There is no version of De La Hoya that would have been able to deal wtih what Pacquiao brought. He didn't look bad at all against Forbes, he looked good against Mayorga and Mayweather. Pacquiao had the right style, the right skills, and the right physical abilities to knock Oscar out IMO at any point in his career.
ODLH lacked any sort of explosiveness or work rate... he circled basically one way around the ring the whole entire fight. Legs seemed to have failed him... he didn't use them at all.
