Dick Tiger vs. Oscar De La Hoya

Post by scorpio83 »

15 Rounds Middleweight Bout

Tiger would swarm all over the Golden Boy with hard counters on the body and head to either take a decision or stopping him late. What do you guys think and who do you got?

Oscar De La Hoya was not a real middleweight. He was tops, a welterweight at best. Dick Tiger would be too strong for him.

Tiger by decision.

I agree Oscar was not a middleweight but he was successful as a Jr middle.
No matter what Dick destroys Oscar.

Agreed

Tiger is too strong for De La Hoya. Middleweight in general is just a bridge too far for Oscar really. He could compete with guys there, but I don't think he'd ever be at his best there.
