How would a 26 year old Oscar de la Hoya do today at the welterweight division?

Most certainly, I've always maintained that a prime ODLH would of beaten Mayweather and quite possibly Pacquiao if De La Hoya was younger when they fought and not at the tail end of his career. One of the greatest Imo.

 

He'd do f all for three reasons:

1. He has a glass chin
2. He wouldn't be able to get away with PED use
3. He would be destroyed in embarassing fashion by the likes of Khan, Brook and Lee Purdy.

 

Sure, he beats them all, or finds a way to lose. He always found a way to lose in his biggest fights.

 

He beats everyone and DLH isn't even ranked that high in the all time great rankings by most

Thats why I think Mayweather and Pacquiao are so damn overrated

 

Oscar lost his biggest fights, dont trust him at all

 

Pac and Mayweather still beats him.

 

I think Oscar is an idiot for fighting the way he did against tito! I'll leave it at that.

 

everyone and their mother knows he was robbed against Tito

 

ok but he didnt beat Ike Quartey or Sturm so take it how you want it

 

Ike fight was close. But, yes, Sturm was robbed

 

The Tito would be win was way more important than the Sturm would be loss or the Quartey fight

 

He beats everyone on that list but Pacquiao and Mayweather.
Even this older version of Pacquiao beats a prime DLH.
Pacquiao all wrong for the happy hooker.

 

De La Hoya was a hell of a fighter. Never ducked anyone, gave a hell of a fight to anyone he fought in his prime, (even when he lost) hell of a beard on him. I would pick him to beat all of the fighters named, maybe except pacquiao

 

the loss Quartey fight would've been huge. also losing to Sturm means hes only 5 weight division champ and never fights B hop, so i dont agree bros
