2007 Oscar De La Hoya vs. 2013 Canelo Alvarez - who wins?

...and why?

[UTEP]

Probably Canelo. De la Hoya was way past it in 2007. Oscar's last good win was in 2002 against Fernando Vargas.

What if Canelo gasses out?

...and why?

It's gotta be Oscar, yes he wasn't the same fighter he had been just a few years earlier but he was still a top level guy. His jab was has deadly as ever, his left hook superb and he still had decent physical tools left, a slither of his speed and some of his power.

What would Canelo bring? He can't pressure guys same size or bigger and Oscar was much bigger. Alvarez is skilled but far too flat footed for it to count. Oscar would simply out box him down the stretch.

De La Hoya in 2007 was way past his prime already. Anyway, Canelo is just a beast at this point and has way more firepower than Oscar.

[The Problem Child]

I have to go with Oscar and the reason being is due to his experience.

What if Canelo gasses out?

Canelo does have crap stamina

[LoadedWraps]

Even a shot DLH stops Canelo. Completely different class of fighter altogether, and I hate the media for trying to force Canelo down our throats as a star, now I have to deal with threads like this where everyone will overrate Canelo and underrated DLH because these young kids don't want to admit any other version other than the one manny fought exists, which is pathetic and erroneous. It wouldn't even be close.

Oscar got busted up by Steve Forbes, come on.
