De la Hoya, Trinidad, Mosley - in what order do you rank them?

No I don't think he was a monster at LW. He just fought poor opposition, like MM at LHW.

His best performance in his career is easily the first victory over DLH. He never looked that good at LW for me.

He has rapid hands, top level power and raw iron chin. But he isn't gonna get to Leonard imo. Benny should be able to keep him at range and box his ears off.

I think he beats McLarnin though.

 

Almost Everyone who saw those fights knows Oscar won vs Trinidad quite comfortably, comfortable enough for him to give away rounds, and controlled Shane in the rematch rather easily. I shouldn't say easily but Oscar did win 116-112, maybe 117-111 (absolute worst case was 115-113 though). Shane looked like he wanted to quit around the 7th or 8th round. Shane did beat Oscar in the first fight though where Oscar fought very ignorantly thinking he would just roll over Shane opposed to actually outboxing him like he did in the rematch.
Oscar also had a better resume than both.
Its a shame though Mosley and Trinidad never happened. That would have been interesting but looking at what Forrest did to Shane, its hard to imagine him being able to take Tito's power well.

 

One thing about those fighters mentioned. Both tito and mosley's career were elevated immensely with those wins over Oscar. But poor Oscar, Probably 2 of his 5 biggest fights and he gets messed over on the cards. You give him that win over tito, and the Mosley rematch and his ATG ranking significantly solidifies. I know Oscar had the gift vs Sturm, but he never belonged at MW anyway, but those 2 fights really hurt him, both mentally at the time, and where he fits in all-time now. But at least he got paid well and still does. lol

 

IMO these three are bout as evenly matched as you can get.

 

Don't forget many think quartey and pernell beat him .I think strum beat him but I also think odlh beat mayweather ,tito and mosley 2nd time round...his losses to Hopkins and pac hurt they hurt real bad.

But overall odlh did waaaymore

 

Oscar first. I'm putting Mosley at number 2. I think he would've beaten Trinidad if given the chance and he holds a legit win over Oscar. The Margarito win was on par with anything Tito did.

 

De la Hoya had the best resume and I felt he beat Trinidad (although he gave it away by making it close enough to lose with his late strategy) and he defeated Mosley in the Rematch imo.

So head to head I have him first but it's close. Resume I have him first by a wider margin.
