Is Oscar Delahoya a Legend ?

[ICB]

in my opinion yes

he fought the best there was plus i also thought he beat mosley & trinidad

Yes but theres also a flipside to that, i thought he lost to Ike Quartey, Felix Sturm. And just about scrapped a draw vs a past his prime Pernell Whitaker.

But then again there's no real shame in that. Well except obviously Felix Sturm because he isn't obviously on same level as other 2 names. But he's still pretty decent fighter and ODLH was in horrible shape for that fight, and he never belonged at Middleweight so we can excuse him that.

As for being a legend, yes of course he is a legend. He was one of the most recognized names in boxing in the 90's. He won an Olympic gold medal, aswell as winning titles in 6 different weightclasses, aswell as fighting the whos/who of boxing.

What else could he have done ?

yeah he defo lost the sturm fight cant remember who i had winning the ike fight tho?

think he got the gift with sturm fight cos he had the big fight with hopkins coming up?

Well even with the last round knockdown, Ike Quartey still won that fight. He busted up ODLH with his jab, and won the famous round where they traded knockdowns. He was 3 points going into the last round, and he fought back enough not to make it a 10-7 round.

So he won by 1 point on my scorecard, but the thing that is total bullshit. Is that even if ODLH wouldn't of knocked Ike Quartey down in the last round, he still would of won how BS is that honestly.

And yes he got the gift against Felix Sturm, because of the big pay day with B-Hop coming up. Still don't make it right though, but thats boxing for you. It can be an ugly sport at times.

....is there anyone who has even seen half of a boxing match that doesn't know his name. Hall of famer of course. His record and fights don't matter as much as what he's done for the sport as a whole.
