Canelo vs De La Hoya at 154lbs

The De La Hoya of the Vargas fight.

Wha'a'g'wan?

 

De La Hoya TKO 9

Oscar's hand speed and power would cut through Canelo's defenses all night long and while Canelo is no sloth, Oscar would probably make him look like one.

 

De La Hoya wins a clear decision. He was a considerably better fighter.

 

agree with Erratic

 

Hoya's hand-speed would cut Canelo up into ribbons

Hoya was also better at catchweights (see Hopkins unification at 158)

 

I'll give Nelo's durability the benefit of the doubt and say he lasts the distance, but it's not that competitive.

With Nelo's lead feet I don't see how he gets past Oscar's jab.

DLH 9-3.

 

Agreed.

 

How about Oscar of the Mayorga and Mayweather fights?

 

Do any of tjese predictions change if Canelo manages to beat GGG?

 

Not really.

Oscar was just too quick of hand and foot for the ponderous Ginger.

 

Oscar's footspeed and handspeed had badly declined by that point, so I can see the Ginger giving the 06-07 Oscar a tough fight.
