/Americans, if not Mexicans.
I would give a prime JCC the edge over a prime DLH.
Oscar should fight the winner of Marg and Mosely, and he will get the respect of all the boxing community, which is something money cannot buy. He will lose but it is better to lose to a legitimate welterweight than a chiwawa, as some poster describe Pac before he won the fight.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Oscar fighting anybody else would be like him building others' careers. Having "Oscar De La Hoya" in your boxing resume looks good no matter what. I hope he doesn't fight anymore.
