Who wins at welterweight... Paul Williams vs De La Hoya?

/\ This. Williams may have amazing size, reach and stamina......... but his defense sucks and his true skill level is decent at best. The fact that a guy half his size with half his athleticism (Quintana) was able to outbox him, and beat him, was very telling to me (and I don't care if he KO1'd him in the rematch, there's no excuse for him not doing that the first fight). Prime Oscar would have beat the **** out of him. Middle rounds KO. And I'm a guy who couldn't stand Oscar.

 

dlh woops his ass

 

:rofl

nice visual, and i have to agree

 

i gues im the only dumbass here i think pw would have a great chance in the fight he has real good chin and being a southpaw would help stop the left hook of oscar and his punch output and size smothering oscar would wear him down late which he did in every big fight he was in at 147 and up i think pwill squeaks out a close descision i mean how many great fighters did odh beat in their prime

 

Yup........so far!

 

Pretty much.

 

:yep

 

ODLH in his prime? I might favor Oscar in that. Williams is capable of being outboxed, and Oscar had the speed and skillset to give him problems

Williams would knock him down though. Oscar never dealt well with angles of any kind, something Mosley was able to exploit. an awkward spaz fighter would always give him lots of trouble

 

well tell me this when have you ever seen odh dig down in a war and take the last 2 rds in a fight when he had to have them like pw did against martinez

 

DLH is a step above Williams, I think it would be a pretty routine fight for him.

 

Quartey, Whitaker... ODLH ruined his rep against Trinidad, but an objective summary of his career tells the real story.

 

Tell me this: When did you ever see Oscar lose to a Quintana-level fighter in his prime? Or even past his prime within the first five weight classes he fought at. I'll wait.

 

Oscar via bodybag! Williams leaves his chin out to dry and gets caught with everything!

 

DLH left hook would land with EASE. Williams will not see the final bell.

 

We could have closed the thread when Luke made post #5. No long winded analysis needed.
