De La Hoya vs Ross

How do see this fight panning out over 12 rounds at 147 pounds.

Will Oscar be too strong and too hard hitting or will Ross be able to demonstrate superior hand and foot speed to out point the bigger man?

 

Both fought most of their career north of 135 so I wouldn't wanna drain them in a fantasy fight.

 

I'm unsure.

I think Ross might be able to frustrate and out point Oscar.

 

Hard to say. I mean Ross didn't stay at LW that long during his own career and neither did Oscar.

I think Oscar was best as a LWW though but figure if he wants the extra 7 pounds he can have them, as can Ross.

Is there a weight you would favour Ross and a weight ypu would favour Oscar?

 

I think dangerous mismatch is a bit of an over exaggeration.

How abut 147 in Ross's day, so fight night weight?

 

I've come round to your line of thinking after looming at weights more closer.

I always thought of Ross as a Welterweight who'd held the LW title but I guess, like Armstrong, the opposite is true.

Someone of his stature is a bit unfair to be matching against the likes of Hoya, Trinidad and Forest.

Despite his lengthy reign he was evidently a naural LW (again like Armstrong).

Im not sure why I thought he was bigger.

 

Some people are picking Armstrong to do the same on another thread!
