De la hoya or Mayweather?

Pernell Whitaker gave De La Hoya Hell while De La Hoya was young and unbeaten. Many think Whitaker lost due to a bad judges' decision. Whitaker was an old worn out (sorry to say this about him) coke head at the time of the fight. But it was his style that De La Hoya could not handle. But Pernell didn't land as many shots and few hard shots. A guy came along with a similar style, who could hit named Shane Mosley. Shane Mosley as we all know beat De La Hoya. De La Hoya had a chance to adjust and rematch, he lost again. He just can't beat that particular style. Is De La Hoya an all time great? Hell yeah he is. But you have to face facts, Mayweather has a similar style to that of Whitaker and Mosley, the question is, can he throw enough punches to win. I say "Yes he can". I don't think there will be a KO, but I believe Mayweather will take a unanimous decision. And in my opinion, De La Hoya hasn't beaten a big name since 2002 versus Fernando Vargas. 5 years is a long time, especially in boxing. I predict Mayweather in 12, then Golden Boy Promotions will try to sign him into their stable of fighters.

Oscar De La Hoya.
Numbers are deceving
Yes, Mayweather is undefeated. But, look what class he's been fighting... When DeLaHoya was in the same weight class Mayweather fights in, he was knocking people left and right. DeLaHoya has experience as well.
So, numbers don't tell you what really is important in a fight.
While Mayweather can brag about being undefeated, he doens't realize it take more than a perfeect record. It takes heart, as cliche as it may sounds. That's a quality -i guarantee theGolden Boy demonstrates fight after fight, year after year.
Therefore, in my opinion making The Golden Boy the better fighter.
