The photos, which appear to feature the former boxing champ in a fishnet body suit, black pumps and a wig, were posted by X17 Online last Wednesday.
However, at least one photo expert reckons the offending pics show signs of being doctored.
“Whoever retouched these photos has mediocre skills in photoshop,” Jeff Sedlik, professor of photography and forensic expert in photography, tells Access Hollywood.
“It looks like they spent a lot of time to put one over on everybody, but didn’t quite make it. When you zoom in and look at this pixel by pixel you can tell they’ve been retouched.”
“An expert with sufficient skills could retouch these images so that nobody could tell. Somebody spent a lot of time attempting to mask their work. They were looking for a pay day and it looks like they got it.”
Shortly after theracy snaps were posted online, an attorney for De La Hoya released a statement, claiming they were 'phony':
“Oscar does know the woman who we believe is selling these photographs to the tabloid media. But he assures me that the photos are phony. He has asked me to pursue his legal remedies. Because we are contemplating legal action, Oscar will make no further comment at this time.”
However, X17 continue to stand by their photos.
In a statement on their web site, they said: “regarding the possible Photoshopping of the images – we got a letter from Oscar’s lawyer today and while they’d love us to take down the pix, they didn’t initially dispute their authenticity!”

If one is fake, they're all fake.
