De La Hoya, Chavez and.....?

The first Ramirez fight, which might've been as bad as the Chavez one. I was referring to Chavez. That robbery was so bad my pops rooted against Chavez for the rest of his career.

Same with my uncle. Had an old head I used to be stationed with when I first joined the Army call everyone c00ns who didn’t root against DLH when he fought Tito or anyone black due to what happen to Sweet Pea in ‘97

I know we’re usually complimentary of folks when they pass but dude was a Legend. Greatest defensive fighter ever. Uncanny ability of making his opponents miss. Never saw a fighter as talented as him when it came to toying with his opponent and after while it was like he knew every move they were about to make and was one step ahead it.

RIP to that legend and regards to his friends and fam
