I think De La Hoya has slowed down more than Tito has. De La Hoya does not move anything like he used to and he has lost alot of handspeed, he is older, and the moving up and down in weight classes is taking a toll on him. He has not looked good in his last 2 fights against Strum. Face it, he lost to Sturm but got a gift descision, and he he got KO'd by Hopkins. De La Hoya has lost a lot since 1999, I dont think he is gonna be around much longer, he is well passed his prime.Originally posted by ottoevansIf let say oscar beats tito in Jan. by UD.

If he moves down to 147, Oscar will likely beat anyone there. He's too big, and I dont think he is that far past his prime.Comment

The speed is still there and the power will still be there once he goes down to lower weight classes. You're talking past his prime like he's Bowe-like.Comment

Look at De La Hoya's record since 1999 when he lost the SD to Trinidad. Since fighting Trinidad in 1999, De La Hoya is 5-4. 2 losses to Mosely, once to Sturm, once to Hopkins. Before 1999 when he fought Trinidad he was undefeated and was thought kind of unstoppable, he is similar to Tyson in alot of ways, he deteriorated alot after loosing that first fight to Trinidad.Comment

Alot of guys are past their prime at 32 particularly it seems guys that have so much success at young ages such as Bowe and Tyson. They have alraedy been to the top, made the money etc..Originally posted by jack_the_rippuhThe speed is still there and the power will still be there once he goes down to lower weight classes.

It is the question, but you have it backwards, De La Hoya has deteriorated since 1999 much more than Tito has. This is judging by their most recent fights. Like I said since 99 De La Hoya is 5-4Originally posted by ottoevansok but that wasnt the questionComment
