DeLaHoya / Hopkins

So it's this Saturday. DeLaHoya is a huge underdog for once in his career. Hopkins hasn't lost in something like 11 years, and that was to a Roy Jones Jr who was in his prime, knocking out people left and right.

Hopkins is bigger, stronger, more experienced, and a slicker boxer. Oscar is more......well, nothing, actually. More popular, and that's about it. I still believe he has a good chance to win, though. Hopkins Knocked out Trinidad because of Trinidad's straight-forward style of fighting. I don't think Oscar fights that way, and I think he'll be a lot tougher of a challenge for Hopkins than was Tito.

The question is endurance. Hopkins has it. Will DeLaHoya? He surely didn't in his last fight against Sturm (a fighter I think doesn't get enough credit for his win over Oscar...he looked like a damn good fighter to me).
