Prime De La Hoya vs. Canelo at 154

[QueensburyRules]

Oscar. Better skill and movement.

--- Well now, you got the boy part nailed.

Canelo more skills, and as footwork, look to the first GGG fight where Canelo kept him moving without running, and then taking ring center for most of the rematch. Ticks 9-10 on most every natural attribute and skill.

You a top 10 boy ain't shabby neither.

At 147 Oscar.

At 154 Canelo.

Overall, I think Oscar's the greater fighter and fought everybody in their primes, but at 154, he wasn't as great as he was at 147

He did not fight everyone in their prime... All the biggest names he beat were already past it. He lost all the big fights against fighters in their prime and Floyd wasn't even in his prime and chose to fight him late so he can always use the excuse that he was past it

Who you got? We can even make it the 155 version of Canelo who fought Cotto.

I would go with Oscar by UD. Just outboxes Canelo and beats him to the punch.

I would go with Canelo by left hook to the liver KO.

[boliodogs]

Oscar was a converted southpaw with a great left jab and a great left hook but a mediocre right hand unlike Trinidad who was also a converted southpaw but had great power in both hands and any punch. Canelo has great power in both hands and puts combinations together with speed, power and accuracy.

Canelo is a physically bigger guy and has a great chin. Can't see Oscar beating him by KO. He'd have to out box him. At 160 no way. At 154 id like to see it. But then again Canelo would never fight someone as dangerous as Oscar unless he fought at him Canelo weight.

[Johnny2x2x]

I pick Oscar at 154. He has the jab and the reach over Canelo, also could move as well at that weight.

[GorillaDog]

Canelo b/c hes the better boxer. Oscar would give him problems early but gets outboxed. I compare this fight similar to Khan. Khan speed and jab is comparable with DLH but was getting boxed up after the 3rd. Canelo ain't a one dimensional boxer like trinidad. DLH dealing with a real mofo here.
This is another case of people worshiping past boxers.

I say canelo cause Oscar lost most of his big fights

[GhostofDempsey]

If Oscar could handle the best punches of Tito, Mosley, and Vargas, he can handle whatever Canelo is throwing his way.
