Oscar Dela Hoya vs Winky Wright at 154

[El Flaco Maqnifico]

If these two superstars had met at 154 who do you believe would have prevailed?

Maybe they still meet?

I lean marginally toward DLH.

Thats true but I posted this topic because I just do not see this fight happening ever. years ago after Oscar beat Fernando Vargas, he had the option of fighting Winky who at the time was the ring magazine rated #2 contender at 154 and instead of fighting him he fights a easy mismatch with Yory Boy Campas. If I recall Winky at the time was not getting much notoriety. The fight at the time to most people would not have had a huge draw. Me I think the fight would have been a huge draw at the time because of De LA Hoya's popularity then and now is incredible. If not for Shane Mosley the average fan would not know of Winky Wright.

Winky Wright would, I believe, win this fight with "ring generalship".
Winky's a better overall boxer than DLH is, who tends to NOT throw the right jab, even tho he's got a pretty good one.
Winky's got better defense inside - DLH tends to move away for most of his defense, while Winky can make his opponents miss on the inside, and give them something for their troubles, too.
It would be a great, tactical bout, with Winky winning by decision over DLH.
