that's so true...it tells you just how good or great a fighter is.. most try to pad their records in hopes of a bs title shot....they don't give the #1 contender the automatic shot anymore.....so get some quick wins against some bums and go for it..Oscar is class through and through..most boxers should learn from him...Go for it early..find out if you have what it takes..get out if you don't....If only that was how it was. boxing would always be exciting...to many overmatched boring fights...

Oscar is one of the main reasons that I fell in love with boxing.

I think that now he's one of the more unappreciated fighters of our generation.

A few of my bro's always thought that he was a piz-nussy till I showed them his old fights...even the Vargas fight...Oscar showed his greatness.

Oscar (I hope) will destroy Mayorga & then just retire...because in the end...I still think that Floyd beats him.

Respect to Oscar...he's made boxing beautiful.

can't be too jealous of his looks, when it's fight time he looks awefully skinny and when not fighting he blows up

kinda like a blowfeesh

I don't like Oscar, and Mayorga is gonna whip him. But he has fought and beaten many great fighters. He and Miguel Cotto have been brought up the best of any prospects I have ever seen.

Oscar was easy to market. Alot of guys aren't. The lower weight classes needed someone like SRL, for the public to fall in love with. Oscar was that guy. Him being a for real fighter makes it great. Looks and sex appeal sell anything. Oscar sold boxing to people who don't like violence. At least he can fight, and he's not an Anna Kournikova.

YES HE DID, they just didnt have a loosing record at the time he faced them

Here's another interesting fact about de la hoya. In Sunday morning he will have back to back knockout losses like former p4p king Roy Jones Jr had. And just as their last fight the knockout(by Tarver) was right on the button, the knockout for De La hoya(hopkins..Roy victim) was right on the button. Comparison...coincidence? no

Just a knockout

I love Jones, but I see Mayorga bein similiar to a Glen Johnson. Hungry pressure fighter, takin on a guy whose heart is not totally in it anymore.
