Prime Oscar De La Hoya VS The Pacquiao who fought him?

the oscar that fought mosley would of KOd Pacquiao

I would still pick Pacquiao. I think his power and speed would have surprised Oscar. He wouldn't have been able to adjust mid fight. I would pick Oscar in a rematch though. He's clearly the better fighter but most fighters lose to Pacquiao because they underestimate his power.

Depends if Oscar has to weigh the same at the weigh-in as he did on fight night. He wasn't allowed to rehydrate properly which didn't help. If that isn't the case then I'd say it would be a closer fight but still take Pacquiou on points.

I know it has been talked about many times around here, just want to see what the posters who actually saw Oscar fight at his prime think? If you are too young or a casual fan please don't comment. IMO. Oscar would KO Pacquiao at any weight from 135-147 in his prime.

are you kidding? pac is a coward.....pac would never fight de la hoya at a healthy weight and if he did, he'd get his big steroid block knock the F*** off

I think your right Pac has incredible speed but Oscar could really punch at 135-140. I don't think Pac has the weight to stand up to it.

How would Prime Oscar do against Cotto, Forrest, Tszyu, Canelo, and Marquez?

Forrest would give him the most trouble though I think he wins it. Cotto and Canelo get stopped by ODLH. Tszyu and Marquez would get picked apart by Oscars Jab in dull fights. Oscar in his prime was the real deal.

As a side note, if Trinidad or anyone at 140-154 didn't come close to stopping a prime Oscar, don't even think ODLH's chin wouldn't hold up today. The man could take a punch, even the skeleton walking dead version of him that fought Pacquiao didn't budge

Prime Oscar permanently imprints that jab in Mannys face.

"Oscar would have beat Floyd as well."

I've said this all along. Oscar was 34, stuck in mud, and too rich when he fought Floyd. After 8 rounds, he was ahead by a point on all three scorecards. He simply got old and couldn't sustain the pace he set early. A prime Oscar would have made the smaller Mayweather, look small. He was too fast, too smart, too big, and he moved to well with his legs and knew how to fight BIG. Floyd wouldn't beat a lot of fighters who came before him. He is over-rated in my eyes and doesn't like to challenge himself.

The Mosley that fought Oscar would've beat the **** out of Mayweather too.

Prime Mosley was heavy handed and lightning fast due to all the BALCO peds running through his veins.

Manny is still my favorite fighter alive today but that fight doesn't even happen against a prime Oscar and even Freddie Roach said this. Oscar would KO Manny. Manny would be too little; As a Matter of fact, Oscar beats any fighter at 147 and 154 today. He would even beat GGG at 160 as well. For those young fans who think he's so great. The Oscar that fought Vargas at 154 and was trained by Floyd Sr. beats GGG.

Delahoya in his prime at 140 would beat Mayweather to. A lot of guys from that era beat Floyd in their primes including Mosley. Mayweather only beat those caliber guys because they were past it. He can't beat any great welterweights prime for prime and most great 140 pounders would beat him to.
