I just got through downloading and then watching the fight a couple years ago between Oscar De La Hoya and Felix Sturm. I agreed with Lampley, Merchant and Roy Jones jr. that Sturm deserved to win a close decision by a 1 to 3 point margin. The punch stats spelled it out clearly and the body language of the 2 fighters also suggested that Sturm was in very good shape at the end of the fight, a little better than Oscar. It was a home country (rather than town) decision. If the fight had taken place in Germany, Sturm would have won easily.

Anyway, I brought up this fight mainly because Sturm's style is similar to that of Winky Wright in several ways. They both throw a lot of jabs, keep their hands held high in front of their face and their elbows in to protect their body. Sturm is naturally a bit bigger than Wright but his punching power is no greater. That's why I would favor Wright over De La Hoya. However, let's see what happens between Taylor and Wright 1st.

De La Hoya - Margarito would be an excellent fight. Margarito is younger but not really any faster and their power is comparable. They match up well and there would be plenty of action with a good variety of punches thrown, little if any clinching and no running. I think De La Hoya could win a close decision.

De La Hoya - Hatton will never happen. Hatton is not big enough or strong enough to deal with Oscar's power or much longer reach.
