    Can any boxer in history face Oscar Dela Hoya's opposition and retire undefeated?

    Trinidad, Whitaker, Hopkins, Chavez, Mayweather, Pacquiao, Mosley, Camacho, Sturm, Gatti, Quartey, Vargas, Ruelas, Leija, Molina, Carr, Mayorga...
    The only fighters I see going through this list with succes are Pacquiao and Floyd excluding 160 and Sugar Ray Robinson exluding 130 but I don't think Manny and Floyd could beat them all while Robinson might have a chance.

      My picks as well. Although I do think Duran has a fair chance against Hopkins. Wouldn't favor him, but I think he has a chance.

                Remember DLH also got robbed in one of the Mosley fights and should have been given the decision in the Trinidad and Mayweather fights.

                I'm not sure how many fighters who could run through his resume undefeated. Possibly Duran, not sure about Leonard, I don't think he gets past a prime Pac that fought Oscar and Trinidad & Hopkins is 50/50.

                  And I doubt those other guys run for the last 3 rounds against Trinidad, like Leonard, Duran or Robinson in their primes. They go hard and finish strong, even if they feel they're ahead to try to end if before the final bell if they can.
