Veron Forrest vs Oscar De La Hoya

[gilgamesh]

The scoring of the 2nd De La Hoya vs Mosley fight was just being debated on a different thread, and it reminded me of this fight that never happened. There's probably already a thread about it somewhere around here, but what the hell, let's have a fresh conversation about it.

Let's say 2002 or 2003 with this fight.

[Woldemar]

IMO Oscar by TKO 11

[gilgamesh]

It's definitely a case of styles make fights, because yeah I agree that Oscar would beat him. Not sure if he'd have stopped him, but I'd be picking him to win a hard fought decision.

[Nile4000]

Oscar UD.

[emallini]

Oscar would land the left hook late after a good fight.

[Ambling Alp II]

Forrest would probably have given him trouble, but De La Hoya probably would have won. Would have been interesting.
