About this product

Product Information

From Oscar De La Hoya, one of the most celebrated fighters in the history of boxing, comes a frank and touching memoir about achieving the American Dream: his rise to the top, the power of a solid work ethic, his mother's painful death from cancer, the pitfalls of stardom, and a very personal take on what it means to be an American The son of Mexican-born parents, Oscar "The Golden Boy" De La Hoya has had an astonishing career. From boxing to business, from the recording industry to the charitable accomplishments of his foundation, his success is a testament to what one can achieve in the United States. But who is this man who has changed the lives of so many? Who has imprinted a positive mark upon the sport of boxing, for which many have all but given up hope? Who has become a symbol of success for an entire community, without many heroes to call their own? American Son answers these questions. Born into a boxing family, De La Hoya has defeated more than a dozen world champions and won six world titles as well as an Olympic gold medal--a moment forever marked in the memory of anyone who has followed his career. Yet within the maelstrom of this success lay a man whose earnest belief in the goodness of everyone around him sometimes led him to stray far from his intended path. This book is The Golden Boy, and he bares his most heartbreaking mistakes as well as his most stunning triumphs for all of the world to see. This thrilling tale of an immigrant's son--a quintessentially American story--is the chronicle of an amazing journey that will provide readers with new insight into the private life of a figure who has to many reached iconic status.

  • My Idle

    I been wanting to read this book for a while. He is an athlete who has inspired me throughout my lifetime to succeed. As he said recently on his press conference on the day when he etired, "retiring is not the end of the world or road, life continues...." He has a great record in his professional career of bxing of ten earned world titles in diffrent weight divisions and a gold medal. Can any body accomplish that? Best among the Best.

  • Amazing
