    When was Oscar De La Hoya's last "prime" fight?

    When do you guys think De La Hoya had his last fight in his prime?
    Against Shane Mosley the rematch or against Hopkins?

    He was great vs. Mayorga. Floyd was just too fast for him. Complete shadow of his former self vs. Forbes and Pac. I think the layoffs after the Hopkins fight and the weight issues finally did him in.

              After Hopkins because he started fighting flat footed like a robot.

                The Mayorga De La Hoya face was old and past prime. The perfect example is Tito in his comeback fight, he look like a million bucks in his return but he look that way because Mayorga was so ****ing easy to hit.

                    He was looking that way before Hopkins. Go watch his fight with Sturm.
