HAPPY OSCAR DE LA HOYA DAY!

Oscar De La Hoya is so terrific! I once was forced to write an article about him, and he's kinda a cool guy!
Oscar is a Mexican-American Middleweight champion! He promised his mother, literally on her death bed, that he would win an Olympic gold medal. And he did! Just for his dead mama! I love it!

Oscar can not only beat the shit out of you, he designed his own house in Big Bear, CA and he has two clothing lines!

When in 2001, his wallet was stolen, the only thing that De La Hoya wanted was the $1 food stamp he keeps on him as a reminder of his poverty stricken childhood. Viva La Hoya!
