Oscar De La Hoya, "The Golden Boy", first captured our hearts by becoming the only American boxer to win an Olympic Gold Medal at the 1992 Summer games. Since that time, Oscar has rocketed through the professional ranks, becoming the undisputed, undefeated Light Weight Champion of the World in just is 20th fight. Oscar's unparalleled skills in the ring are equaled by his warm personality outside the ring. Oscar's devotion of time and energy to help less fortunate children in his community, sets an admirable example for others to follow.
