Oscar De La Hoya vs Marlon Starling

[nickcat0]

Sorry can't let you get away with calling Tito limited . He deserves more respect than that .

A guy who fought everyone , always showed great heart in overcoming adversity in a fight , and could bang with the best . I'll admit he could sometimes be caught early in a fight but I think calling him limited is unfair .

This is all opinion, but Tito was rather slow footed with average boxing skills and defense. He had a great deal of success because of his power, strength and recuperative abilities not necessarily his boxing skills. When confronted with opponents who he didn’t have a physical advantage over he had problems. Limited may have been a bit harsh, but it’s hard to call him anything better than an average technician.

Okay , I see where you're coming from and there is a lot of truth in what you say......still, I love Tito .

Trinidad Is overrated If you could neutralize his power he was in trouble Im supirsed His loss to B-Hop doesn't saddened you more.. I also have to question his heart as he had to revert to dirty tactics against Reid and Vargas He also retired after every 1 sided loss he had.

De La Hoya UD. Starling was very skilful but a bit one paced, I can see a similar fight to when Curry beat him.

No doubt about it: Oscar de la Hoya. Remember that dramatic knockout against Tomás Molinares, when Starling lost his title?

Starling would win by close decision, if he didn't decide to clown the fight away.

That's it right there! Starling was a bit nonchalant in a lot of his fights. But you had to like the way he could take a fighter apart when he showed up with his A-game. Took Lloyd Honeyghan apart!
