I was watching some of Oscar's older fights and I think that a.. prime DLH would outbox or Ko everyone in today's WW division. Paulie, Thurman, Maidana, Bradley, Broner, Pac would get put away by the left hook. Even Floyd would lose a dec. Please don't bring up the 2007 fight when Oscar was semi-shot and a part time fighter. This is a 1997-1999 Oscar. The Jr. Middles are different. I think Oscar beats Canelo, but might have some problems with Lara. If Martinez and GGG make 154, I think Oscar loses. I'm diff not the biggest DLH fan, but I miss some of the big events he was in. What do you guys think?:thumbsup
Oscar was a bad, bad dude in his prime. One of the best fighters in boxing history. People seem to judge him now based on how he performed when he turned into a part-time fighter. But there was a time when Oscar was young and dangerous in the ring. But regardless of age, he fought EVERYONE.
Agree. Prime ODH had a wicked jab, decent footwork and fairly fast hands. We also know he wouldn't duck anyone either. You can say in his prime he lost big fights but they were all damn close with the exception of Bhop.
Oscar would destroy. Iron chin. World class technique, power. Women's lingerie aside, the guy was a bad ass.
Oscar is so overrated, he loses to Floyd and PAC is a pick'em fight depending on the old PAC shows up. He probably beats the rest Bradley and JMM would give him a good run. Porter and Thurman are to green. At LMW Lara beats him but he is al won't for Canelo. Forget mw
Prime Oscar like Tito Trinidad, they always fought the best, and prime Oscar was very good... not overrated at all.
Oscar would massacre Martinez, especially at 154 Floyd and Lara give him the most trouble The Manny fight would be an epic war A 154, GGG would be interesting, but he's never faced anyone with the complete package like Oscar, so I can't pick him to win naturally
Old shot Oscar took 5 or 6 rounds off Floyd...won 4 of the first 6. Prime Oscar (99') destroys that whole division.
