Oscar De La Hoya’s Wild Birthday Photos Go Viral

Oscar De La Hoya is one of the greatest boxers of all time.

Over the span of his fighting reign De La Hoya captured 11 world titles in six different weight divisions, not to mention the lineal title in three separate weight divisions. Most knowledgeable fans have him within their top-25 all-time lists.

While he sometimes finds himself in the headlines for not-so-great stuff, De La Hoya is an undeniable combat sports legend.

Here’s to hoping De La Hoya continues enjoying his life and living it to the fullest. He has earned that much.
