I say ODLH beats Margarito or Cotto

[Rotten Apple]

I would take Margarito. Especially at 147

[DaxxKahn]

Tony would force DLH to fight a war...there would be no boxing involved...After looking at the way the much much smaller and light hitting Forbes marked DLH up Margarito would swell him shut.....

The 2000 version of DLH I would have picked but at 147 today...Margarito makes him an example on why fighters should know when enough is enough

[Chino]

I see boxers give ODLH a bigger challenge than brawler straight-forward guys.

ok margarito beat cotto with his power but lets remmeber people oscar is a boxer pucher his speed and power are greater then cotto it would be a tougher night for margarito then oscar i see it almost a walk in the park for oscar people say oscars washed up because pbf beat him pbf beat him by one point and lets also take notice to the fact that everyone pbf beats they say is washed up oscar is older but he can fight with the best we saw him do it

[truth32]

oh and i forgot to mention margo is slow

[Rican]

I don't think so. The Oscar of now is completely done. Oscar has avoided Margarito for some time now, so we know he's scared, as scared as he was of Trinidad in that fight. As for Cotto, they would have to fight at 147 and we saw what Oscar looked like physically at that weight. I pick Cotto and Margarito to win, especially at 147.

yea that's funny, Oscar outboxed Trinidad and made him look a fool for 9 rounds straight, Trinidad and his dad ran from the idea of a rematch as if it were the swine flu, but yea Margarito and Cotto would beat the DLH of now, but DLH in his prime at 147 would have owned and completely schooled both of them

I've always felt ODLH would beat Cotto because he is bigger,faster, and far more durable with a similar level of skills. Cotto might have had a chance with that deadly body arsenal, but besides that Oscar has the better, longer jab, he didn't get to show how hard he lands that left hook against Forbes and Mayweather because their style specifically blocks that punch, however his left hooks that landed against Mayorga were harder then any punch I've seen Cotto ever land. I love Cotto, but this fight also would be all wrong for him because Oscar is a very similar fighter to him, but twice as big(not actually, but close).

The Margarito fight would be closer, simply because Oscar wears down late in fights, but if he fought a similar fight as he employed against Mayorga I think he could go 12 strong rounds, and I don't see Margarito being able to wear Oscar down in 12 rounds. Oscar is very fast, and can land that left hook to devastating effect. If you watch Margarito against both Cotto and Cintron not to take anything away from his chin, but by putting his opponents on their back foot he really stops them from throwing their hardest punches because nobody throws as hard going backwards. However Oscar has that wonderful jab would be able to create a little distance because I saw when Cotto came forward behind his jab that Margarito was letting him a little bit, and while Cotto just backs up after throwing a combination I think Oscar would keep this fighting the middle of the ring because he has the strength, durability, and skillset to do that. Margarito was a sparing partner of Oscar's which a fighter usually only keeps if a fighter is good enough to push them, but not good enough to beat the shit out of them(except Ali).

Anyways I could see Oscar being WW champion if he really wanted to persue with the intensity he persued Mayorga or Mayweather with.

I agree. Oscar just can't fight opponents that are faster than him. That was always his weakness. He beat stronger fighters like Vargas, Mayorga, Quartey, etc. It's the faster guys that he has problems with like Shane, Floyd, and Manny.

Oscar bragged that he wanted the winner of Cotto-Margarito as his final fight but when he saw Margarito kick Cottos ass so bad he took to the hills. He wanted no part of Margarito then now or ever

Though we can't prove it, we still can, I think, legitimately think that perhaps Margarito had loaded gloves against Cotto, especially considering that he didn't hit him "that" often and that did left tremendous marks on his face. Would a plaster-less glove Margarito have beaten up Oscar? NOt sure, it is a very tricky question. Also, I wonder how Margarito did recover mentally from it all and if he'll ever be the same after the beating he got from Sugar Shane.

[superboxer]

I think both Margarito and Cotto would beat ODLH.
