How Will De La Hoya Be Remembered? And...

[tito4life216]

Unjustly robbed..like say DLH losing to Tito! Listen man, i'm glad to see people are just ignoring your ignorant and flame oriented posts. Mabye you don't understand this but Oscar IS NOT MEXICAN!!!!! He is of MEXICAN DESCENT you F'er! He was born and raised in Cali, went to school in Cali and fought for the USA olympic team. He HAS NEVER EVER EVER EVER CLAIMED TO BE MEXICAN!! Instead he has stated over and over that he is extremly proud of his Mexican heritage and fights for "la gente Mexicana". Meaning he fights represnting his heritage. HE DOES NOT FIGHT LIKE A MEXICAN BECAUSE HE trained in an AMERICAN style and adpoted "some" Mexican tactics because of his trainers. Please STFU you ignorant fool.... i got lots of respect for the people on this forum, but your unbelievable. Lets see if you can take it when people call TITO a PUERTO RI-CANT once he loses to WINKY.

Didn't mean to get your panties in a twist, just stating my OPINION, you don't have to agree with it, but it is MY OPINION. ANYWAYS....Tito will not lose and if he does I'm still going to support him because...he has way more heart than your boy Oscar de La CHOCHA!!!

Mexicans had the flags out in record numbers for Trinidad vs. DLH, now they say he aint Mexican, ha, not only is he the best Mexican fighter ever to have Mexican blood, but Trinidad aslo made him turn ***** in his fight with him, to win a just descion, sore losers.

I thought De La Hoya could have been better.He didnt show all his skills.I think he was a better at lightweight and Welterweight, but Jr Middleweight was a big struggle for him.

Eight-time World Champion, and he moved up like 5 weights, isnt that enough? I think you mean he didnt win against Trinidad.

I think moving alot like that kills ur body.I hope he is succesful back at 147, i felt he was stronger at this weight.I give him chances with some of the big names.

He has a solid place in history, but IMO he won't be remembered as great. He had great charisma, but lacked true heart, as evidenced by the Trinidad debacle. Let's not even talk about his little singing effort. I know it's wrong, but in general people remember the mistakes more than they remember the accomplishments.

He will be remembered as a multi-division champion who got a few gift decisions along the way, lost a gift decision, fell so in love with himself he thought he could move all the way up to middleweight and learned he couldn't take a body shot

Seriously, he will definitely be in the IBHOF some day, likely on the first ballot. I think his promotion company, especially now that he's teamed up with Hopkins, will do good things for boxing in the long run.

How has Tito showed he had great heart?? Hes never faced anybody whos bigger and stronger than him before. The only guy he faced where he needed to show heart to get by was against Hopkins, and he didnt ***** out nor he showed heart like a warrior.

At least Oscar faught guys who were bigger than him and didnt handpick guys based on their style like Tito did against Mayorga.

Also how doesnt he have heart did u see the last round against Qartey or the fight against Vargas?? Didnt he move up in weight to fight the middleweight king???

Tito faced B-hop when not a lot of people knew B-Hop i odnt see Tito fighting him now nor did he want a rematch when he got ****d the 1st time. I mean its cool to duck people cause of financial reasons but he doesnt want any business to do with B-Hop now. So i dont know where has he shown a lot of heart can sumone explain that to me

im not saying Tito has heart, but ive seen a lot of posts where they give credit to his heart like he was Gatti.

Actually, B-Hop was probably at his best when Tito fought him. Being that I like DLH, I wouldn't want him to get in the ring with Hopkins at that time, he never would have made it as far as Tito.
