I'm most impressed with his honesty. Nobody knows what it is like to walk in his shoes. Most of us have not had his success and fame. No judgement here because if presented with life's temptations on the level he was at I know the majority of us would have done the same thing. I respect the man to share his pain and I wish him well in his search for self- love and self-compassion. Oscar has shown more guts telling his story here than standing in the ring with some very dangerous fighters! Enjoy your family and try to learn and welcome intimacy in your life with your kids who want to know you!!

"The Golden Boy: Oscar De La Hoya" is a raw and honest portrayal of a complex and fascinating figure. It offers a glimpse into the highs and lows of his career, as well as the personal demons that he battled throughout his life. The series is well-paced and engaging, and it provides a comprehensive look at De La Hoya's legacy.

It's a powerful and moving story that will stay with you long after you've finished watching it.

Opening your self up and being honest with everyone else around you, sharing your true feelings, taking the risk that your ego may take a huge hit are all marks of a true champion.

Making an attempt to live your life in a way that would avoid hurting other people is noteworthy (i.e. 'What is hurtful to you do not do to someone else').

However, living every day in service to your fellow human beings is something else (i.e. 'Love your neighbor as your self').

I hope that Oscar and my self figures this out some day. I have been incredibly blessed to escape a childhood of so much pain that I almost took my own life.

Thankfully, a 'higher power' intervened and now I'm in a position to make other people's lives better.

I have been a boxing fan since 7yrs old. That's 46years of loving the sport. And have definitely been an Oscar fan. Was able to meet him, get a photo and an autograph before his fame exploded. This documentary shows his struggles and rise to fame. It finally tells the truth of the The Golden Boy. One of the best sports documentaries I have ever seen. Exciting flash backs as I have attended many of Oscar's fights in the past. That being said, this is a sad introspective into Oscar's real persona. But I love the raw honesty. Who is the real Oscar? All I can say is, we really never know our sports idols. The Golden Boy is definitely worth the watch!
