Roberto Duran vs Oscar Dela Hoya at 147

Duran would have trouble getting past Oscar's jab and the power DLH had at 147 would keep him humble. I see Duran being frustrated and quitting mid-late rounds. Otherwise a UD for DLH, imo

 

Duran by TKO in 12.

 

Well some things are obvious ,,,,,so.

 

Duran at his best wins ODLH was like a lesser version of SRL. Duran could be hit and miss above Lightweight, but since we're matching both fighters at their best. Then the version of Duran that beat Palomino, SRL, wins this.

 

Uh, he got past Ray Leonards jab, no problem. He'd get past Oscars and if you thought Tito was after him wait till Roberto's in his grill.

 

In this match ups I believe you are picking fighters at their very best sonDuran is the easy pick.

 

Duran beats him, Oscar isn't Leonard, he's easier to hit than Leonard for a start and would fade late unlike Leonard. Oscar also had a bad habit of choosing the wrong tactics and being drawn into the wrong type of fight, too passive vs Tito, too aggressive vs Mosley as examples.

 

Yeah and Trinidad was made to look a fool sooo.

 

Didn't Trinidad win that fight?

 

Nope.

 

Duran was a master at getting inside the jab.

 

Duran was more skilled than Tito.

 

Also five inches shorter.

 

Yeah just like against Benitez

 

Chicken De La Hoya gets taken out in a stretcher... Duran was levels above the transvestite.
