"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.
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..
😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭
you can love him you can hate him its all good, but oscar de la hoya is a champ
He kept it real. He actually admitted he got nervous before every single fight. Props
Every fighter in the world gets nervous. This is nothing new lol
@@Lacuadraboxeo. yeah, but they don’t admit it and act all tough once they win.
Any of them that say they didn't/don't are full of shit.
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
I'm 5'9" I'm 204 now. I remember before joining the Marine Corps I was 210 and I had to drop to 190 in order to join. I got out weighing 167 lbs. 3 months in basic training. I cannot even imagine training to fight at 130.
Michael Estrada who gives a shit
Michael Estrada damn what’s with all the hate :(
Courtney Sutherlin then why respond moron?
damn i was 6"4 270 and had to drop 40 for the marines but was lean as hell.
i give a shit
De la hoya aint missin no meals nowadays!
I really enjoy your interviews
Fighters should focus on properly training and being healthy mentally and physically, instead of worrying about weight. Fight, train, and whatever weight you land at, thats the weight you stay with. Its bad enough your fighting for your life, then you have to worry about the fucking weight. I remember when i fought amatuer, i went from like 250 to like 212, then 195, I was fighting all the time, training all day, running non stop, even in the winter. I was trying to eat healthy and trying to cut my calories...my knees and my legs were just non existent. My knees and legs were always hurting, always in pain. Cant believe it now, honestly, i would have been better just at 225 lbs, id be fit, but not killing myself with overtraining and undereating. EAT HEALTHY, TRAIN HARD, FIGHT SMART, DONT WORRY ABOUT WEIGHT!.
great interview. a reminder that you have to dedicate and work so much to get great
I watched all of his fights and every time was fun to watch. Even when he lose still good fighter to watch
I respect Oscar seems like he has a lot to talk about and express. Seems very passionate when he speaks
my favorite fighter im your biggest filipino fan although im just a kid in his prime back in the 90's i know him already... he is so humble discpline...
Crazy what a legend I think boxing is one the hardest sports 💯
This guy is a beast, but if you look at him, he looks so soft. He doesn't look like a tough guy.
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!
Flexb123 Floyd wouldn't have lost.
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.
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 !
5'10 and 130 lbs... that's insane.
Right lol. That’s fucking nuts to me
I’m 5,10 135 how’s that crazy I’m not even that skinny
@@bigpimpricky6977 That's because you're a soyboy.
I’m 5’11 and walk around at 152 but I’ll be competing at 141 weight class. Him being an inch shorter isn’t too crazy
True. I'm not even a big guy and I'm 5'7 and 130 lbs.
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.
Great video 👍
“…but when that bell rings, it’s game on”, and that smile when he says it, dude really loved the sport!
True Legend!
I love Oscar , he is a humble guy, salute!
Oscar is such a lovable guy
he was natural lefty, the secret to why his left hook was so devastating.
Boy's nail game is on point.
Good shit.
Very interesting
A class gent respect
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
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😂😭
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
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.
@@junlee6663 what type of coke?
Lol. Cocaine.
I totally understand everything that he just said about everything
I always come back to this comments section for a good laugh
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 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 remember that most fighters would walk to the ring and exude extreme cockiness. When Oscar walked to the ring he looked like a condemned man walking to the electric chair.
Old school training is still the best.
A true all time great fighter. As a man now though I have no time for him which is sad 🥊
G O A T 🐐
That part about not wanting to fight is really interesting.
he should of just went sumo on the big Macs and went super heavy and a few novelty fights with butterbean.
Graham holds out a sliced orange to De La Hoya
De La Hoya: 🤔
Bensinger: 😃
Luv u oscar im 21 and i can only hope to achieve what u did
Now I want a big mac
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.
Use to chop wood now chops fat rails, my man.
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.
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
Dude went skiing before this interview if you know what I mean
When he fought Pacquiao at 145 he was slow drained on all aspect
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.
Those oranges got him into a dress, literally lol
Haters gonna hate. Proof that this guy was great! I'm a poet, din't even know it..
You don't have to suffer if your fighting at your natural weight
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.
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
Wou running with the boots
Oscar cuídate Dios te bendiga por siempre
He he definitely flamboyant! Look at that finger pretty sure he's thinking about putting it somewhere!
choppin wood for the lats bro
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
I've been watching De la Hoya for a long time and something seems off with him in this interview. I hope he can get back to bing in a good place physically and mentally. Relapsing is a very real thing
Rez I think it's because he's into fishnets again 🙃
Yo your comment was so random it's got me dying LOL
I am left handed and was trained to box orthodox and my left jab is also powerful.
Matt Chow Nice, good for you man switched stances about a year ago.. best decision I ever made my jab is incredible, I'm 0-2 orthodox, 0-0 as a Sothpaw can't wait to test it in a real match though
Two chumps taking about fight night again
Matt - Of course it was. How was your right?
you want an orange...
No one cares
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.
That coach was too sensitive
Wow...
Where r u at Graham
That’s why you fight at your appropriate weight folks.
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.
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.
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
👍👍😊😚
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.
Kuma in Kana yo mama fake
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
130 lbs 5”11 dam. I couldn’t do it. How do you not pass out after the weigh in
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
Graham Bensinger should be my therapist
Someone at 4:23 fucking up production with that squeaky door!
All because fighters don't want to fight in their natural weight, so the fight in lower weight classes to have a size advantage.
he didnt look like he wanted to give the interview
Starved himself by getting fisted
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
Suffer to make a lower weight then rehydrate and step in the ring larger than the opponent. Still gotta respect his boxing credentials
og boxer delahoya
His left hand looks so much bigger than the right.
Ha I never understood why I was chopping wood...
norman bates for power that's the main point of chopping wood
make your jokes but you're getting insider knowledge into what a world champion goes through
He was pretty much fasting. Which lots of athletes and fitness people do these days(intermittent fasting).
Some people don't feel hungry or fear if they are under the effect of any drug.
He is making up for it now. lol
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
That boy sniffed till he made weight
Love boxing , HATE cutting .
I won't join the Oscar De la Hoya hate campaign. It's not my style. I wish him the best seems like a nice man
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
The greatest!!!!
Bullshit. Floyd.
Should have focused on long distance running
If Oscar would have faught left handed he would have never lost
Desire zonary............
Who goes into a fight starving
who doesn't have alot of secrets
He killed himself to fight Pacquiao at 147.
