Addiction may be the toughest fight Oscar De La Hoya has seen — the boxing legend is currently seeking help for substance abuse at a California rehab facility, according to TMZ.
The boxing legend is taking to Twitter to reveal a more thoughtful and introspective side — a stark contrast from his persona in the ring.
“Stop finding excuses not to live,” he tweeted. “Life is controlled by what you make of it and not of what it makes of you.”
De La Hoya reportedly entered the facility several weeks ago to battle his demons and it appears that his new world outlook is sticking.
“Take a deep breath and let out all that anger that makes you hate,” he continued to tweet. “It really is going to be o.k.”
De La Hoya boasts an impressive record, having earned several boxing championship belts as well as a 1992 Olympic gold medal. But even with a gold medal hanging around his neck, the legend admits that he has his downfalls.
“After doing an honest evaluation of myself, I recognize that there are certain issues that I need to work on,” he told TMZ. “Like everyone, I have my flaws, and I do not want to be one of those people that is afraid to admit and address those flaws.”
Hopefully Oscar De La Hoya can knock out his addictions in the first round — and keep the women’s clothes off.

Dorian Leigh, who combined pristine blue eyes, curling eyelashes, an arresting intelligence and intoxicating sexuality to become one of history’s most photographed models — perhaps the first to truly merit the adjective super — died Monday in Falls Church, Va. She was 91.
The death was announced by her grandson Thibaut Dubois.
Ms. Leigh graced seven Vogue covers in 1946, according to a New Yorker magazine article of the time, and in the next six years appeared on more than 50 more covers of various magazines, Playbill reported.
Her images in Revlon’s “Fire and Ice†nail polish and lipstick campaign in the 1950s — “For you who love to flirt with fire …who dare to skate on thin ice†— were shot by Richard Avedon and became Madison Avenue legend.
“Dorian was truly the best model of our time,†Eileen Ford, the doyenne of the modeling agency industry, said in an interview with The Roanoke Times in 1997. “She instinctively knew what every photographer wanted, and she came alive just at the moment the shutter clicked.â€
Cecil Beaton wrote in his book “Photobiography†(1951) that Ms. Leigh was as demanding as the eminent photographers who shot her, including Louise Dahl-Wolfe and Irving Penn.
He said she could convey many moods, including “the sweetness of an 18-century pastel, the allure of a Sargent portrait, of the poignancy of some unfortunate woman who sat for Modigliani.â€
Ms. Leigh’s mystique was enhanced by her many romances, which included five marriages — counting the one in Mexico to a Spanish marquis who turned out to be already married. There were also the many real or imagined affairs with famous writers, musicians and photographers, eagerly tabulated by gossip columnists. Ms. Leigh was definitely attractive, standing 5 feet 5 inches, with an hourglass figure and an alluring smile.

Oscar De La Hoya is not denying the scandalous photos leaked on the web are him, he is however, still claiming they’re photoshopped.
If they are photoshopped, that’s a better job than all the Britney Spears magazine shoots combined. Although, his head does look a little jacked up in some of them.
