[8.8] OSCAR DE LA HOYA 45-39(30)-6 [Middleweight & Light-Middleweight & Welterweight & Light-Welterweight & Lightweight & Super-Featherweight]: Boxing News online - Daily Telegraph
On This Day: Oscar De la Hoya the Golden Boy is Born: An Olympic gold medallist and six-weight world champion from super-featherweight to middleweight, Oscar De la Hoya’s ring moniker of the ‘Golden Boy’ well and truly befitted the man.
A Californian of Mexican descent, De La Hoya – born February 4 1973 – is the highest grossing boxer in history, generating just short of $700 million in pay-per-view income.
After striking gold at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and winning well over 200 bouts as an amateur, the east Los Angeles resident picked up his first professional world title in his 12th outing, stopping the then-unbeaten WBO super-featherweight champion Jimmi Bredahl in 10 rounds.
World successes at lightweight and light-welterweight followed, before Oscar outpointed Pernell Whitaker in 1997 to claim the WBC welter crown. It was at this weight that De la Hoya suffered his first pro defeat, losing a disputed majority decision to IBF ruler Felix Trinidad in what was one of the biggest pay-per-view events in history.
Whilst operating at light-middleweight, the US Olympian contested a memorable world unification battle against the fiery Fernando Vargas. Oscar secured the victory with an 11th round stoppage after dropping his Oxnard rival with a thunderous left hook.
During the same year in which he defeated Vargas (2002), De la Hoya also established his own boxing promotional company Golden Boy Promotions. Today, the outfit remains one of the premier corporations of its kind.
A move up to middleweight saw the ‘Golden Boy’ secure the WBO title over Felix Sturm, although Bernard Hopkins wrested the belt from his grasp three months later with a savage body blow in round nine.
His final world championship win came at light-middleweight, where he returned from a 20 month lay-off to stop Ricardo Myorga in six sessions.
Despite subsequently losing to Floyd Mayweather junior (via tight split decision) and Manny Pacquiao (weight drained, he would be stopped after in two monster box office bonanzas, De la Hoya’s golden legacy has lived on since he retired from the ring in 2009.

Mosley win perverse: Promoter Bob Arum wants nothing more to do with what he described as a sewer sport, and a dismayed Oscar De la Hoya will hire lawyers to investigate what seemed a perverse misreading of his world light-middleweight fight with Shane Mosley in Las Vegas.
All three judges – Anek Hongtongkan of Thailand, Stanley Christodoulou of South Africa and Duane Ford from Las Vegas – scored 115-113, or seven rounds to five, for Mosley.
At the end of 12 high-class rounds I had no doubt that De la Hoya’s more accurate punching had staved off Mosley’s powerful second-half assaults to win – by three points on my card. Daily Telegraph article 15th September 2003 Bob Mee
