De la Hoya: 5 guys he should fight, 5 he shouldn't

[guru]

oscar hasn't showed big KO power since fighting at 140... he does have a good chin though...

[mic573]

De La Hoya can take Vargas, Hopkins, and Tito shots, the likes of which Tsyzu does not compare to. Oscar has more power than Zoo and would KO him in my opinion, no matter how touhg Zoo is.

I think you are underestimating Tszyu's power bigtime with that statement. I think people need to remember that Oscar didn't have that big of power at 147.

I actually agreed with Super_Lightweight. Zoos got power that is no question. But DLH has been in the ring with bigger tougher and stronger guys. I actually dont see any1 at 147 and under betting DLH. The only guy i give a chance to beat DLH is Cintron in the 147 and below. Veron as been out to long to come back and beat DLH. And Winky and Ouma are the only guys i give a chance to beat him at 154. Mosley, i think DLH will win but i just dont wanna see it. I think he lost the first fight and won the second. And for Trinidad i think Dlh should just stay away from from every1 at 160.

He had enough power to be reckoned with at 147. That jab was stiff and crisp..

He definitly has got to fight Zoo and Cintron. It would be cool to seem him fight Floyd but i dont think it is going to happen.

Noway would Oscar beat Spinks at this time in his career, Spinks is still very young and his footwork will get Spinks the decision. Like other fighters Spinks wont stand with De la hoya and move that will trouble Oscar. However in his prime, Oscar dominates Spinks no questions asked.

Spinks doesnt hit hard enough to keep Oscar away, also Oscar is strong and Spinks does not have the greatest chin. Just because he can stay away from Mayorga doesnt mean he'll be able to stay away from Oscar.
Tszyu would give De la hoya trouble, Tszyu can box and throw punches at the same time, each punch carries a brick. Tszyu would hurt De la hoya and give him the hardest fight of his career, hands down.

Tszyu would definently give Oscar the toughest fight of his career. Can't pick a winner.
Cintron beating any top 147 pounder is a joke, the guy might be big but his stamina sucks and he throws nothing but power punches. Watch the replay of dlh vs vargas and that would be the outcome. Kermit stands no chance he is a joke his stamina would kill him against a mover.

I agree about Cintron too. He is barely average. Oscar would chew him up.

GodzHand-I think Spinks would give Oscar a run for his money literally, it would be a defensive fight and I dont think either fighter would hurt one another and would go to the scorecards, but definately a tought fight for both fighters. I would favor Spinks now, De la hoya has slipped A LOT.

I dont understand why people are so damn high on Cintron, Wow he dominated Teddy Reid and couldnt knock him out. The boy was gassing for air in that fight around round 5 what makes people think the mover De la hoya is that Cintron would be able to keep up in the later rounds?????

[Floydmayweather]

Oscar can beat anyone at 147. Zoo will give him alot of trouble but I think he has a good shot.

[Super_Lightweight]

hmm

No, he apparently can't take Hopkins shots. We don't know about Tito, I'm not even sure Tito landed a clean punch on him. I didn't see the Vargas fight, but I do know that Shane had him hurt on several occasions. Since Shane more than likely doesn't have Tszyu's power, I think Kostya probably could hurt him.

I just meant Oscar has been in the ring and fought with guys better and bigger than Zoo. Zoo, a 140 lbs fighter will NOT be able to hurt DLH as much as DLH will be able to hurt him. Shane's power is at least equal to Zoo's, plus he is faster.

DLH just being taller and bigger, mixed with his speed & his size, will allow him to win. It may not be a KO, but he will win. DLH 5 years ago KO's Zoo worse than Phillips did.
