Oscar De La Hoya V Ronald Winky Wright @ Light Middleweight - in their prime

LOL at the two people who voted DLH by KO or TKO.

 

I actually think Winky possessed more and his record against the elite proves it.:deal He showed more heart and wanted it more. He won most of his big fights while Oscar faded down the stretch and didn't do enough to pull out wins. Also what division did Oscar dominate? Certainty not WW.
Also to completely disregard styles is ignorance on your part when talking fantasy match ups styles come into play big time as it's one of the most important factors.

 

I was thinkin the exact same thing. This is a guy that didnt break sweat against a puncher like Tito

 

This should have been a public poll. No way does Oscar KO Winky. His toughness is perhaps the most underrated thing about him.

 

I pick Winky in this matchup but Oscar would'nt get dominated in this fight, from a skills point of view Oscar in his prime has never been dominated, and Oscar has fought some of the most skilled fighters in the history of boxing.

 

Im sorry but Wright went toe to toe with Vargas and didnt win. He dosent beat De La Hoya at 154. Hes just not fast enough.

 

Oscar's flurries would end up hitting nothing but winks arms. WW would use that long right jab to disrupt Oscars rhythm all night.

 

Tend to agree, also Oscar wouldnt' like having to fight on the back foot for the majority of the fight, kinda like the Hopkins fight...

That right jab would be murder for DLH, but no way does DLH get shut out or anything...

 

So because Pavlik beat JT, and JT beat Hopkins, Pavlik beats Hopkins?

Winky beat Vargas. They just gas Vargas a generous, gift decision. And Vargas is a big guy. Yet, Winky was willing to exchange with him shot for shot. He could've won a wider decision if he had just boxed him and jabbed him to death but seeing that this was his first big fight in US soil, he wanted to make a point and trade shot for shot. And that's exactly what he did.

DLH boxed Vargas and used his superior boxing skills and it showed. But if DLH had decided to man up and make it a dog fight like Winky and tried to prove a point, i think he would've gotten KOed. Nevertheless, let's not forget that the fight was very close up until the KO.

 

Oscar would have trouble with Wright at 154, I think Oscar would win an unspectacular close decision against Wright.

 

Oscar in his prime would have beaten Winky. Winky barely beat Bronco McKart by split decision.

 

Winky being a bigger man
Winky UD

 

I'm one of the few guys on here that never hacks n Oscar. I'm a fan, but he didn't want none of the Winkster:nono
