Here's how I think he would fair against everyone:
vs Cotto: Cotto by stoppage. Cotto would bust him up inside and be too strong/crafty. If he was able to hit Mosley at will, he would do a number on De La Hoya. Cotto can fight backing up and coming forward, southpaw and right-handed, he's just all around SCARY.
vs Margarito: This would be a better match up for Oscar than Cotto IMO. Margarito would take what Oscar has to give but return fire even worse. Margarito only knows how to go forward, but Oscar is a good counter-puncher so the style would mix very well. I wouldn't be surprised if Oscar won here though. But if Margarito gets past Cotto, I would pick him over De La Hoya.
vs Wright: Usually, I would pick Wright to box circles around De La Hoya, but due to his aging and inactivity, I see Oscar winning now. Give Winky a tune-up fight, then he wins a lopsided UD.
vs Shane Mosley: I don't think they should fight again. Shane can still compete with the best in his division. At this stage in their careers, I don't see much changing. Mosley UD.
vs Paul Williams: Williams is too active and too long for De La Hoya. Williams would make Oscar look bad.
vs Sergio Mora: Take this off the list! No one would want to see this! Oscar by UD though.
vs Steve Forbes: Just when I thought Mora would be the worst idea here, Forbes would be even worse.
At this stage in his career, Oscar would lose most of these fights. A prime De La Hoya, would be a different story. If he want's that final victory against a name, he should fight Pacquiao or Hatton. Everyone would think those fights as complete BS, but Oscar did fight Forbes so anything is possible with him.
I went for Winky.
It's logical...Winky's been looking for a fight...Winky beat 2 guys that beat Oscar and fought a close one with his third conquerer...Winky's been up as far as Light Heavy...
Oscar could kill three birds with one stone.
1)Make money in a fight in which he won't get hurt.
2)Have an opportunity off redeeming himself for the Mosely, trinidad and Hopkins losses
3)Fighting a man his own size:p
that would be a cap to his legacy if he could beat winky. though i seriously doubt he could.Quote:

I did. The safest fight and probably 1 of the 3 top money showdown from the fighter's on the list. I used to think Winky would be perfect but he is just too big for Oscar now IMO. Cotto Margarito winner would be my next pick.Quote:

Hell, bite the bullet and fight Cotto... All you're getting is older and softer.
I voted for Margo. It's been a while since I've seen Oscar hit the canvas from agonizing liver shot pain.
I wouldn't mind seeing him fight Pavlik
:peeker:
If someone wants to see a re-enactment of the Ivan Drago vs Apollo Creed result, then let's put De La Hoya in there with Pavlik...Quote:
