12 rounds,who wins?

Paul was one of my favorites in the early 1980s but De La Hoya was better and Paul could be hit. De La Hoya would be tested, but IMO De La Hoya by UD 12 or KO10-11

De La Hoya was tall and skinny at Lightweight.
Jimmy Paul was with the Kronk team at one point.
Got to go De La Hoya, more strings to his bow a better all round boxer.
Paul was more the stationary type and relied on his arms and not his movement to get things done.
