if de la hoya chose to fight margarito back in 08 instead of manny, the time margarito beat cotto.. how many PPV buys would that fight generate? What do you think de la hoya's chances of winning considering margarito isn't a hard target to hit.
If he shows up in the same shape he fought Manny in, he gets his ass handed to him again. If he doesn't feel the need to try and drop extra weight for speed (which he wouldn't for a ponderous Margo) or even fights him at 154, he has no real trouble outpointing Margo. Long night maybe and he might flag toward the end, but he'd do okay. Solid UD.
hoya would have fought margo at 154, the only reason he dropped to 147 for pac was because pac was at lightweight and they had to meet in the middle. at 154 hoya would've destroyed margo.
pacs size and the fact that he was an unproven welterweight made the fight a JOKE. but imagine a fight with margarito who was the hottest welterweight that time.. easily 2 million buys for me
De La Hoya would have knocked him out. Margarito does not move and at 154lbs, can't see Margarito handling the weight.
Now way Oscar would win , he would have been at what ever weight he wanted . And no ones getting the the ring with the golder boy with cast on his fist .
