        De La Hoya. WIth that being said, how do you think that changes this argument?

            I didn't discredit him, I merely brought up a common opponent.

            Nonetheless, Whitaker did fight a fresher De La Hoya, and Whitaker was also the smaller man, NOT in his prime.

            Mayweather got the SD, but A LOT of people think Whitaker got the short end of the stick.

            I'm not one of those douche bags who doesn't give Mayweather credit for beating De La Hoya. De La Hoya was ahead on the cards after 5 rounds, so he clearly was able. he just stopped with the jab and got a bit winded.

            Interestingly enough, he looked VERY fresh when facing Forbes, who hit him with some decent shots.

                But he was easy to hit.....and showed no defense....

                He also showed no kind of power...Forbes didnt respect him at all...

                  Forbes has never been down. Why should De La Hoya be Superman for a night?

                  If he goes in for the kill, against a guy who doesn't get killed.. He risks missing out on the rematch he thought he had.

                  The defensive things I think happened later when he opened up. When you look at his face in the 6th or 7th round, he wasn't that beat up. It happened when he pressured himself to end the show. It happens.

                  For the record, I'd give Cotto credit for beating De La Hoya. Like a give Williams credit for beating Quintana in two tries. Lol.

                    But seriously Forbes is a ntural 140 pounder..Oscar shouldve KILLED him.

                    I wouldnt give Cotto credit....because the Oscar that Forbes looked terrible in my eyes...........borderline shot.

                    You have to give Williams credit.....he knocked dude out in the first round with time to spare in the round.

                    Cotto got credit for beating Quitana..same applies for Paul.

                      When did Cotto claim to be the greatest fighter that ever lived? I must have missed that one. And Oscar will be a hell of a lot more active (three fights over less of a time frame than he had once fight in when he fought Mayweather) when he fights Cotto, not to mention being at a weight of 147 which better suits Oscar.
