DLH vs Starling @ 147

Both at thier welterweight primes.... who wins?

 

Oscar by decision. Tough fight for him but his faster hands and better power convince the judges that he wins. Starling will complain about the decision, but it would be objectively correct.

 

what welterweight did delahoya ever beat who was anything close to starling?

 

The reverse can also be asked and so shut up and give us your analysis! :kick:

 

starling competitively fought against donald curry and beat mark breland and honeyghan. oscar beat oba carr (while crapping himself) and coley. oh yea, he eaked out a controversial decision against a washed up whitaker.

 

And Gave Tito a boxing lesson .... Beat Quartey as well ....

 

both of which were disputed.

 

You can call whatever disputed.

However , rank DLH on these following fights that for the sake of argument we will call them very close or even.

Pernell Whitaker
Tito Trinidad
Ike Quartey
Sugar Shane Mosely
Floyd Mayweather

Now some he had the upper hand , some he didn't.
Point being , if you fight on what we will round off to even terms with the above fighters , you are not a bad fighter yourself if you know what I mean.

 

Ignore joony.

If it were Oscar de la Ching Lao there wouldn't even be a debate.

 

Were Mark Breland and Lloyd Honeyghan on the level of Oscar De La Hoya.

 

I think this would be yet another controversial decision in a DLH fight.

 

i stated facts.

fuck you.

Be a very interesting fight. Even prime, Starling could be uneven so you never know; Oscar's flurries caught eyes.

 

I'm a big Starling fan but he could be frustrating sometimes. He could easily outbox DeLaHoya for the first two minutes of every round and then give the round away in the final minute.

Oscar was always a master of stealing rounds, Unfortunately Marlon was a master at giving them away.

I think Oscar wins a close and possibly controversial decision.

 

they were better than any welterweights delahoya ever defeated.

 

Well Oscar did "beat" Quartey(though arguable) and Ike was better than Honeyghan & Breland. He also arguably beat Tito and Tito was DEFINITELY better than Breland & Honeyghan.

 

honeyghan whupped an unbeaten donald curry. i like quartey, but he doesnt have a single win over a great fighter.

 

delahoya got a gift against quartey and fought a weakened trinidad while still managing to look like shit. I hardly consider that past due version of trinidad some top tier welterweight. starlings key victories were decisive.

 

I got the Fujio Ozaki on my computer right now and that was not so decisive. Both these guys had moments when they fought to the level of their competition. Both also could be out worked. I think it comes down to who actually had the better skills and boxing ability.

 

"Not much is a lot for De La Hoya"

 

Is that quote from Foreman better, or Steward saying in the Forbes fight "Oscar looks as good as he did ten years ago"??

 

Honeyghan whupped a weight-drained and much less than 100% Curry.
