Im really interested in this. I had a report but I want more information. I love Boxing and i just want to know what his ameteur record at the olymics and stuff like that?

Answer 1

spouting rubbish? naw i think his assesment of oscar de la hoya's career is right on the money!

Answer 2

Oscar was a amateur standout. He was National Golden Gloves champion in 1989, and the National Amateur Featherweight champ in 1990. In 1991 he was United States Amateur lightweight champion. And, obviously, he won the gold medal in the Olympics in Barcelona 1992, which is why he's called "The Golden Boy". He finished his amateur career with a 223-5 (163 knockouts) record.

He's Mexican-American and grew up in Los Angeles. His mother died of breast cancer shortly after the Olympics, I think.

Interesting fact: He's actually left-handed, but fights in a right-handed stance, which is why his left hook is so good.

I'm sure you can find everything else you're looking for online, but hope this helps.

Answer 6

Listen to A.C. then read Oscar's new book...featured on back of Oscar's Ring magazine (latest issue)...as an amateur he had 223 wins and 163 knockouts, culminate in his win at 1992 Olympics. Turned pro 7 months later. He clearly beat Felix Trinidad and was robbed of decision in his first pro loss. Also beat Moseley in 2nd fight and might have beaten Mayweather. He is a great fighter but perhaps lacks the final barbaric edge and need to win above all else that set Robinson, Ali, Leonard apart. Technically as good as anyone who ever fought. Wants to be boxing's irst billionaire. Has rematch with Mayweather in the works and a new book due out soon (w. Steve Slater ghost writing). Fairly bright for a champion boxer and can be charming. From East L.A. Was the "favorite son" of his folks...but read his story. Huge attraction, unlike any fighter not a heavyweight, with only Ray Robinson's popularity in black America...and with Hollywood...coming close. See Wikipedia and "The Ring"
