Don't see a lot of talk about the old golden boy so I decided to make a thread about him. If you want my opinion, i'd say he could possible pull off a decision win over Benitez a la his fight with Whittaker
I would struggle to see Oscar beating Benitez. He won a very close and debatable decision over a slipping Pernell Whitaker. I think Benitez`s more aggressive style than Whitaker would give Oscar too many problems.
Thats possible. Palomino was tough on the inside but if Oscar can use his legs he may be able to avoid that. DelaHoya may get a decisin over 12 but not 15
Bad feeling ODH should call up Curtis Cokes and ask what going 23 rounds with prime Napoles was like, and which Dallas plastic surgeons Curtis used post-fight, when he got back to Big D.
When Oscar reached Welterweight that was where he sort of hit a wall as far as not being the bigger man. At `30 and `35 even `40 DelaHoya had a huge advantage. At `47 he had to use some finesse and box.
