Oscar De La Hoya Takes Shots At Dana White, Canelo & Talks Floyd Mayweather, Ryan Garcia & Olympics

Oscar De La Hoya sits down with Shannon Sharpe at Club Shay Shay for a conversation that explores the multifaceted layers of his life, career and boxing. Oscar reflects on his illustrious boxing legacy, emphasizing that while his achievements in the ring are significant, they do not entirely define him. He ranks himself among the greats of his generation but remains humble, placing himself second to last, just ahead of Canelo Álvarez.
Oscar delves into his iconic bout with Floyd Mayweather, expressing his conviction that he won the fight in spirit, if not by decision. He praises Floyd's unique qualities, including his intelligence and ring generalship, and credits Floyd Sr. as the best trainer Oscar ever had. Oscar explains why the Floyd vs Manny Pacquiao fight would've been better five years earlier than it happened and revisits his fight against Pacquiao, revealing the profound personal struggles he faced at the time, which made him feel as though he wanted to die during the fight.
The conversation shifts to the business side of boxing, where Oscar discusses the evolution of the sport and the increasing emphasis on money over consistent performance. Oscar also opens up about his transition into the world of promotions, driven by a desire to protect fighters and remain connected to the sport even as his own career waned. He also opens up about the time Jay-Z bet Oscar $250K that Miguel Cotto would beat Canelo.
The discussion turns to Oscar's current role as a promoter, including his work with Ryan Garcia. He expresses concern over Ryan's recent behavior and the impact of external influences on the young fighter's career. Despite the controversy, Oscar believes Ryan has what it takes to be great, as shown in his bout vs Devin Haney. Oscar also addresses his strained relationships with other fighting figures, including Canelo Álvarez and Dana White, candidly discussing the fallout and the personal toll it has taken on him.
As the episode draws to a close, Oscar reflects on his childhood, the trauma he endured, and how it shaped his drive to succeed. He reminisces about winning Olympic gold at the 1992 Olympics, a moment he considers the pinnacle of his career despite the immense pressure he faced following his mother's death. Oscar touches on the growing phenomenon of celebrity boxing, his thoughts on Jake Paul not taking "real" fights, and the idea of a potential fight between Jake and Canelo. Additionally, Oscar explains who would win in a boxing match if Drake and Kendrick Lamar's beef ever found its way into the ring and his answer may surprise you. Then, Shannon jokes about Oscar getting "Ai abs" and plastic surgery rather than earning his muscles in the gym.
Throughout the conversation, Oscar remains grounded, speaking candidly about his personal life, including his struggles with addiction and the lessons he's learned along the way. He contemplates his legacy, expressing a desire to be remembered not just for his accomplishments in the ring but for the person he is beyond boxing. Join Shannon Sharpe and Oscar De La Hoya for an episode filled with reflection, honesty, and the wisdom of a man who has seen and survived it all.

Oscar was a savage in the ring. The furthest thing from a 🦆

[@rjoehidalgo]

Best frickin interview I’ve watched in years! Great job Shay Shay!! You filled in all the gaps about Oscar that I’ve always wondered about! I’ve always loved ODLH and he was honest, real and sincere with this no holds barred interview…amazing!!

[@dontatme__]

I must say I came here to discredit this man and I'm thoroughly impressed. 15 minutes in and Shannon's wont shut up about Floyd and Oscar isnt just handling it well, he's crushing it. For those of you that dont know, quiet as kept Floyd and Oscar have been embroiled in a feud that has spanned 4 decades. From Jealousy on Floyds behalf and Envy on Oscar's these guys genuinely didnt like each other. Floyd wanted Oscars position, Oscar wanted Floyd's status. Oscar intensified things when he hired Floyd sr and jr began calling Oscar out for years. Oscars negligence and Floyds influence fractured Oscar's long standing relationship with HBO when Floyd took Goldenboy and went to showtime. Oscar has every right to be bitter, instead hes honest, forthright and praiseworthy of Floyd. I gotta commend him for it.

[@DwayneCarden]

I thought the same thing, a lot of Floyd talk and Oscar is handling it like a boss. Shannon should have focused on Oscar more before getting into all that.

[@Jaaon-v4t]

Yeah this interview should’ve been called Shannon and Oscar discuss Floyd lol

[@tisharenee4061]

[@chesskingtucker-ld7em]

What a great interview Oscar gave on club Shay Shay. Everything was well documented. Nothing negative about the other Hall of Famers. What was said about Floyd Mayweather respect to him and his former trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. I respect Oscar for his class act in the sport of boxing. Great job club Shay Shay!!!

I gotta be honest after watching this. I see Oscar way different. I think Shannon Sharp killed it with the interview. I think Oscar Del La Jolla is a great dude. Keep it 100.

[@lyzawolfgramm5587]

I didn’t know what to think abut him. I enjoyed the interview. It taught me a lot about a fighters mentality and how they think. I liked learning about who he is more!

[@brandonshabazz255]

Shannon spent way too much time asking Oscar about Floyd. Oscar was great in his own right and I found it disrespectful to spend so much time in the beginning talking about Floyd.

[@josecanales2978]

I had the same thought 15 min into the interview. Like bruh who are you interviewing Floyd or Mayweather

[@ljw1684]

As a reformed people pleaser, I understand him perfectly.

[@richardvalenzuela8699]

Explain please

[@ljw1684]

@richardvalenzuela8699 A people pleaser will do things to please the people around them trying to be chosen/liked/loved. A reformed PP may still be a nice person, but if it's something that doesn't feel quite right for them to do, it's not happening. Where as before, they would do things for others regardless of how it made them feel. I hope this helps.

[@renedavidgarcia8065]

Oscar never ducked a fight. Oscar fought everyone in their prime.

[@_.13_]

💯

[@JG_VZA]

Never ducked a fight but his ego is huge. He lost every big fight of his career and while he was a complete fighter with great skills, not one of his skills was truly elite, and he had a problem fading in the later rounds. He talks badly about Canelo but Canelo has a better resume having beaten more champions and more standing champions, has probably accomplished more overall, and in terms of actual skill set, Canelo is better as well due to his elite level timing and counters. De La Hoya could have only beaten Canelo if he met an early 20’s version of Canelo at 154, otherwise he loses at 154 and definitely at 160.

[@3rikhndez]

That’s a blatant Lie 😂 you’re clearly a canelo fanboy. Oscar beat Chavez (twice), Sweet Pea, Camacho, and Vargas. He got robbed against Tito and Mosley in the rematch. Many think he got robbed against Mayweather too.

[@JG_VZA]

⁠@@3rikhndezYou listed zero big fight. And no, a battle worn Chavez was not a “big” fight. As for controversial fights, keep your opinions out of the way of facts. Unless you want to talk about how DLH robbed Whittaker in the same breath. Call it w/e you want. End of the day, Canelo will go down as the more accomplished boxer. Quantifiable facts aren’t up for debate, sorry. If anything you’re coming off like a De La Hoya fanboy for disagreeing.

[@3rikhndez]

@@JG_VZA It’s literal facts that Oscar was robbed against Tito Trinidad and Shane Mosley in the rematch just like how Golovkin was robbed against Canelo. Chavez was still 33 years old when Oscar stopped him so stop making excuses. Also Oscar put up a way tougher fight against a Prime Mayweather than canelo. Canelo got schooled 12-0 against an old mayweather

[@gabrielclark3664]

My respect went up for Oscar after watching this. He seems like he told the truth, even when it didn’t benefit him. A lot of people don’t do that, they put on the tough guy act in front of the camera. Mad respect ✊
