Not sure the intention of the posted link. I remember watching it that night they aired it. Did you have any opinion? I ask because you called him Gay La Hoya, could be an insult to someone.
Nice link for those that didn't get to view it. Shaq actually fought better than I thought he would even though it was a play match!

I was never an Oscar fan either, but as a lightweight he was a force. People can claim Chavez was war-torn over-the-hill, but he still had a lot left to offer to opponents. Oscar best weapon, his jab then the body left hook was so strong because he was a natural southpaw that fought orthodox. As he moved up in weight, he slowed down and carried no power. I get a lot of flack regarding my view that Oscar at lightweight could have fought with anyone all-time, but once he reached welterweight and above, he was nothing. Yes, he did fight the very best out there (unlike Mayweather), but he seemed to lose every close fight (Mosley twice, Trinidad, etc...). Then a fat looking Oscar lost to Felix Sturm regardless what the scorecards stated. The fact was he had to win that fight to be able to sell a monster PPV fight verse Hopkins that was already signed and Sturm was suppose to be a warm-up.
