Who do you think from todays 135 would be able to beat a prime Oscar De La Hoya?

Todays crop of boxers are genuinely some of my favorite to watch but I think Oscar would beat 90% of the division today? Definitely think he’d beat the dog**** outta Teo lmao.

Thoughts?

[The D3vil]

He beats all of them.

Oscar was a LEGIT 5'10 with power, speed, skill, and heart.

He'd struggle with Stevenson & maybe Haney a little, just like struggled with Whittaker & Mayweather, but nobody else would even stand a chance.

He would EASILY whip ALL of them. Oscar had bazaar speed like Shakur but with welterweight power. At 5:10 1/2 he was HUGE. These munchkins wouldn't have a chance.

Kinda Ironic that one of the fighters who gave Haney the most difficulty had the same moniker as Oscar, though even a prime Linares would be easy work for De La Hoya if you watch his performances against Genaro Hernandez, Jesse James Leija and Rafael Ruelas.

Not sure how Shakur's career will pan out as he still is just 25 years old, but we haven't seen him fight at the weight class and any top 130 pounders he had fought aren't anything new that the Golden Boy hasn't faced before, Herring, Valdez and Conceicao wouldn't see the fifth round.

I think Hed walk through Haney. Shakur would give him some probs initially

Haney would beat the prime dela hoya.

I agree. Oscar De La Hoya beat a prime Genaro Hernandez. Chicanito Hernandez (RIP) was better than Herring, Valdez, and Conceicao.

[El Más Loco]

None. There is no fighter currently at 135 or 140 that would come close to beating Oscar.

In Oscar's era fighters were still fighters.....in this era boxers are divas, low level businessmen that think they are worth more than they are, and very inactive/lazy.

Most boxer in the 90's and 00's commanded respect. This era made me throw away the whole notion that "you have to respect boxers because they take brain damage for our entertainment", I don't respect 90% of these current boxers.

Oscar would smoke them all.

Can’t see anybody beating the Golden Boy
Maybe Just Maybe the magical spatula
Nahhhhhhhh
