Maywheather and it was close. Maywheather's style of being quick made it look like De La Hoya was boxing worse than he actually was.

De La Hoya won in my opinion. You cant have a guy come up in weight and challenge the champ and throw 1 or 2 punch combos through the fight. I think you have to convincingly beat the champ and in this case there were lots of questions. Not taking anything from Mayweathers greatness.. I just thought he should have pressed a little more. But hope the rematch shuts me up!

I have watched the fight 3 times over now. I have Mayweather winning 115 to 113. I can definitely see how a judge could have DeLaHoya winning. The fight was very close to someone who doesn't have the punch stat numbers. DeLaHoya had 2 or 3 flurries of several punches each round of which he looked very aggressive threw a lot of punches, but really didn't land anything significant. Floyd commanded the fight almost all the way through. If you could be swayed by those flurries it makes for a close decision.
After seeing the punch stat numbers floyd clearly won, not because he landed a higher percentage, but because he landed around 100 more punches in the fight and landed more power punches than Oscar.

mayweather won that fight...wit defense, speed, ring generalship, counterpunchin...de la hoya may have thrown alott more punches but he was hittin air, arms and elbows...yea de la hoya was the aggressor..but it was uneffective aggressiveness..if that fight would have went 15 rounds like championship fights back in the day...de la hoya would have been in serious trouble...by the 9th-10th rounds mayweather started to become the aggressor and was the fresher of the 2 at that point

Close match, De La Hoya in my opinion should have retained the belt because it was so close. Mayweather may have done better but not enough to have the belt change waists.

i think its funny that every time a fight comes down to a decision de la hoya loses, is it real or a marketing strategy for the next big fight

Mayweather because he did. Oscar more lost that fight than Mayweather won it. Oscar could have went to the jab more and use his height advantage it would have been similar to what Lewis did to Tyson.
