Why did DLH fight EVERYBODY?

He didn't fight everybody like you wrote. He fought everyone that would make him big money. When you truly look at the guys he faced and the guys he didn't you will see that he was the originator of the Mayweather fight big name blueprint.

He started fighting once a year in his later years and held on to that WBC belt without ever defending it against a mandatory either. ODLH did all the same **** these fanboys cry about Mayweather ,Pacquiao and Canelo are doing.:-(

 

Are you really trying to compare Oscar to Mayweather ? :rofl:rofl

GTFO Oscar was not the queen of cherry picking that Dubois distinction goes to Fraud !

comparing Floyd to Oscar when it comes to match making

 

Only people that really hate on him is the flow mos ..They can't stand the fact that Oscar gets more respect ..Lets remove Gatti's name from Oscar lists as that fight was a throw away fight for him and didn't mean anything like it did to Floyd and insert Pernell Whitaker ,Fernando Vargas and Julio Cesar Chavez ....Only people missing were Winky Wright who priced himself out and Vernon Forrest ..Which I don't know why Oscar did t fight him.

 

Yes because at the same points in their respective careers they only fought for money.
Oscar retired for a bit before he fought Vargas he waited for Trinidad to show him how first. Then after Hopkins fight when he was building GBP he only fought money fights. **** he fought Forbes at a 150 catchweight because he wanted to test out his body for that 147 drain for Pacquiao.

 

I would think he did it to try and cement his legacy, even if he didn't win every big fight he was in (and was gifted the win against Sturm). That he was getting paid truckloads of money to fight those guys is a byproduct of Oscar being a massive box office draw.

Several of those he fought are locks for Canastota: Jorge Paez, Julio Cesar Chavez, Pernell Whitaker, Felix Trinidad and Arturo Gatti are already hall of fame inductees.

 

Derrell Coley for a vacant belt after a loss???
Javier Castillejo???
Patrick Charpentier???

He fought these guys in between all those big names you mentioned. Floyd fought Berto and everybody freaked out.

 

The Manny fight was strictly a money fight don't kid yourself and so was the Mayweather bout. Nothing wrong with it but it is what it is.

 

I don't hate Oscar but you guys are acting like he was just whipping ass all over the place. He has the best resume in boxing, but not because he was super brave, it was because Arum was his ****ing boss.:tong

 

Let's not forget about cassameyor
Kostya
Margarito
Prime pac
Hatton at 140
Like you said Williams
Martinez
Then there's Bradley Thurman Kahn all better then the likes of berto Ortiz and 'the ghost'

A lot of the fights that didn't get made weren't floyds fault but if he truly wanted them like Oscar a lot of them would of been done

 

You have to be kidding like Vargas and Oscar had the same ring IQ ..Please stop ..He fought Forbes long past his best your really bringing up his later fights ?

And are you trying to knock Oscar for facing a Manny in his prime ? I don't understand where your coming from..:huh
