Oscar De La Hoya vs Canelo Alvarez, who wins?

It would be close but De La Hoya would be the A-side. At this weight, De La Hoya would lose to Alvarez. Oscar was still very good but his best years were behind him. Also Oscar was a small junior middleweight and he would not have had the guns to take Alvarez out. Canelo by decision, 8 rounds to 4.

 

Oscar UD

 

I think Delahoya was a little greater than Canelo and fought in a tougher era, but Oscar at 154 was not at this best. But still, I think the jab of Oscar if he fights the right fight would win a close UD.

 

This is a tough one, both at weights they weren't at their best at, at opposite ends of their career trajectory.

Given that Canelo wasn't exactly blasting everyone out in them days, and DLH seemed to have more of an iron will to push himself, I'm going to slightly favour DLH but not by much. Would be a very good fight

 

I suspect the bona fide Mexican fighter wins whoever you think that is.

 

Given the size of Oscar's GIANT watermelon sized head I am surprised he didn't move up beyond 160lbs in his career. He had very good skills and they could have carried him well against lesser skilled opponents.

 

Anyone who comes to win and is world level at minimum stands a good chance at beating Canelo. It's just FACTS. He's an overrated hypejob who fooled many with his misleading, deceptive run at 168lbs

 

You don’t think its possible Oscar stops him at 147 pounds with how Miguel Cotto’s brother hurt him?

 

I am no Oscar fan as you know but he was dangerous at that weight at his peak.
