Would you then say that DLH was a monster H2H, or do you simply favor him over Floyd because of the clash of styles? :think
DLH wasn't a H2H monster; he is very good H2H, but I wouldn't call him a monster. He'd have serious trouble with guys who were bigger than him and faster (Hearns, SRL, SRR come to mind) and at 154 he'd be in bad shape against a guy like McCallum. Benitez would also give him fits, as would Duran. He did tend to shine against smaller opponents, however, and stylistically the prime DLH is a bad matchup for Mayweather with his extensive lateral movement, jab, and tall, long frame. DLH had sick handspeed and power back in his prime- he was easily able to put together fast, hard 3-5 punch combinations off the jab. Overall, I'd favor Mayweather over DLH from 130-140, as Mayweather was much more polished at those weights than Oscar was, but at 147 or 154 I think Oscar takes him, both because of styles and because by that point in time Oscar himself was a more polished, skilled, advanced fighter, and his size advantage would be more pronounced as well at those weights.
Pryor disfigures Pac and KOs him late Chavez-Taylor stoppage was Ok Tyson is overrated Castillo beat Floyd in the first fight Frazier beats Wlad
Chavez top five ATG Mayweather lost to DLH and Castillo Mayweather beats Pacquiao Andre Ward top five p4p, will be the top 1 in a few years Boxing should become unionized, guaranteed health care, and handled tourney style so champions can't duck each other. Media hyping up us some garbage and creating fanboys which dilutes fanaticism for boxing as a whole and lower quality of boxing. Out of the ring antics are not good for boxing in the long run.
Prime Holmes H2H beats any prime heavyweight JCC is overrated Steward is overrated as a trainer-just fortunate to be from a talent rich area Ray Leonard wasn't abused; he enjoyed having his trainer blow him Lewis never truly avenged his loss to McCall MMA is actually more legit than today's boxing scene
Jim Jeffries was the greatest heavyweight of the pre-WWI era 1988-1993 was the strongest period in Middleweight history Carnera's win over Sharkey was on the level, and da Preem was a lot better fighter than he is given credit for Henry Armstrong's achievements are over-rated Prime Collins beats Prime Benn and Eubank Monzon was the greatest Middleweight ever Frank Bruno had an above average chin Norton won all 3 fights with Ali Ali would have beaten Foreman regardless of where the fight was held
