Prime Oscar De La Hoya vs. Prime Julio Cesar Chavez

[Bushidō]

If they fought in their primes..who would win and how? I personally feel like DLH would win by decision or maybe late round stoppage.

At welterweight?

At welterweight?

hmm I guess 140 since that was when JCC was in his prime. But then again dlh wasn't really into his prime til he was welterweight.

at 140 i go for chavez

[Telepath]

Why do people insist Chavez' prime was at JWW? Just because he fought the majority of his fights there? He was far better at lightweight and JLW.

at 140 i go for chavez

Just what i was going to say.

BTW-Was it Meldrict Taylor who had him beat and the fight got stopped with just 2 seconds left?

Dlh was simply too big for julio.....

Look guys. DLH would have been TOO big for any version of JULIO. SORRY! I was a huge fan of JULIO'S but he was TOO small for the much larger and skilled and smart DLH.

Yes it was Taylor. In my opinion it was a good stoppage. We were just arguing this about a week ago on here.

Their primes don't really match up weight wise. If I'm picking a 135 or 140 Chavez vs. De La Hoya, I'm taking Chavez, he has the mentality to win big fights Oscar seemed to lack.
