    Leonard. Too fast, too elusive. Leonard would win by KO late in the fight; if he didn't, then he would win a unanimous decision.

    Leonard just too good for DLH, it really doesnt need to be analysed too much imo, he was just better at more or less everythin', and i believe him to a better infighter, DLH never liked to get reall close, just destroyd guys from his own very comfortable range

    Leonard by UD in a 12 rounder, possible TKO in a 15 rounder.

    Leonard wide UD

    Everything De La Hoya did, Leonard did better.

    Not combinations IMO. Variety of combinations ain't even close. De La Hoya.

    Leonard flurried quicker, like in the Duran rematch and against Hagler. But the combos never had much variety and were pretty much the same.

    De La Hoya had better combinations based mainly on variety. Leonard was a bit quicker, but De La Hoya got more behind his even though he never punched as hard.

    De La Hoya did nearly everything at a high level, but Leonard did most of them at an even higher level.

    Leonard by UD, maybe late stoppage if DLH tires and Ray turns it on. Leonard was a terrific finisher.

    yeah, leonard wins cause of his hand and footspeed.

    but oscars jab would trouble him for sure.
