Most people I know have heard of De La Hoya. But I don't consider him to be particularly relevant. He's lost three of his last five fights and hasn't defeated a truly elite-level opponant since he beat Yory Boy Campas...and that was four and a half years ago.
I think that De La Hoya still gets big fights for two reasons:
1) He's a good fighter who looks
really good when compared to the rest of the current boxing field.
2) He's still hugely popular with Mexican-Americans, so his fights bring in lots of money.
