    He should be favoured to do 12 rounds with any of them.

    Honeyghan is overrated and would get stopped by ODLH.

    Hearns would be a terrible match up for Oscar ...

    Napoles would be very tough ..

    Robinson had a shot at stopping anyone ...

    i am a huge DLH fan and believe prime Lloyd is too powerful for him. look what he did to superstar Don Curry.

    I can see him gassing out against a few guys. he gets stopped far easier over the 15 round distance than the 12 anyhow.

    Hearns, Robinson, Leonard, possibly Curry, and a young Bobby Joe Young.

    Outbox early on. but with De La Hoya's stamina issues & Cuevas' constant hammering. would make it highly doubtful Oscar will make it through the fifteenth. Cuevas by stoppage somewhere around the 14th or 15th round.

    DLH was dropped for far more than the referee's count by a single hook to the liver from Hopkins. Duran used that exact same punch to cleanly knock out Monroe Brooks. Robinson was another capable of doing this, as was Walker. Fitz weighed 150-1/2 when he lifted the MW Title from The Nonpareil, and he did compete under 147 after winning that championship. Kid Lewis was also a deadly body puncher, and his downstairs attack wasn't always dependent on attrition to succeed.

    Over 15 rounds, Oscar would be in desperate trouble with Montreal Duran, Cuevas, Palomino and Lewis.

    If Oscar truely has a weakness for the body. Then a bodyshot expert like Palomino cannot be dismissed.
