Yes. He would've continued fighting if he defeated Pac.
No. Coz he's gonna focus more in promoting.
I don't know

it's official, DLH is retired
Oscar De La Hoya announces retirement from boxing - ESPN
gonna miss seeing him fight, but understand fully that if he continued it would not be the same DLH that was a great. Good luck to him as a promoter and hope he does keep up the good work, honestly might be one of the few people that gets inducted into the hall of fame for 2 categories

Re: it's official, DLH is retired
I'm not a fan of his, but there's no denying he created mainstream interest like no other fighter since Tyson, and in a much healthier way.
Watching Pac tee off on without response him was a sad sight and it's unfortunate that was his last moment in the ring.
He did great things for the sport of boxing and deserves to be remembered as a great fighter who always sought to take on the best.

Well,that was a fun ride.Good move on his part.Always nice to see them from round 1 to the hard end.I was not a fan but came to respect his ablities inside and outside of the ring.Has nothing but mega promotional status ahead and please do not turn Ring Magazine into GQ light.He'll always be 'The Colgate Kid' to me

Re: it's official, DLH is retired
What would have this guy done to Mayweather Jr. if they met when he could still "pull the trigger"? (Freddie Roach)

Re: it's official, DLH is retired
the same thing everyone else who could pull the trigger . Loose. As far as oscar now that he's retired i hope people will give him credit for what he has done instead of what he didn't do or do the way fans would like. Kick back and spend that money oscar. No use making it till you're too old and punch drunk to enjoy it.Originally Posted by fan johnny

After his last effort there really was no other option.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

Re: it's official, DLH is retired
Good, he will be remembered well. Now he can focus on running his business.
Cheers Oscar, it was the right move.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

Phuk retirement, I want to see ODLH as a gate keeper.
So, who gets the credit for sending ODLH to the convalescent home?
The Human Buzz! Has retired more fighters than Social Security.
Hatton is next!

Re: it's official, DLH is retired
i defended you in the other thread but this is just to show DLH respect he actually deserves, and i wouldn't be laughing too hard seeing how Cotto right now can be facing jail time for his scuffle with his unclePhuk retirement, I want to see ODLH as a gate keeper.

Re: it's official, DLH is retired
It's about time, although I'd like to have seen him go toe to toe with Chavez jr. maybe even get a bit bloodied up as a result.It'd be a nice way to reflect on the JCC fight.
If you hear a voice within you saying that I am not a painter, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.

Re: it's official, DLH is retired
I will always remember him in the ring for his wars with Quartey and Vargas. His career up until around 2003 was phenomenal and his legacy shouldnt be diminished because of his last fight in 17 years as a professional. Even though he was "past it" from the Felix Sturm fight to now, he still managed a few good performances and that is an accomplishment in itself. He made records, broke records, fought the best, and at one time was the best. I dont think any other fighter of his time fought as many HOFers or future HOFers. Its been fun watching him through the years. A true legend.
