Known as the "Golden Boy," Oscar De La Hoya was born in East Los Angeles, and was six years old when he first began to box. Today he continues to be on top of the welterweight division and is still regarded as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. His list of adversaries have included Wilfredo Rivera, Hector Camacho, Julio César Chávez, Pernell Whitaker, Derrell Coley, Sugar Shane Mosely and Javier Castillo. De La Hoya's pleasant personality and good looks have made him one of the most recognized and likeable athletes in the world today, and his commitment to social causes is exemplified by the Oscar De La Hoya Youth Foundation, which was initiated to establish and maintain communications between parents and their children's school.
