    Burley KO 5.

    I see body shots, which Burley was famed for. Perhaps not in the first wave, Burley fired aggresivley in the first few, but in the second more careful wave.

    What do you think?

    De La Hoya has never been dominated. You could argue he's lost a couple of fights by 2-3 points. He's durable, and has skills to give anyone a decent fight at 154lbs. Ive never seen enough of Burley to grade him. Too many questionable decisions throughout De La Hoya's career.

    I believe the fight would look very similar to Oscar's fight with Hopkins. Burley liked to move around, feint, and counter punch. Oscar wouldn't have as much height, nor reach, to overcome as in the Hopkins fight. I do believe Burley would move around a little more than Bernard did in his fight with De la Hoya. Burley would catch Oscar with the cleaner punches all through the night, as Oscar would try to move in close to take advantage of his edge in hand speed. The problem for De la Hoya would be Burley's movement to avoid these fast combo's, and Burley's simple counters after the misses.

    Burley by decision. Oscar would be bruised, and bleeding from the mouth and nose, but still on his feet at the end.

    I hate to pick apart your post, but Burley did go down in his career, most notably against Ezzard Charles, and Moore was only beaten once.

    Were talking about the guy SRR ducked fighting a guy who got schooled when he faced Mayweather, Quartey, Mosley, Whitaker, Hopkins, Sturm and only has a career from weight draining and gift decisions???
