(If you could so kindly drink this glass of 'Hater-ade' and post your comments)


He was also awarded 'Promoter of the year Award' by the WBO.
Rumour has it he is going to win THE RING fighter of the decade also......
1st you get the money,
Then you get the power,
Then you monopolize the sport.

I mean even I a hard core ODLH fan can see that this "prestigeous" award given to him by the WBO really holds no grounds among fans.

While I have to agree about ANY award from the WBO holding no weight with fans Oscar is a pretty fine choice for both in my humble opinion, I am not even a big Oscar fan but when you break it down in a stand back point of view.

Who has been in more high profile bouts then Oscar? He has not won them all but just take a peek at his resume

Since 1997 he has faced Pernell Whitaker, Julio Cesar Chavez, Hector Camacho, Ike Quartey, Felix Trinidad, Shane Mosley, Fernando Vargas, Yori Boy Campas, Bernard Hopkins, Felix Sturm, Ricardo Mayorga and a few more second tier but top ranked names. He has won 4 world titles in 2 weight classes and has only been stopped by Bernard Hopkins.

The man has never been dominated (except maybe by Hopkins depending on how you view things) in a loss. He has generated more money for the sport then any other fighter, and no other man in the last 25 years has a resume that has had so many top tier opponents.

Sure Mayweather is undefeated and Hopkins broke the Middleweight Champion defense record during that time but does either have the quality ink on contracts Oscar has had?

As far as Golden Boy goes ( the promotion company ) in the short time it has been around they have signed more top names then any other single promoter in the business not to mention potential stars,

On their current roster is ODH ( obviously), Hopkins, Barrera, Israel Vasquez, JM Marquez, Rocky Juarez, Joan Guzman, Manny Pacquiao, Kassim Ouma, Rey Bautista, Daniel Ponce De Leon, Juan Lazcano, Oscar Larios, Shane Mosley, Joel Cassamayor, Junior Witter hell I could make a whole thread of their top quality guys.

The man has a scholarship program, he is in the works of building a high school or funding one not sure which but either way.

What other promoter can make the claims of Golden Boy in the area of signing talent so fast and having so many headliner quality fighters under their banner?

I know I sound like his PR guy but like I said I am not a fan of his personally because I think he has become a bit phony and full of himself but you can not deny the facts and fact is Oscar has done more in boxing these last 10 years as a whole then any other single person
