Special Thanks to all the Patrons who backed me on this project. This is the Full story of one of Boxing's biggest money bouts between Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather Jr. For the people that are interested in why the fight is crystal clear for something in 2007. Thats a tale for itself. The file for the fight popped up sometime in 2007 and it was revealed as the ultimate copy of De La Hoya vs Mayweather. This is a Pro Res 17 gig file. There is an HD file of this fight around on the web but its not this copy, its a compressed 2.5 gig 720p mkv file. The comparison between the 2 in quality is huge. I heard legends of this file and to my luck it resurfaced back on the internet back in 2013. On old-school file sharing sites, the uploader had to divide the file in several parts so it can stay under the file memory limit on the site. I was limited by the site to getting 3 parts a day. After obtaining all the parts . You had to use a program called HS Split to combine all parts to make up the original 17 gig file. The 24/7 I obtained summer of that year. It took over a month to transfer. There is a copy on KZbin, but its compressed I have the actual raw file. For the most part these pieces of history just remained in my personal fight archives for years to come til I finally found proper use to have it in a video today. Boxing is unfortunately the only sport where it is important for everyone to archive when theres such releases because chances are they will never be rebroadcasted again and for future generations they have to view the fight in awful quality. This fight is a prime example as GB and DAZN only have access to the international feed. The international feed of the fight was only shown in Standard Def. HD feed was exclusive to HBO. Which HBO only re-broadcasted this fight 2 times ( the weekend after and their 2007 Yearender special).

[@aaronhoy3410]

@When you hear the wind Talk, seek help ; @Joseph Melendez Lol I hope you guys don't honestly believe this ridiculous claim. Don't get me wrong I am not saying it is ridiculous to think that companies would collude with one another in order to scam people out of money, that part is extremely believable. But, on this particular claim regarding visual quality & tech this claim is simply ridiculous. There are a few reasons why so many people have this same sort of feeling that picture quality was previously better back in the day than it appears when viewing that same footage now. In no particular order they are: 1) Sometimes that footage appears lower quality than it was previously because it simply is actually a slightly lower quality. Depending on what exactly was used to record the broadcast [especially when it is someone's home recording of the broadcast,] when done on something like VHS or some other tape format it is prone to quality deterioration over time from an assortment of things like physical damage/wear to humidity. Also, if it was someone's home recording of a broadcast then the recording was also just a lower a quality than what the broadcast quality was. 2) Another reason things appear to more blurry or more snowy when viewing old footage today has to do with the difference in the resolution quality of the equipment you are using today vs. the resolution of the old footage. If you are using a computer you have the ability to adjust your screen's resolution & if you are watching something old if you were to adjust your resolution down to say 800x600 down from the 1920x1080 or higher it is likely currently set at & this will make the footage quality appear slightly better. Related to this, though slightly different, is the fact that screens are quite a bit larger than they used to be on average. I mean just the weight of CRT monitors for computers was absurd. A 15-inch monitor would weigh between 25-30 pounds, a 17-inch between 35-40 pounds, a 19-inch between 40-50 pounds, & a 21-inch between 50-70 pounds. Most people got monitors between 15" & 19" from the late 90s through mid-2000s. Even when LCD's started being sold to consumers they were small with the predominant size in 2003 being 15". 3) Finally things appear worse than they felt like at the time because back at the time there was nothing with which to compare it to that was high definition. When viewing it nowadays when most things are in high definition the the issues with the lower quality stuff just stands out due to how stark the contrast is. The flaws/issues were able to be mostly ignored back when there was nothing better available. It would be noticeable when someone first watched something on TV as compared to what they saw in life personally, but as one became used to watching stuff on TV people would acclimate to it. Similar to how someone who works around or is otherwise around some constant sound/noise it eventually becomes kind of like background noise that they begin to not even notice.

[@aaronhoy3410]

@Joseph Melendez The 2nd sentence in my comment was "Don't get me wrong I am not saying it is ridiculous to think that companies would collude with one another in order to scam people out of money, that part is extremely believable." I was merely trying to explain why people feel like something they remember watching back in the day feel like the quality is worse than what they remember it being like back then. Most people get this feeling, including myself & that's despite the fact I know it isn't actually any worse & understand why our brains are tricked into thinking that it is.

it was the passing of the torch playa! If Oscar really wanted a dub, he would've fought like he did against Tito and given the '96 Olympic Bronze medalist a boxing clinic! But we all know The Golden Boy took one for the team and went for the KO. In Pretty Boy's defense, he returned the favor against Miguel Cotto. The only reason why Jr. got caught so much was because he actually thought he could KO the boricua.

[@XGlite015]

@Corduroy El Negroid man, you really hate the guy huh. I think he beat Pacquiao and I'm Filipino. He beat Maidana in the later rounds despite being bullied in the early rounds and Maidanas weight advantage. And Castillo is a close fight and could've gone the other way or a draw. But, I see it more as an edge similar to how Pacquaio was given the decision against Marquez in their 2nd fight.

It was really only chuck and Tito that were the only stars in mma at that time. Silva and GSP didn’t get big until later.

It's hard to question/judge anything that Mayweather has done professionally. I mean can you really imagine him being anymore successful than he is or has been. Doesn't seem realistic that he could be any more successful, so to try to negatively judge anything he has done is a losing battle. Personal life is a different story.

[@jeszecantu4262]

Successful yes one of the best yes great yes. He is one of the best all time can’t take that away from him but man there is so many lil things that I hate about him. I will name them now. 1. Dude holds way to much holding while your hurt that’s fine but holding as a tactic of defense is supposed to be illegal stop me if I’m lying. I hate that you don’t see judges take points for hold some warn but rarely. Holding as defensive is wrong and just not something I like to see. 2. Dude always used his elbow and forearm and sometimes it would have dudes head pushed all the way back with his forearm like come on dude that shit is wack. 3. Dude was great at picking the best fights for him at the right time there was so many fighters he could have fought but didn’t or did but to late. Pretty boy Floyd is a beast but money may not so much. He is the best defensive fighter yea without a doubt but that’s it.

[@daltiejul]

@@jeszecantu4262 there is a difference between "Pretty Boy" and "Money" yes! I'll give you the elbows. I don't know how many people actually notice how many times he slips that elbow push in there, but he would do it a lot, way too much in fact. The rest are tactical advantages/strategies that helped him get to where he is! Hate him or love him he is undoubtedly the GOAT! He chose his fights because he was able to and no one else would've done it any other way. He didn't duck any practical fighter (I say practical meaning he obviously didn't go after anyone way too big or small) in his time he merely chose the $ fights and that is prize fighting at the top level. He did fight some of the best and he fought them at thier best! There's not many arguments for other fighters being better that aren't laughable! Tom Brady and Michael Jordan are the only athletes that have more of an undoubtable claim as the best ever in their respective sport over Mayweather! Maybe Gretzky, but I don't know enough about hockey to really get into that!??

[@Va11idus]

@@daltiejul the fact that you think it's laughable that someone could think another fighter could be to GOAT shows just how biased you are. I'm sorry, but it's very debatable. That's just a fact, or it wouldn't be debated like Jordan or Brady.

[@bondsgoat25]

@@jeszecantu4262 about the elbow thing, I think it can be used very strategically, like the first maidana fight, we’re maidana was bending the rules with the clubbing swings to the back of the head, that low blow and the grappling. So Floyd counteracted that by sticking his elbow out, whenever maidana led with his head and tried to wrestle him. Therefore stopping maidana from burying his head in Floyd’s chest as it would run into Floyd’s elbow!

Yes that is correct for that period of time til Boxing can produce more household names to sell fights. 2005-2008 Mayweather saved the sport but Mayweather needed De La Hoya, without a De La Hoya fight things would have been alot different because the Carlos Baldomir fight left such a bad taste in fight fans mouths. There needed to be a passing of the torch, but Oscar had to impress in high fashion to Mayorga to sell that to fight fans and casuals. With the boom of Pacquiao in late 2008 thanks to the De La hoya fight, that had stabilized the sport for a bit since you have 2 cash cows and now rivals. You have people talking and debating now especially since the Heavyweight division in the US is dead. You did have some big names but they were only big within the sport and not among casual viewers to transcend and get a guy who normally watch tennis and MMA to take time and watch these guys fight. (Paul Williams, Miguel Cotto, Antonio Margarito etc). So 2005-2008 Mayweather , 2008-2015 A joint effort by both Mayweather and Pacquiao.

Amazing video brother Plz make such detailed videos on Floyd's other fights also Will become patron soon

[@steveguardado7243]

This why boxing is great. This sport grants you respect no matter if your a defensive master or a blood and gut warrior. Boxing over any other sport.

[@Montoya1991]

Except mayweather didn't do what DLH did. He didn't face the opposite when they called him out

[@steveguardado7243]

@@Montoya1991 Floyd beat Mosley, Cotto, Marquez, Chico Corrales, Hatton, Maidana and Gatti. These guys were known for all assault and never die attitude. He picked them apart after making them fight his fight. Also DLH couldn't beat the cream of the crop like Trinidad, Hopkins, Mosley (2x), Floyd and Pacquiao. Got wins over bums like Mayorga, Vargas and a washed up Chavez

[@falllegend2112]

Boxing is not a sport...its a martial ART.

[@Montoya1991]

@@steveguardado7243 TF are you even talking about? Everyone that watched the Trinidad fight knows DLH won. The 1st Mosley fight was so close that at least half of the professional boxing analysts had DLH winning and Mosley was on the moon with rocket fuel (steroids) in the rematch. Hopkins? Oh yeah great win from a light heavyweight Hopkins against a welterweight dlh 😂. Floyd faced a washed up DLH and still BARELY won the fight, mayweather even "retired" to avoid the rematch clause DLH had in that fight and suddenly when the rematch clause expires then who comes back? Mayweather lol. Pacquiao yes but DLH was also dehydrated as a MF, he dropped down to 147 , weight he hadn't been in years. Just look at DLH in the Pacquiao fight, DLH was known for his lightning fast speed and he just couldn't move. Shows you know nothing about boxing, boy.

I'm 42 and just got into boxing and MMA hardcore in the last 5 years. I wish I was into boxing as much as I am now back in the '80s and '90s and '00s Because it was just way, way better back then. There's nothing now.

[@jesuscruz7033]

It was getting good till covid cause alot of money issues for the big fights. So hopefully it will keep getting good once this covid thing is over

[@Lemon-rk9hq]

Boxing is still good but the 60s-the 2000s boxing was fucking huge it’s still huge today but not as big as a it used to be if all of these fighters market themselves well then it can get back to what it used to be but it’s in a good place today compared to what it was

[@rhull3939]

@@Lemon-rk9hq I don't think so. There's nobody. Tyson fury, wilder, AJ, and loma who just looked like shit. It should be easier now to market yourself with social media today.. It was loaded back then.

[@delmarwing4108]

Why would he duck Oscar 😂😂 bro, did you watch the fight? Mayweather outboxed him in any way possible. De la Hoya wasn’t even powerful enough so what did he do?

[@theforce5191]

@@delmarwing4108 roger said that if they went by the point system, it would of been Oscar winning the fight. He wasn't out-boxed. In order for that to happen, Oscar would of lost every round or a majority of the rounds. What sucks is that there's politics involved in boxing which pretty much determines what fighters get the spotlight. So if you watch the beginning of the video you'll see how politics plays a role in boxing.
