    No. De La Hoya couldn't drop Steve Forbes...and Margo's chin is probably the best in boxing.

    Well.....He's not EASY to find either. If Floyd Mayweather had trouble finding his mark on DLH I think it's safe to say that Marg would also find it difficult to track DLH down. Of course until the championship rounds where DLH seems to fade. Again....I'd have to lean towards Marg, but I can't count DLH out completely.

    Can De La Hoya knock out Tony? Umm...how big is Oscar's baseball bat? ;)

    Honestly, the version of Tony I seen against Cotto, nobody around his size knocks him out. The man had the most determination I've ever seen from anyone in a long time. Cotto could have kicked him in the nuts, and I still think Marg would of kept coming at him. Some of those shots Cotto landed were wicked...I mean somebody power walking towards you, and you bang them with the hardest uppercut you got, snap there head back, and they keep coming like a tank is crazy. Margarito wasn't going to be denied that win no matter what happened.

    Quartey - possbile

    page - doubt it

    Jantuah- big at the weight so possible, but doubt ut

    mosley- not the power he had at lightweight unlikely

    oscar- best chance of those mentioned- tko is a big possibility

    starling- hardly a knock out artist

    forrest- would be mayorga mark 3

    Not at this age. Maybe a prime DLH could stunn him or catch Margo with a punch he don't see coming and stop him, but not today. DLH won't see 12rds, it's too much pressure from Margo and DLH runs out of gas by the 8th rd.

    I'd rate Margo's chin better than Mosley and Pater. Mosley was rocked by Forrest in their first fight....he was almost out, it's amazing he survived the round.. I believe it was the secound round.... and Sam Peter was knocked down by Jameel Mcline three times last year.

    Tony has a better chance to knock out De La Hoya than De La Hoya knocking him out.

    It's been so long since I've seen the fight... I don't remember a headbutt... I just remember Shane clinching for dear life while Forrest tagged him the whole round.. enlighten me on this headbutt.:think
