Oscar de la Hoya vs Saul "Canelo" Alvarez @ 154

I pick Oscar by decision, but will see if he has a chin, if not, i pick Oscar by ko.
Canelo doesn't have anything that Oscar didn't saw, Mosley was faster, Whitaker was better defensively, Hopkins and Vargas were stronger, Tito was a harder puncher, etc...

The Oscar that knocked out Fernando Vargas vs the last version of Canelo we saw in the ring, vs Liam Smith, at 154, who wins and how?

Oscar by UD or late stoppage. To beat that version of Oscar(still prime though not peak) you had to be good at most things, and excellent at something important. Canelo isnt winning a jabbing contest with Oscar.

He has good power, but he is no Tito at 147(though oscar won that), and Oscar has an iron chin. Canelo's defense is good, but isnt even close to past prime/coked out whittaker.

Although not at his best, Oscar is good enough to lead in this case. If for some reason Canelo tries to lead, things will get ugly.

Oscar has better jab, better punch selection, faster hands, better combos, lethal power in that left hand, better chin, better fighters at the top level, and nothing to really concern him about Canelo.

Oscar by UD or late stoppage in a fight that might be competitive but not close.

I voted today's Canelo beats him on points. Oscar wasn't as good at 154 as he was at 147. He lost to Mosley and Mayweather and should have lost to Sturm. Canelo gets better every fight.
