GGG v. De La Hoya at 160

Who takes it ?

I think it's too early in GGG's career to start pitching him in hypothetical fights against all-time greats. We still don't really know how good he is.

That said, based on the evidence available, GGG by mid-rounds KO - Oscar was never a real middleweight and struggled - arguably lost - against Sturm who while a solid fighter, is definitely GGG's inferior.

ODLH had a limited middleweight record.

Looked fat and underwhelming against Sturm
Was in shape and competitive against Hopkins, until the champ turned up the heat.

Can't really expect Oscar to come out on top against the stronger GGG.
With intelligent boxing, he would probably give Golovkin more problems then he's ever encountered.
But ODLH was famous for his late round meltdowns, and that's when GGG would put him away. As with Hopkins, Oscar might expire from a shot down below.

I'm not on Golvkin's nuts like everyone else but at 160 I could see him beating De La Hoya who in my opinion loss to Sturm as well as was KO'd by Hopkins.

golovkin stops the golden boy by the ninth or tenth at this weight

Agreed. At the moment I'd give it to De La Hoya - but that might change if/when I see more of Golovkin.
