I agree with you, De La Hoya was a great fighter but it cannot be ignored that of all the elite fighters he fought who were in their prime he either lost, or should have lost.

Hopkins,
Mosely twice,
Trinidad,
Quartey
Whittaker
Sturm.

So his best performances were against Vargas, Gatti and Chavez who could all be summed up in three words, shot,shit and shot
