Is Oscar Delahoya a Legend ?

[Onix]

There is absolutely no doubt that Oscar is a Legend of the sport. To argue it would be ignorant of his accomplishments and contributions to boxing.

Who has generated more revenue in boxing? Who has put on more HUGE PPV extravaganzas? More mega fights?

The guy was one of the greatest things to ever happen to boxing, and for all his charisma and good looks, he was a WARRIOR inside the ring and he had world-class skills. The guy is a legend for sure.

Damn... It only took one post in between this one and mine, to see the PPV and good looks arguments regurtitated once again.

Haha Tito take a pill. Tito Trinidad is a legend too...only because he got to share the ring with Oscar that is.

I know Toney is a favorite fighter but why is Toney a legend and Oscar isn't? Oscar fought waaay more top flight opposition then Toney, I love Toney but no way would his name pop into my head before Oscar's when recalling fighters from their era. Oscar had so many more career defining fights, not to mention he feasted on much better competition between the big fights, it's not fair to classify Toney as a legend and not Oscar imo.

And Tito I'm sorry but the fact that he was a draw definitely means something, it means he had people talking and had the casual fan talking probably more then any fighter not named Tyson. That's a big deal, he's always going to be remembered more then great fighters who didn't have the same buzz as him, like Toney for example.

Plus he made good fights, he was very very rarely in a dull fight. Even against lesser opposition like Oba Carr, Darrel Coley, Arturo Gatti, John John Molina etc. he always provided really exciting fights. That has to count for the legend status because his fights were always an event.

I mean it's subjective, some people have 1000 legends and some have 20, but Oscar will be talked about as much as anyone from the era in 20-30 years and for me that qualifies as legendary. There is no right or wrong here because the term 'legendary' is subjective and not strictly defined.
