    I agree that the struggle against Molina undercuts De La Hoya's head to head status at 135 from a historical standing.

    Molina was a very smart, very, very cagey veteran. He was the first guy to exploit Oscar's tendancy to rely on his left hand firepower by disrupting Oscar's jab with his own jab while using angles and subtle foot movement to throw off Oscar's rthym. Oscar won on physicality, youth, and enthusiasm but Molina used a lot of subtly.

    That being said Molina was no joke. Just watch his win over Tony the Tiger Lopez. And for what its worth Robert Garcia insists Molina, who was pretty much burnt out at the time, was his toughest fight.

    Regardless.....Its one of the best punches ive ever seen Oscar land on a guy, the left hand that puts out Paez is pure brutality.

    De La Hoya looked better in his fight with Tito than he did against Vargas...
