Oscar De La Hoya vs Antonio Margarito @ 150 (now)

Oscar got tagged at will by Stevie Forbes and his face was marked up so if Tony catches him flush then he's gonna have a lot more markings. Oscar will typically run out of steam as the fight progresses, around 7 as Margo lands some good body shots, and then outworked from there on as Tony claims a UD win.

 

Oscar wins a wide UD, he beats Margo almost as bad as Cotto is gonna. Maybe more with his chin being sturdier than Miguels.

 

I voted DLH by stoppage. DLH has the best performances against fighters like Margarito.

If you look at DLH's career you will see his toughest fights were against the Whitakers, Quarteys', but against the Mayorga's, Vargas', Chavez' he excelled!

 

DLH even at this point beats Margarita. To easy of a target for DLH :yep

 

Margarito by UD. It's pretty typical for the Mayweather fans to pick DLH. But realistically, maybe some need to look at his last fight. This is NOT the DLH from even 3 years ago. He doesn't have the pop in his punch, nor is he even a busy fighter. DLH's done at a top fighter.

 

Agreed, before the Forbes fight I would have gone with De La Hoya but not now. I also feel that Cotto would beat Oscar at this point too.

 

There won't be any later rounds to worry about. Even past prime Oscar wins by ko.

 

Yeah, I forgot about that, definately gave Mosley an edge. This changes things a bit for me but still call on Oscar to win.

 

atsch

 

This would look like the Mayorga fight all over again IMO.

 

:fire

 

Margo is not that good, he is a C+/B- fighter.

 

Jus f'n with.

 

And what is DLh today? A+? A guy who gets his faced all maked up by Forbes, who didn't even land all that much. A guy who can't even stop a natural LW like Forbes who came in lookin soft @ 150?

Today, Margarito is all wrong for DLH. Too strong, too relentless. He'll make DLH fight, and eventually wear out.

 

Some in here are real funny, first you hype Margarito for the Cotto fight( wich he will loose badly) and then u think u would smash DLH? some of u dont seem to get it, even if oscar lost to Floyd (who would humiliate margo) that doesnt mean hes shot, of course hes no longer in his prime and fading a bit, but even that version of oscar outbox Margo to a wide UD or late stoppage on cuts.
