De La Hoya carries himself well with the public speaking, but he's not near as sharp as people seem to think he is.

Regarding performance enhancing drugs, Shane Mosley's already been mentioned, but how come no suspicions about Golden Boy Promotions' Bernard Hopkins ?
Pretty amazing that a man of his age has been able to go so high in weight at an advanced age and still defeat top fighters.

Or Golden Boys new acquisition, David Haye, who's come up from Cruiserweight and is now a Heavyweight belt holder.
Quite the physique on Haye, quite a bit bigger than he used to be and still with zippo body-fat.

Hey, make no mistake:
I'm a HUGE fan of all 3 of these warriors, but with so much drug talk from Golden Boy about Pacquiao, why no drug talk about his guys, Mosley, Hopkins, and Haye who've added a lot more beef than Pacquiao's 4 pounds in 4 years.


Or even Golden Boys venture into MMA co-promoting Affliction which folded in August amidst a steroid scandal involving Josh Barnett.
First choice to replace Barnett to fight Fedor was The Phenom Vitor Belfort who also has a positive steroid test in his background.

De La Hoya's just bitter because he'll never get the fan-support of the Mexicans which he so desperately craves, and instead of looking in the mirror at the guy who concede on his stool, he blames Pacquiao instead.

Hey, it was his own foolish decision to fight Pacquiao who was like half his size anyway; if he wanted to finally earn the respect of the Mexican people, he should have fought Tony Margarito instead and went out on his shield.
