I think that DLH takes this one. Superior hand speed, slightly better power and boxing skills wins him the fight. I'm thinking a clear 7-5 UD for DLH. What do you guys think?
DLH is too big for Morales (forget the Hoya/Pac fight, DLH is done) prime v prime. I dont doubt that a prime Morales could beat the same version that lost to Pacman but in their prime it would be a different story. DLH would outpoint Morales because of size & thats the only reason.... Morales is the greater fighter p4p IMO & would beat the **** out of him if they were the same size, he is just too relentless & tough for DLH, Oscar would be in survival mode from about rd 9 onwards & lose a clear UD but H2H Oscar takes this one unfortunately. :good
I believe the highest Morales was ranked was no2 in 2004, this was about 2 days before DLH fought Hopkins I saw the list, I can only remember the top 4....... 1. Hopkins 2. Morales 3. Mayweather 4. Delahoya Ps. I personally had Morales no1 on a couple of occassions in his career.... once when he was the 122 lb king & destroying everyone, I think it was 1998/99 & the other time was between 2002 & 04, from the 2nd to the 3rd Barrera fight. I also think Oscar was lucky to be regarded as the no1 in the 90s as I thought Roy Jones was always superior at that time. :good
De La Hoya in the 90's/(Early) 00's owns. (IMO, Can hold his own against any fighter in his weight class)
