Who's Better: 2007 De La Hoya or 2010 Mosley?

Oscar was able to cut the ring off against Mayweather. Mosley couldn't cut the ring off against Cotto. I believe thats something to think about. So obviously, Oscar had the better legs. Well, Cotto is something else you have to deal with. He likes coming forward, so it wasn't really a situation where Mosley had to cut the ring off because both Cotto and Mosley were engaging. Oscar cut the ring off on Mayweather (slightly) because that's Floyd's MO, he can fight going backwards and was waiting to hit Oscar with counters (which he eventually did). Oscar's mistake was he tried mauling Floyd which gave Floyd plenty of opportunities to land. I don't think it was a situation with who has (or had) better legs more than two guys (Cotto and Oscar) having completely different styles to match against.

They're even imo. 34 year old DLH at 154 is at least healthy. 147 Mosley claims to feel more powerful and faster at 147. Floyd fought/is fighting both of them at their healthiest. A healthy 34 year old DLH would have given problems To the Mosley of now imo.

IDK, maybe Shane would edge it with Richardson 7-5, 8-4. Floyd's Oscar would beat Cotto's Shane though. Hmmmm, I could see Oscar catching Cotto with a left hook and definitely hurting him, but I think Cotto's confidence level at that point really helped him a lot more than people give him credit for. You also have to take into account the size of where Cotto vs Oscar would've happened. Definitely a fight I would've liked to have seen, but ah well...close fight to me though at that stage of Cotto's career.

tough call. Oscar was in that fight v floyd going int the last 4 rounds but he could never put his foot on the gas when it mattered. No way should he have won on one scorecard, but he was right in it. If Mosley does as well I'll be mildly surprised.

I think Mosley today is better than the 2007 Oscar. The thing about Oscar by that time was he wasn't anywhere near as active as he used to be and was becoming the "businessman" Oscar as Oscar "the fighter" was dwindling down slowly. Mosley, though hasn't fought since Jan '09, still constantly trains so he's more than likely in better physical condition than Oscar was at that point, along with Mosley still having a good amount of speed and still packing a lot of power. If both versions of those guys fought now, I'd ride with Mosley.

Obviously we have to look at both 154 and 147, but in the case they fought at 154, who do you got between today's Mosley vs 2007's Oscar? IDK, maybe Shane would edge it with Richardson 7-5, 8-4. Floyd's Oscar would beat Cotto's Shane though.

Don't know honestly. However had they had fought, I'm sure it would of been close. A fight between a good Oscar and Shane would always be close. Obviously we have to look at both 154 and 147, but in the case they fought at 154, who do you got between today's Mosley vs 2007's Oscar?
