One thing that can't be denied, "fishnet boy" has been good for boxing, his PPV revenue from boxing generated something like 700 million, the highest amount for any boxer in history. De La Hoya also defeated 17 world champions and won ten world titles in six different weight classes, gotta respect him for that.
For sure, boxing survives on the backs of it's superstars and Oscar was definitely one of the flagbearers for the sport after the demise of the stars from the 80's and Tyson. Big respect to him, he was always articulate and well spoken, which is why I was shocked to hear him jumbling words and speaking much slower.
I like Oscar well enough and certainly respect what he's accomplished, both in and out of the ring. I have mixed feelings when I hear Bob Arum call Oscar stupid, although there's a bit of truth to that, and it's funny, Arum is still being a patronizing asshole. I'd like to see Oscar tell the old fart to go fuck himself, or better yet give him a bitch-slappin'.
