Erik Morales > oscar de la hoya

[JOZ]

I know what you mean oscar did lose his most important fights. That is exactly why I want to know where each of these two fighters stand in the ATG list.

Hard to say.

Oscar was a great champion, Olympics gold medalist, and fought everyone there was to fight. He took a lot of risks, and earned some losses, but got respect for it.

Morales was the ****ing man. He single handedly got me back into boxing after not watching the sport for years. He beat the brakes off Pacquiao, and I also had him winning against Diaz.

I guess you have to go with Oscar when you bring in his Olympic pedigree, how he brought the sport back up, and the fact that he fought everyone there was to fight.

morales...he actually won most of his big fights

[G Doggy Dog]

morales is better imo, better fights and better wins

[Mr. Fantastic]

Oscar and it ain't even close.

[Heeb]

Morales is better than ODLH - Rab

[Stigma]

On paper, you have to say De La Hoya fought the better opposition, despite losing all of them.

I, too, had Moralez beating Diaz, and he's my favorite fighter of all-time, so I'm inclined to rank him higher, but if we're talking paper trail, it's gotta go to Oscar.
