De La Hoya on Pacquiao defeat: 'I was embarassed'

[SigmaMu]

.
I agree with Oscar... it's embarassing...

You think?

[SigmaMu]

I hope he does not retire and he fights Miguel Cotto.



I wonder how Chino would feel about that fight?

lol

[C-Lo]

Win or Lose, Oscar always shows class. I'll always respect him for that!

[fan johnny]

As far as stepping back into the ring goes... It's like a relationship that just don't fit anymore. He needs 'really get over it!' and move on.... Of course he can play the money game and look for guys in the newly formed senior boxing class but that's another thing. Yea, he's in it for the money, but tell me who wouldn't be...

I for one think that Oscar has earned his place in boxing history and deserves every bit of respect. Even facing further embarrassment he finds the 'smart' thing to do and quit. He has given more to boxing than he realizes and more than others realize as well. When he officially retires, I'm sure there will be an astute writer or boxing historian that will lay out the impact that GPP has made for many fighters. Time will have to pass before we can tell how much of an impact he has made to the evolution of boxing as a sport.

Remarkable, he used two months to put into words a justification, as to why his loss to Pacquiao was of no consequence to his inferior talent failing miserably against to those of Pacquiao's, the man who thoroughly beat him.

And, it too is quite remarkable, how just after the beating administered by Pacquiao on him, and despite how badly his bruised lips were, Hoya was able to energetically and with abandon, kiss Pacquiao's ass in the post fight interview with Merchant, if people can still remember the aftermath of the fight.

Boy! The man knows what to say that people want to hear, and he has the skill to do so, cleverly veiled in such a way, it comes out anything but insincere.

The interview is BS. Pure excrementally valued for content.

The man is saying that he quit, not because it was the only way he will walk away from the fight without incurring permanent physical disability from the destruction that his opponent easily inflicted on him. Rather, it was made "for him" by people that cared, albeit unknown to them, that he actually did not care, for the other guy lacked the power to hurt him. This was his message unveiled, unmasked. Pure baloney!

He did not need those two months, because "he" can throw any thought out there in public, in the open and...it will be heard and bought! The skill is remarkable, but not atop the ring!

Anyone will buy it all they want cause Oscar dela Hoya is in their heads anyway, waiting to tell them what they want to hear! Anytime they need to hear it!

[Mr140]

So are you telling me Kan that he is the same Oscar he was when he fought Mosley and Trinidad and that it was not odd at all the weight he was come fight night just to ask love to hear what you have to say about because from what your saying it seems you think it was a peak Oscar.

Always nice to see someone else who doesn't fall for Oscar's fake charms and empty smile.

I'm sure if the stories of reptilian ancestary amongst some of the world's most significant families is true that Oscar will be one of those with cold blood for sure.

You can almost sense the cruel merciless glare of death behind those red brown eyes, and I'm sure behind that Hollywood smile lies a deadly forked tongue.

Maybe the corner had to pull him out in case the mask literally fell off who knows?

True my thoughts might sound like the rantings of a certified crazy who is locked up in a room 24/7, never sees daylight and masturbates furiously every day whilst reading passages from the Bible but what's important here is that I believe them to be true.

[Mr140]

Biblo never got what you and Miles see in Oscar that i dont like what you just said about him might been some what joke as well but i just dont see him that way growing up i watch Holyfeild, Mosley and Oscar and i might just see them through rose colored glasses and might want to think there not fake or used substances they should not have but i guess they may have had there faults still love to see them fight though and just dont understand people dislike for them i not fan of Calzaghe but at the same i dont think he is a fake con man but i dont have the imagenation you must have because that was one hell of a post i rep you just because i dont agree with you but i did find it funny to read though.

I dunno the article was ok, nothing wrong in what he said but I still sense the narcisissim and self importance of the man. He just comes across to me as a man who simply loves to talk about himself.

He'll go into great depths and be very outwardly humble and even agree with Freddie in that 'I can't pull the trigger any more' but he explains things in such a ways as to assume we will all go 'Ah the great Oscar, see how humble and dignified he is.......'

It honestly wouldn't suprise me much if he actually does own a solid gold halo, custom made with his name engraved on it, and that he polishes and wears at home.

I can picture him in a white toga, obviously with golden thread and stitching, reclining on a lounger by his beautiful indoor pool, halo in place, Millie, lying in a lounger next to him resplendent looking in a beautiful Cleopatra type outfit both with hand servants massaging their feet and feeding them grapes whilst a few disciples recite the from the De La Hoya autobiography: American Son, My Story.

You said it very well master Bilbo. I just can't accept his reasons why he was battered easily by Pac. It was as if he's saying that anybody can do that to him that night. Why can't he just admit that Pac was great that night. He was custom-made for Pac's style and he couldn't cope up with Pac, he lost hope early in the fight and Pac took advantage of it. End of story.

I can sense a malicious script in what he said and I can feel that there's no humility in there.

[ross]

You Philipinos cant have much else to worry about, Oscar lost, Manny wan, there it is, be happy.

Oscar isnt saying it wasnt him that quit, hes saying that hes gald his corner stopped it because he wanted to but didnt want to look a pussy by saying it himself, this way he didnt ask, his corner did and he didnt have to go through with another round of Manny hitting him at will.

Thats the other thing, I notice the people with Manny in their avatar or a Philipino flag keep saying how Manny beat him "easy", this is why its odd because Oscar has never been beaten easy, hes a tough bloke, can take a good dig and all of a sudden hes dropping alot of weight and cant do anything.

Its all down to how he fucked his weight up, thats why he was such a favourite going in to the fight because both fighters on good form, Oscar should come out on top, Manny isnt a massive puncher, even at his own weight and he is small and easy to hit, Oscar should have been able to stop him early but he had nothing, Manny had no resistance in front of him but couldnt put Oscar down or stop him, his corner pulled him out.

I hope Manny gets twatted by Hatton now just to annoy all Mannys queer little fans in here, you all talk about what a good win it was so what will you say when Hatton beats him? Will it be congrats to Hatton for beating a fighter who just stopped a legend in the higher weight? Or will it be an excuse?

Id take all the top light welters over Manny, Pauly included and deffinitly, Witter, Bradley, Holt and Torres

[brucelee]

ross,

you know what? if hatton beats pac, I will give him all the credit. I will not be making excuses.

I will be saying this again. Attributing Pac's win over DLH to weight issue is total disrespect for Pac's talent. Why can't you give what is due to Pac?

Pac beating DLH easily is not easy. Yes, I agree with you that DLH is difficult to beat easily.

That makes Pac one of the greatest boxers of all time.

Harsh, but funny!

Personally I see it the other way, I think that article goes some way to restore Oscar's credibilty. He was open and honest and I actually feel a tad sorry for him.

Another positive to take from the interview is that Pac doesn't hit that hard! Granted Oscar is a bigger man than Hatton but it bodes well for Rick that Pac isn't this all powerful super human the Pac fans on here claim.

The naturally bigger men can handle Pac's power!

[XaduBoxer]

Oscar really looked very embarassed...

[ebokers]

Dude, I have never seen Oscar take a beating like that

Trust me all of his soul searching and questioning whether he can pull the trigger any more, the public self doubt etc, the feelings that he should retire becuase he's shot is all complete and utter BULLSHIT!!!

He's already hyping his next fight, he wants us once again to all see how afraid and confused Saint Oscar is, the doubt in Himself, the doubt in His God, just like Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane.

He'll toil with us for a while, his brow furrowed, that anguished, uncertain look on his face, ooh the soul searching.

Then he'll take a very public canoe trip to some little island, or he'll climb a mountain and spend a few days up in the clouds in some small hut telling us he's going there to think and ponder his future.

We'll all think he's up there deep in thought, whereas in actual fact he'll be poncing around in ladies dresses, make up and his halo, looking at himself in the mirror going 'Ain't you the sexy one girlfriend!!' and laughing to Himself at the news reports of his 'should he or shouldn't he fight' predicament.

Stories will trickle down from the mountain, that he's going to quit, he doesn't have it any more, then finally he'll descend.

He'll come out with a 'shock' announcement that he's going to fight on but at junior middleweight. He'll look for the winner of Pacquaio Hatton, and drag them all the way up to 154 lbs for a 'fair' fight, and the adoring public will pay millions and give him another record breaking PPV.

It's all so entirely predictable and that's why I fucking hate Oscar. He's a cash cow, boxing is his Golden Goose and he is the Golden Boy, he knows he can still make millions more as a fighter yet and even embarassingly one sided beatdowns won't disuade his brain washed fans from stumping up more of their hard earned cash and filling the gold stitched trim pockets of Oscar the Great Deceiver.
