Oscar Dela Hoya vs Roberto Duran at Light Welterweight

Duran chews him up.

He would not have been mr nice guy in that match and would have done things to Oscar like he did to Buchanon and later on, Moore. That would take Oscar out of that safety zone he liked to fight from and I think a headbut or something busts him up. And a physical disadvantage is not going translate to a DLH victory.

And I like that superior corner of Duran to probe holes in Oscar's game and simply take away his left hand. Then, what do you have?

 

Oscar is the dirt on which Duran walks

 

Duran beats the tar out of de la Hoya at lightweight , light-welterweight , welterweight and light-middleweight

 

Duran...what else???

 

Both prime, Duran kills ODLH.

 

The other thing i can easily picture with this bout---that famous shark grin of Roberto's in between rounds he did just before stepping out to meet the opponent. He was having fun to the highest degree and thoroughly enjoyed things.

Anyone else picture that kind of thing between say rounds 7 and 8?

 

Duran would win but Oscar would give a far better account of himself than 90% in here would give him credit for. He's a superb fighter and it would be no walkover.

 

Duran ****s Oscar up at any weight.

Next question.

 

Duran by TKO

 

Yeah I agree. Duran wins but it's not like it's gonna be some complete domination.

 

In all but one fight against Trinidad in which Oscar literally ran for three rounds,

Oscar was given a gift decision or was clearly beaten every time he fought top competition (Mosley, Whitaker, Sturm, Hopkins, Pacquiao, Mayweather)

his best wins are well-past prime Chavez and padded record B-level Camacho

you are giving him too much credit

 

Duran and it would be fun to watch.
