Hector Maldonado ok!! But those are the lazy as ones Oscar is not a lazy yet Ik some parents suffer from feeding there kids but that’s what they get for making that mistake my parents made that mistake but worked hard to feed us
Oscar was a beast. In his prime he had all the fundamentals down and he had great abilities as a fighter, very talented. His addictions kept him from possibly being a top 5 fighter of all time. His body didn't age that well. But still is an all time great, up there with the best and he was the first fighter to bring the most amount of money to the sport, only Mayweather ended up generating more and of course it started when he fought Oscar De La Hoya.
Oscar was one of the best p4p fighter of my generation. Only exception would be Roy jones. But Oscar in his prime was almost unbeatable. Only fight he lost in his prime was to a prime undefeated Mosley and he only beat Oscar by 1 round as Oscar gassed a bit down the stretch, but Mosley was also probably using PEDs (later was busted for them), which would make sense how he didn't tire in such a high volume of punches fight. But prime Oscar would have destroyed Floyd, without question. Floyd only beat Oscar by 2 rounds and that version of Oscar had already lost a few times and was about 7 years past his prime!
Are you kidding? Oscar was 7-8 years past his prime, much slower, didn't have the energy, didn't have the same power and lost to Floyd by a SINGLE round on one judges score card in the split decision loss. And before Oscar gassed out, he was winning on the scorecards past the half way point of the fight. Emmuanel stewart who loved FLoyd was commentating and even said he had to admit Floyd was going to lose if he didn't pick it up. And he didn't pick it up, Oscar just slowed down, stopped throwing punches, was more of an upright target and was getting hit easier as he gassed.. This was past his prime when he was fighting drug addiction. But if you don't think a prime, 25-30% faster, stronger, Oscar wouldn't have been able to win a couple more rounds, you're insane. Through Floyd's entire Career, he never fought anything remotely close to a prime Oscar or Mosley. Both those guys in their prime's were absolute beasts, crazy fast with crazy power and granite chins. Prime for prime, I bet both Mosley and Oscar KO Floyd.
Danny, ya all anyone has to do is go watch one of his fights, even the first fight with Mosley and then go watch his fight with Floyd. Look how much slower Oscar is, didn't open up the same with that lightning quick speed and power. He was still relatively quick when he fought Floyd, but wasn't lightning fast anymore. And do believe he was fighting drug addictions at that time also, which would account for him gassing against a fighter like Floyd who puts zero pressure on you (its like Oscar got tired just chasing him around) prime Oscar wouldn't have gotten tired like that. And I remember his trainer for that fight, Roach, after the fight said Oscar just can't pull the trigger anymore. Basically saying he's done, washed up. And really he was. But that just goes to show u how damn good he really was. Took Floyd on in Floyd's prime, was beating him past the half way point of the fight, and really Floyd only took over the fight because Oscar slowed down and gassed a bit.
Flexb123 😂Floyd called all of them out in the early 2000's and they didn't want to fight. It didn't matter how old they were, they still would've lost.
Right. Then hit up the hookers and put on women’s clothing. See the look on his face when he’s like ur thinking about food constantly. Just screams lemme make some stuff up right now and tell everyone what I think they expect to hear. I do believe he suffered but not bc he was hungry.
Coke is water soluble and washes outta ur system in around 2 days. When he fought, pro not the Olympics, I thought they knew when the tests were and they were around the weigh in. More than enuff lead time. Not like random testing at anytime like the UFC now. Just now.
it's one thing to starve out of poverty. something else altogether to do it out of sacrifice. Millions of dollars yeah. but how many people are willing to make those sacrifices and work so hard. I struggle with my weight. I never know Oscar did so much also. New found respect for the guy
@Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews I went on a 9 day water fast once it is the hardest in the first 3 days and actually gets easier.Oscar was still training though which I was not doing so that would be even harder.
I love Oscar's disciplined mind, you should take this into anything you do in life like making money. Don't go spend it on temporary pleasures, save it up to finally have enough to invest in something good. Suffer.
Larry Villarreal - agreed. why dont these guys just fight at their natural weight? i can understand losing 5 or 10 pounds for a major money fight but to frequently fight at a smaller weight is odd.
that's exactly what I think, if you want to make a weigh to have advantage over other fighters, so don't cry like a bitch and do it. If you don't wanna suffer so fight around your natural weigh and you'll be fine
It really is crazy what people have to do in order to make weight in these sports. Is the exact opposite of any proper nutrition that a top athlete should have. Takes a major toll on your body.
I hated oscar as a promoter he seems shady. But that interview showed how passionate he is about boxing from a fighters perspective and you gotta respect that. I fought as an amateur and the stuff he said about thinking about food and starving resonated with me. Also about not being able to get up from nerves, oh man. I remember having so many nervous ticks just waiting for my match out of like 20 matches. One of my coaches hated me because i would get so edgy and irritable before a fight he stopped working with me.
I love Floyd and as much as he will admit to admit it he adore de la Hoya he looked up to him and always will Oscar didn’t play it smart like my man mayweather with the power business moves .. but both are all time greats .. it’s good to know both like McDonalds
+Ahmed James I was reading and the diets and workouts. The regular diet during training is difficult enough. I don't see myself pretending to make weight for a fight if I'm not actually fighting. it's not easy.
As much as Floyd hated Oscar he once said he was his idol and keep track on the similarities inside and outside the ring ..but my man Floyd ran with the bad guy look and it got the media attention as the bad man that couldn’t get beat .. two legends
No person on this planet should have to be without food exclaiming , especially so when done on purpose , if done this way, and have said so. Give your kindness of whom are less fortunate. Feed them
I don't understand why many boxers complain about how they suffer to make weigh for a fight, if they do it it's because they want to get some advantage over smallers guys, so if you don't want to have that "advantage", you gotta sacrifice something, isnt it?
Good shit Dela HOYA I went to shurr high school! I remeber when you fought ruelas.we were all against you..you r a good man bruh.! I saw u at that lucky store from back in the day now is EL SUPER
I remember in 5th grade I started boxing and I had no left jab, my brother tied my right and just threw jabs 100 at a time. I got a good left in a week. Good for me me not hood enough to make money.
The way he talks, its like hes always looking for sympathy from the viewers. He sighs before answering a questions as if hes the only fighter ever who struggled.
have a friend who was boxing in hs and is a pro today that would go to lunch eating only lettuce and spinach with a bit of lemon and oil to last him the next 10 hrs
Are we supposed to feel sorry for the "suffering" ? How about not fighting in such low divisions?noone is forcing them, its the fightera decision. Thats why, after weigh ins, fighters are always at least 15 pounds heavier.
I tried eating nothing for a month with just water and that is not smart to do but I cut 20 lbs. Fruit is not a smart idea to eat while cutting. Oscar Cut weight for a few reasons. When I was in my teens so many people didn’t like Oscar. Haha haters paid to watch and hope Oscar would lose. Some fans really think if you lose once you are not as good as you were before.
"In order to win, you got to suffer."
Facts
To make it in anything you need to work hard, suffer I guess. Just how it is.
Scott Gibson true maybe he should just fight at 154 maybe he wouldn’t suffer as much but oscar is a legend
Plenty of ways to win without suffering. Winning in and of itself, is a lack of suffering.
He starved but in the end... made millions of dollars... some people starved for nothing...
Hector Maldonado ok!! But those are the lazy as ones Oscar is not a lazy yet Ik some parents suffer from feeding there kids but that’s what they get for making that mistake my parents made that mistake but worked hard to feed us
I don't understand your logic. I sense some envy...
He staved and faught for people who payed for it blood sweat and tears even broken bones
Damn you going to do me like that
Pull My Finger damn you’re ignorant
you can love him you can hate him its all good, but oscar de la hoya is a champ
0:21 interviewer's reaction like, "tell me more how you sucked on a orange."
Erick Vazquez 😂 😂 😂 😂
he had to hide his boner
I hope he sees this comment
Lmfao! Dayum..
😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭
Oscar is a man with a lot of secrets..
and probably are gonna go to the grave with.
Reginald Barkley yeah u just know this fucker has secrets
Reginald Barkley i bet floyde has more...😏
victoria secrets?
Coccaine is a hell of a drug lol
I respect Oscar seems like he has a lot to talk about and express. Seems very passionate when he speaks
As a wrestler, you can connect with the weight cutting and the "starving yourself" before a match
PreskoLove yes sir. I starved and suffered tremendously minus the millions of dollars for wrestling
Starving and butterflies ! Lol Everything he said down to the tee !
Oscar was a beast. In his prime he had all the fundamentals down and he had great abilities as a fighter, very talented. His addictions kept him from possibly being a top 5 fighter of all time.

De la hoya aint missin no meals nowadays!
“…but when that bell rings, it’s game on”, and that smile when he says it, dude really loved the sport!
Crazy what a legend I think boxing is one the hardest sports 💯
He would just do coke and lose his appetite foh.
Right. Then hit up the hookers and put on women’s clothing. See the look on his face when he’s like ur thinking about food constantly. Just screams lemme make some stuff up right now and tell everyone what I think they expect to hear. I do believe he suffered but not bc he was hungry.
Nope because they test u

@@junlee6663 what type of coke?
Lol. Cocaine.
great interview. a reminder that you have to dedicate and work so much to get great
Oscar was a great fighter...he always wanted to fight the best and go into deeper water. I respect him a lot. As for being a promoter...not so much.
Oscar is such a lovable guy
Boy's nail game is on point.
His most historically epic fight ever, was when he DEMOLISHED Fernando Vargus. My God he stole that kid's soul in that fight!
Vargas was on steroids and de la hoya was on the cocaine energy
it's one thing to starve out of poverty. something else altogether to do it out of sacrifice. Millions of dollars yeah. but how many people are willing to make those sacrifices and work so hard. I struggle with my weight. I never know Oscar did so much also. New found respect for the guy
give me mill ill do a month in fact i did that when started off after college broke college grad crap studio
He's not the only boxer to do that. Its called cutting.
@Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews I went on a 9 day water fast once it is the hardest in the first 3 days and actually gets easier.Oscar was still training though which I was not doing so that would be even harder.
Now Oscar weighs 230 lbs. Lol
Yeah but he has a million dollars for every pound, What's in your wallet?
He got that $$$$$$$$$$$$$
Anthony Mcken naw
he should of just went sumo on the big Macs and went super heavy and a few novelty fights with butterbean.
I hate to suffer when I work out cause of the burn but when I look in the mirror when I take a shower I’m like it was worth it lol😂😭
Haters gonna hate. Proof that this guy was great! I'm a poet, din't even know it..
I love Oscar's disciplined mind, you should take this into anything you do in life like making money. Don't go spend it on temporary pleasures, save it up to finally have enough to invest in something good. Suffer.
Mannn shut up
@@sjneptune2947 LOL
You don't have to suffer if your fighting at your natural weight
Larry Villarreal

infoguy1978 size advantage, simple.
Lol and u have boxed be4 lol he'll no...
Larry Villarreal 100% on point!
that's exactly what I think, if you want to make a weigh to have advantage over other fighters, so don't cry like a bitch and do it. If you don't wanna suffer so fight around your natural weigh and you'll be fine
Use to chop wood now chops fat rails, my man.
Wow . His trainer couldn't train a southpaw . That's weak
He started fighting at 5. It was probably the guy who swept the gym. Asshole!
HAHAHA
But he ended up having a successful career
Marcelo Flores best thing that can happen to a southpaw.
I'd say it worked out. That left hand jab and hook out front was his magic.
It really is crazy what people have to do in order to make weight in these sports. Is the exact opposite of any proper nutrition that a top athlete should have. Takes a major toll on your body.
True Legend!
A true all time great fighter. As a man now though I have no time for him which is sad 🥊
I hated oscar as a promoter he seems shady. But that interview showed how passionate he is about boxing from a fighters perspective and you gotta respect that.

That coach was too sensitive
Graham holds out a sliced orange to De La Hoya
De La Hoya: 🤔
Bensinger: 😃
Old school training is still the best.
When he fought Pacquiao at 145 he was slow drained on all aspect
I love Floyd and as much as he will admit to admit it he adore de la Hoya he looked up to him and always will Oscar didn’t play it smart like my man mayweather with the power business moves .. but both are all time greats .. it’s good to know both like McDonalds
Dude went skiing before this interview if you know what I mean
That part about not wanting to fight is really interesting.
Oscar cuídate Dios te bendiga por siempre
Big Macs Yum!!!!! The struggle is real I remember having to kill myself to make 125 for my boxing matches
what about being malnourished from not eating enough and not getting what the body needs daily? Doesn't that make you weaker?
+jpratx you depend on rehydrating
fake
+Ahmed James I was reading and the diets and workouts. The regular diet during training is difficult enough. I don't see myself pretending to make weight for a fight if I'm not actually fighting. it's not easy.

G O A T 🐐
That’s why you fight at your appropriate weight folks.
Luv u oscar im 21 and i can only hope to achieve what u did
Those oranges got him into a dress, literally lol
MEXICAN/AMERICAN champ 🥊🥊
As much as Floyd hated Oscar he once said he was his idol and keep track on the similarities inside and outside the ring ..but my man Floyd ran with the bad guy look and it got the media attention as the bad man that couldn’t get beat .. two legends
No person on this planet should have to be without food exclaiming , especially so when done on purpose , if done this way, and have said so. Give your kindness of whom are less fortunate. Feed them
Very interesting
All because fighters don't want to fight in their natural weight, so the fight in lower weight classes to have a size advantage.
has this guy never heard of dehydration. much easier technique because you can rehydrate your body the night before the fight
This was the 90's dummy sport science wasn't like that
Someone at 4:23 fucking up production with that squeaky door!
He killed himself to fight Pacquiao at 147.
He was chopping wood and running in boots because Rocky did it in Rocky 4 and beat Drago
is why fight at that weight class. unless its a big money fight i've never understood why fighters dont just fight at their natural weight.
I don't understand why many boxers complain about how they suffer to make weigh for a fight, if they do it it's because they want to get some advantage over smallers guys, so if you don't want to have that "advantage", you gotta sacrifice something, isnt it?
Good shit Dela HOYA I went to shurr high school! I remeber when you fought ruelas.we were all against you..you r a good man bruh.! I saw u at that lucky store from back in the day now is EL SUPER
Love boxing , HATE cutting .
I remember in 5th grade I started boxing and I had no left jab, my brother tied my right and just threw jabs 100 at a time. I got a good left in a week. Good for me me not hood enough to make money.
The way he talks, its like hes always looking for sympathy from the viewers. He sighs before answering a questions as if hes the only fighter ever who struggled.
ro ro your over thinking. thats just his way of expresing himself. nobody is the same
No! He's just being honest about how he feels.
No, it's called thinking before you speak. Reflecting on some times that weren't exactly happy times (starving to make weight)
He says every champion goes through that pain, not only him
Alex R Yeah, this ro ro guy from a yr ago is a fuckin idiot
Good shit.
make your jokes but you're getting insider knowledge into what a world champion goes through
choppin wood for the lats bro
Ha I never understood why I was chopping wood...
norman bates for power that's the main point of chopping wood
If Oscar would have faught left handed he would have never lost
Now he sucks Canelo
Ikr
rami rawdah jealous of what? Oscar's high heels? 😂
Who is also orange 😂
mean but well played Sir and expected and logic also maybe necessary and inevitable
😂😂😂😂😂😂
have a friend who was boxing in hs and is a pro today that would go to lunch eating only lettuce and spinach with a bit of lemon and oil to last him the next 10 hrs
Suffer to make a lower weight then rehydrate and step in the ring larger than the opponent. Still gotta respect his boxing credentials
Competed for years. That weight cutting part sucks shit, at any sport.
Why'd he keep exhaling before answering questions??? Wtf
It’s called fasting Oscar, fasting.
Who goes into a fight starving
Chopping of wood and running with army boots? He got that from ali
The greatest!!!!
Bullshit. Floyd.
...and would wear wigs with fish nets as well.
Where r u at Graham
Damn Ryan Garcia 2017-18 looks exactly like the young pretty Oscar body haircut everything
Empire 24 yes he does
wendy benitez For real. Ryan has more speed and power
Some people don't feel hungry or fear if they are under the effect of any drug.

og boxer delahoya
Eating just an orange per day is the way to lose fight after fight.
Lotta cats dont eat 1, 2 or 3 days before competition.
This interview is brought to you by McDonald's 🍔 🍟 🍦
he didnt look like he wanted to give the interview
That boy sniffed till he made weight
I tried eating nothing for a month with just water and that is not smart to do but I cut 20 lbs. Fruit is not a smart idea to eat while cutting. Oscar Cut weight for a few reasons.

5-10 130 lb! Damn!
So he can fit in the fishnet stockings?
Fishnets and coke baby.
Thats the secret
Chopping wood is good? For what kind of punch is chopping good?
Hooks and straight punches. All depends on how you chop
Also strengthens the fist 🤛
boots or high heels!! 🤣😂😂
No wonder Oscar was such a hard puncher, he used to chop wood.
He was 5 10 fighting at 135? Just so he could fight smaller opponents. Lol. Come on guys. Let’s start fighting guys your size 😂
Si hubiera una pelea o una apuesta entre esos 3 yo decido a OSCAR
Wow...
I didn't recognize del la hiya without his fishnets.
If you have to do this to your body it's an obvious sign you shouldn't be fighting at that weight, weight cutting needs to be banned
who doesn't have alot of secrets
Oscar has a really giant head doesn't he?
Heres a novel idea...Fight in your actual weight class.
interviewer talk too much
