How would Oscar De la hoya of 1998 do against these legends?

[teddycanyon]

I think he'd beat Pac in his prime, maybe have a shot against Chavez. But he'd lose to Hearns and Mayweather pretty decisively i think

He beats them all IMHO. A prime, hungry Oscar was a beast.

Beats mayweather by close desicion

Ko's PAC man

Beats Chavez by lop sided decision

Beats hearns in an absolute war.

De la hoya who was #1 p4p in 1998..against these legends

all these fights are at welterweight

vs Hearns (1981)
vs Chavez(1990)
vs Floyd Mayweather jr (2006)
vs Manny Pacquaio(2009)

I think all of them except JCC beat Oscar.

Hearns was a huge welterweight and arguably he hardest punching welter in history with great boxing skills to fall back on. In his prime only the ATGs like Hagler and Leonard beat him.

Floyd defensively would win a close decision because Oscar had a tendency in all stages of his career to tire toward the end. Floyd is a good closer and would do enough to win.

Manny is about as unpredicatable to fight as they come and Oscar would be at a disadvatage in speed, reflexes and arguably power. I don't think manny stops a prime Oscar but he wins a tough decision.

JCC was smaller like Manny but unlike Manny he relied on attrition. Against a prime Oscar being tougher wouldn't be the best strategy and I see dlh either stopping him late or winning a wide decision.

Hearns beats him easily... All the advantages in the world except chin, but a 6'1" guy with Hearn's reach would land that big right hand all night... Excuse me, in the first few rounds cause it wouldn't last all night

Chavez is 50/50... Oscar had the advantage in speed, power, and boxing skill so he'd be smashing left hooks over his head all night, however he always fades late so Chavez's pressure and body work would have an effect if Oscar can't make a statement early

Floyd gets outworked... I know its a myth to say he almost got outworked by faded Oscar, but he really did do a solid job well out of his prime, so this is different. Floyd doesn't have Whitaker's radar/upper body defense, he's got a stationary defense. His power would have no effect on Oscar, and he would just get stuck against the ropes, a younger Oscar wouldn't stop the way the old one did

Pacquiao gets KO'd... Too short, too easy to hit, too naturally small... Prime Oscar's speed and power were comparable to Manny's and the fact that he was a much better boxer... I'd vote for a stoppage, but a decision win isn't out of the question... But definitely a win
