IMO.

He can't fight at Middle - he avoided Winky like the plague at Lt Middle.

Kassim Ouma is at Lt Middle

Margarito - Judah at Welterweight!

No easy belts to pick up =no more Oscar De La Chicken Anna Kournikova Hoya!


You have to agree!

Nah, he'l fight again when he chooses but maybe not against any of those guys. There's too much easy money to be made for a businessman like DLH to turn down.

Then we will know he really is a chicken!

He usually goes for the easiest fights unless pushed - even then - he falls over from a body shot!

Ummm here goes,

Whittikar, Chavez, Trinidad, Moseley, Vargas, Ruelas, Molina, Hernandez, Leija (at Lightweight), Gatti (as a comeback fight!), Hopkins, Quartey.

He was pushed to fight all of these.

Blooming Chicken!

Here it comes the reply.

Whittikar was too old - He was still the number 1 ranked fighter in the devision.

Chavez was too old - He was still the number 1 ranked fighter in the devision.

Varags was shot - He was still a geniune world champion.

Moseley was too small - But went on too look impressive as a Welter

Hopkins was ummm beaten by Roy Jones.

Exactly, DLH fought everybody.

Lets see: Hopkins, Tito, Mosely, Vargas, Gatti, Chavez, Molina, Paez, Whittaker, Camacho, Rivera, Gonzalez etc etc etc.

You're right; the man is a fornicating disgrace to the sport!

BTW, how many body shots have you taken from possible P4P all-time greats who are naturally 15-20 pounds heavier than you recently...?

I can understand that some people don't like him (he's richer, better looking and more talented than everyone on these boards except me... ) but I just can't get my head around the idea that he's a 'chicken'. Each to their own, I s'pose...

To suggest the man has shown fear of any fighter is ridiculous, he was fighting way outside of his natural weight class when Hopkins stoppied him. The problem he has is that having risen as far in weight as he can go there are no major challenges for him now.

and not only that, he FOUGHT Hopkins. He stood infront of him and fought. He didn't try to move around and did what he did in the end of the Trinidad fight. He tried to fight Hopkins - and for me possibly gave Hopkins his toughest fight in his championship reign.

Thats why I have said, if (and there is no chance of it happening) DLH vs Hopkins II was announced I would buy it, cause I think DLH wouldn't fight like that again.

I think DLH vs Mormeck is the most likely fight for him judging by his appearance in recent Golden boy shows.

To the DLH bottom lovers( Muckey beard).

DLh always was a carefully moved individual.

Name me one guy where the odds were stackjed against him?

He was favourite in all his fights and lost the 1 when he was not !


Legend if ever there was one!



Mosley. 0-2
Trinidad 0-1
Hopkins 0-1
Sturm...1-0!

Legend if ever there was one!

Winky Wright - who won ?

He has never been undisputed so - he did NOT fight everyone!

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

Whitaker was robbed.

Chavez was old

Vargas was shot ( Trinidad saw to that)!

Mosley was too small but still beat him!

Hopkins was 102 and still beat him the 1st time he showed anything KFC Hoya bailed out!

Gatti was Toooooo snall - he is still a Lt welter FFS and gongto get battered by PBF!

You saw on Saturday why KFC Hopya would not fight Winky !

Don't say - brought nothing to the table - he was the MAN !..

What did Patrick Charpentier bring ?.

Mosley and Trinidad have more balls than Kfc Hoya!

Conviently missed Ike Quartey.

Where was Trinidad's fight with Quartey!

Never have I said DLH is a legend in the making, and yes he lost (some controversially) more huge Super fights against fighters in their peak than he won. However, you question "his balls". My definition of someone with "balls" is someone who fights in these super fights, not necessarily someone who wins Superfights.

Castillo lost to Corrales and to Mayweather and never rematched Johnston after their controvesially draw in their second fight. In his biggest matches he has come up short, shall we question his balls?

Castillo has more balls than DLH!

Dlh wanted no part of Mosley after he beat him until Mosley was damaged.

Same with Vargas!

That bodyshot from Bhop showed Dlh to be less than a warrior if you ask me!

Pounding the canvas was so funny!

Quartey was out of the ring 19months due to dlh cancelling twice.. remember that?.

He is a good fighter - but most would be viewed as fgood if the had the path he took.

As for putting Bhop at Number 1 P4P based on Beating DLh....Dlh should not have even been in the top 10 at the time !

Sorry DLH is a legend

has won numerous world titles and has fought Whittaker, Quartey, Trinidad, Hopkins, Mosley

Thats good enough for me

the whole chicken de la hoya thing is a sick joke perpuated by americans who think if you don't fight like hagler and hearns then you are pussy

I believe he also picked up a gold medal at something called the Olympics. That in itself is a fairly notable achievement.

Since this seems to be the list thread:

Mosely got gifts in both fights

Tito absolutely did not beat De La Hoya

Chavez was the top guy at the weight - saying 'oh he was too old' after DLH beat him is bullshit. That's boxing mate. The younger fighters eventually come up and knock off the older ones.

Regardless, the point I objected to wasn't the fact that you think DLH is no good, or even that you think he's been matched carefully. It was that you think he's gutless. The former is your opinon, and your welcome to it. The latter is patent rubbish and you know it. Lets not even start on the fact that people with no balls don't climb in with that many good-to-great fighters over that many weight classes. People with no balls don't fight for a living, full stop.

mickeybeard wrote:Mosely got gifts in both fights

I though Mosley won the first and De La Hoya won the second, but they were both close.

mickeybeard wrote:Tito absolutely did not beat De La Hoya

I agree 100%

As for De La Hoya as a fighter? I think he is one of the best fighters of the last 20 years.

I think there are a lot of trolls on this board who like to be contravercial and slate fighters just becuase it is genarally accepted that they are good fighters. No one can be 100% sereouse in calling DLH a chicken they are probably just reacting to other people ullegising about them.

Still better than the current sean though.

I agree.

DG's constant De La Hoya rants are hilarious - I've rarely met individuals with such a biased, personal agenda against one fighter. De La Hoya isn't an all-time great, as he's come up short too many times against other modern 'greats', but he's head and shoulders above most modern day fighters.
To rally from a heavy knockdown against the naturally bigger man, Quartey, to stage that thrilling rally in the twelth, was a great performance, and before you pull out the ring rust excuse again, it didn't seem to affect Tsyzu against Mitchell recently
To use just one more example, just name me one fighter, before or since, who destroyed Jesse James Leija in the manner De La Hoya did?
I also believe he convincingly won the fight against Trinidad and edged the rematch with Mosley.
Stop letting your personal dislike of him get in the way of an objective opinion of the man mate.
Sure, he's been carefully matched, but no-one's been more carefully matched than the likes of Hatton, yet Ricky, excellent fighter though he is, will struggle to win a single belt in one weight division, let alone win multiple belts in multiple divisions - you can only do that if you're something really special, no matter how good your match-maker is.

Job done!

I don;t hate anyone in this world( except my boss ).


Dlh is a lot of hype imo.

Yeah, I tend not to read his posts. Usual diatribe i'd imagine.

Read them - you might learn something!

In fact - START a thread yourself!!!!

Is there some sort of exchange scheme between the current and British boards?
