    No more than 9 rounds. Morales had a chin no doubt but Oscar was very hungry back then.

    My money's on De La Hoya.

    Edit: By stoppage.

    It would be the height of Oscar that would pose a problem for Morales,not the size or weight.

    I feel a fighter can be taller then his opponent,but that doesn't necessarily mean that fighter is the bigger man.

    When Oscar came in for his fight with Pacquiao,he wasn't the bigger man like everyone expected.Oscar was just the taller man,being outweighed by Manny.

    IMO the height,jab,speed and power,would be to much for Morales from a young hungry fighter like De La Hoya.

    If any fighter with under 15 fights is going to beat the veteran Morales,it would be a young Oscar.Lets not forget,De La Hoya did have a long amature career with over 200+ fights.Oscar Came up to the pros pretty damn seasoned.

    Oscar mid to late rd TKO in an exciting fight to say the least.
