Tommy Hearns vs. Oscar De La Hoya

Luigi1985 · 10-10-2007, 10:34 AM

Who wins at 147 lbs and why? Both at their best of course...

Holmes' Jab · 10-10-2007, 10:42 AM

I'd pick very few fighters to beat a peak Hearns at 147Ibs. De La Hoya isn't one of 'em, although he'd have his moments.

Hearns, by clear UD.

De La Hoya probably has a better chin than Hearns. Hearns was much busier outside with the jab and relied on that to control opponents from long range. De La Hoya lacked upperbody and head movement at welterweight. Quartey caught De La Hoya with many jabs, and his right hand hit the target often as well.

De La Hoya has better combinations than Hearns, and no doubt about it in my opinion. Especially when it comes to variety.

It would not be an easy fight for Hearns, but he'd win a decision.

Hearns by TKO - 9

De La Hoya's gonna have to win with his jab, which isn't going to bother Tommy a great deal. He doesn't have the hammer to keep Hearns honest, or the unorthodox style like a Barkley to get surprised with.

De La Hoya's too conditioned to fight a specific way - a way that Tommy won't be heavily troubled by.

Oscar's whiskers will keep him in there a while.... but too much punch and talent on Tommy's end for DLH to overcome.

Hearns in a TKO by the sixth round. Too much arsenal for Oscar, who wouldn't know how to deal with Tommy.

Hearns by TKO.

cuchulain · 10-10-2007, 03:57 PM

Hearns by wide decision or mid to late rounds stoppage.

More power, too tall, better chin, more boxing skill.

bumdujour · 10-10-2007, 04:00 PM

hearns will outjab oscar. so oscar would have to go into dangerland and actually fight this guy........but will he do it??=

i doubt it. he´ll get his ass outjabbed all night, lose on points then smile into the camera and say he was robbed. little bastard.

Tommy will land a punch on oscar just like he did with Duran............

Say goodnight to that bitch La Hoya...............

He just said that DLH had a better chin than Hearns, and he´s totally right...

achillesthegreat · 10-10-2007, 04:53 PM

DLH will stop him in 1 out of 3 bouts. Hearns jab and movement is too good. Plus I wouldnt' be suprised if his power and body shots discouraged him big time.

sweet_scientist · 10-10-2007, 04:57 PM

If it took Ray 14 rounds to stop him, it would take DLH more than 15. In any case, DLH wouldn't last 15 with the hitman, not even in a trilogy.

Robbi · 10-10-2007, 05:00 PM

I would go as far to say if anyone thinks Hearns has a better chin than De La Hoya, your either a Hearns nuthugger or a De La Hoya hater.

De La Hoya has been stopped once in his entire career, and has got a reputation as having a "good chin".

Apart from being dropped against Quartey and stopped against Hopkins he's never looked in serious trouble. However, I do concede De La Hoya was dropped early at 130lbs by two opponents.

I'm not sure Hearns could have survived Mosley's bombs which De La Hoya took when they first fought.
