Keep 'em coming. With a large enough sampling I'd be curious to see what kind of pattern if any emerges when averaged out in outcome prevalence (revenge versus repeat). :think

Mosley beat De La Hoya twice in 1985 when both were in the Juniors division, aged 14 and 12 respectively. (in 228 bouts only three other men beat DLH: Pepe Reilly, Ruben Espinoza and Marco Rudolph - and only Rudolph in the Seniors)

Mosley beat De La Hoya in 2000 and 2003 by SD and UD for the lineal 147lbs and 154lbs championships respectively.




Going by results, 4-0 in a span of 18 years seems pretty conclusive as far as Mosley having DLH's # - but, the scoring of the rematch was controversial and the first meeting, though clearer for Mosley (despite being a SD) was very close.

 

I know. :readthre:

 

Matthysse vs. Maidana, if that ever happens, will be a reversal. :good

(Maidana was 3-0-1 in the amateurs, but all four contests were extremely close and some could have gone either way)
