Oscar De La Hoya. Although he was born in Los Angeles, De La Hoya's parents hail from Mexico where boxing ran in the family. Both De La Hoya's father and grandfather were boxers, and De La Hoya himself started boxing at the age of six. After winning an Olympic gold medal in 1992, De La Hoya turned pro and won his first world title in 1995. In 2004, De La Hoya became the first boxer in history to win world titles in six different weight classes, and his model looks and great talent earned him the nickname "Golden Boy."
