    De La Hoya isn't stronger than McCallum in many areas. He throws better combinations, thats about it. After looking at how De La Hoya sagged from Mosley's body shots in their rematch it would not bode well for him against McCallum. IMO when it comes to inside work, McCallum again gets the nod.


    McCallum on points or late TKO.

    A lotta people know what i think of Oscar, but i must say that his lateral movement may be the bit he edges McCallum in,

    So will I. McCallum was bigger, stronger, and more durable. McCallum had more power and better stamina as well. DeLaHoya wouldn't be able to hurt McCallum but his speed would keep him in the fight for a while.

    Oscar again is being underrated, im not saying he takes this but IMO these 2 are on par and its almost a 50/50 fight. Oscar had better movement,faster better combinations and still had a good chin at 154, I think he gets the better of the early rounds Mikes body shots and counterpunching serves him well though(also being the naturally bigger man) and he inches slightly ahead by the late rounds. Im gonna go with Mccallum by split decision. A draw would not be a bad call either.
