    The 1997-1999 version of Oscar De La Hoya vs today's version of Mayweather. At 154, it was a close fight. At 147, who wins?

    I could see Floyd beating him, but I would favor Oscar. Solid left jab he could fire once or several times, above average reflexes and speed, versatile footwork, a very complete and varied offensive arsenal (including an underrated right hand to go along with his deadly left hooks), and an underrated ring IQ. I think his timing with the jab could offset Floyd's rhythm, turn his straight-line counter-punching style into a liability , and put forth enough creative offense to score cleanly and pull it out in the end, with a 7-5 type decision.

    Their acatual fight was not as close as the scores indacated. In this fanasty match up. I do expect a close fight. De La Hoya has a lot going for him. Size, power and skills. However he was always more of a fighter than a boxer, I think this plays in to Mayweather's hands.
    My pick is Mayweather by decision winning 7 or 8 rounds.

    Oscar has the size and pedigree to not be outclassed, but against the Floyd that fought Baldomir(Willingness to move and youth), Oscar gets clearly outboxed.

    I'd take Mayweather to win by close decision again.

    I go with Floyd all day. Unlike Oscar, Floyd does rather well against the odds.

    The fight at 154 really wasn't that close. I had it 8-4 or 9-3 although I'm leaning more towards 8-4 because 9-3 seems too wide. Anyways, prime Oscar vs probably not prime Mayweather? Oscar SD.

    Floyd wins the fight with 8 or 7 rounds. Oscar never had the focus to beat someone like Floyd who bags rounds after he has his opponent figured out.

    oscar that beat quartey and outboxed tito would win. And don't even mention the 1995 version of Oscar who woulda killed floyd.
