    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.

    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.

    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.
