    Great poll question.

    I went with Oscar because of the overwhelming public perception factor.

        I've gone for Oscar, not particularly for his wins over 6 weight classes, but because I can't remember a fight in which he's been comprehensively dominated - which given he started at 130 and faced Bernard Hopkins, Mosley and Tito himself is pretty impressive, added to all his good wins.

        The one fight I wish he'd made and I believe he would have definitely lost is Tszyu, shame that didn't happen.

          Agree, i've always wanted to see Dela Hoya vs Tszyu at 140lbs.

            In a surprise, in terms of their careers I think Trinidad has to be given the edge.

            But De La Hoya would have knocked out Kostya. I'm sure of it.

              I guarantee most people are picking de la hoya based on popularity. Trinidad is the more accomplished prizefighter, most mags and experts would agree with me. 5 of de la hoya's 12 major wins were trinidad leftovers.

                i feel that DLH was definately more popular than Trinidad but i feel that Trinidad(in terms of quality of competition and performances) ranks slightly higher
