Del La Hoya at 154 (Mayweather fight) VS. Margarito ( 1st Cotto fight) ?

Awkward one.

The proven method to beat Margarito is to either turn him constantly and keep him off balance, at an angle (Ala Pacquaio, Cotto 2) or to tie him up, force him backwards and power box him.

That version of ODLH had lost his foot speed really, alot of that mobility. He also wasn't as powerful as Shane was in my view in terms of muscle. Then again I'd have to favour Oscar, just because he was the much much better boxer, and had a solid chin as you mentioned.

 

What waste of time and what a stupid thread no offence but Tony had bricks in his glove the **** was cheating in the worse possible way and even with the cement glove Oscar would of boxed the **** out of him similar to when he beat Mayorga Tony is a ****ing bum who only got as far as he did cos of his granite chin and rock gloves the ****ing rat should be in prison makes me sick:fire

Very good point.

I'd argue that Shane's feet didn't look overly quick with Margo, his hands yes; but that's totally different to foot speed.

As far as Oscar, he wasn't overly quick on his feet with Ricardo Mayorga, though that may be out of design as he fought in the pocket and used lateral movement.

 

Oscar of that time would demolish both Cotto and Margaritio, though i do admit ODH would never fight those fighters because their body work, and his inability to take body shots near the later stages of his career, if you disected his latter fights you would see this, even against Mayweather, ODH would throw flurries and combos but as soon as Mayweather touch him in the stomach he backed up, and regroup, the same with the Pacquiao fight.

Cotto and Margarito would both present problems later in the fight for Oscar, but people can't seem to understand he was in a different stratosphere from them 2, I believe he would spark both of them early before any issues arrive ala the Iron chinned Mayorga, simply too much power, and way too much speed for both

 

Are you blinded by your love for the cheating low life scum bag Tony he was a cheat he had cement in his gloves its fact been proven what has he done since apart from get the **** beaten out of him by everyone he's faced the guy has zero skills his resume should be classed as void since he's a born cheat I mean look at the difference between the 1st and 2nd cotto fight without the cement he has feather fists he's a con artist whos luck run out like I said he should be rotting in prison while being raped by a big fat hairy Turk anyway to answer ur stupid thread Oscar by 12 round beatdown

 

Lampley put it very well.

Fighting Mayorga, means you have to go into the blades of a Heli-Copter. If you manage to avoid the blades then the body of the Chopper is right there for the taking


Thinking about it, aside from Oscar getting out worked, which doesn't seem likely given the fighters attitude that he had; there's no way that he could really lose to AM.

 

That was that hard work he put in with Sr, I wonder how not having Sr affected him vs. Mayweather and more importantly against Pacquiao, but hey we now all know Oscar was too busy dressing as strippers, and snorting coke, to go through a rigorous Mayweather camp
