    And the above three posters will emerge from their cryogenically frozen state to argue about DLH when 2207 rolls around.

    Against Felix Trinidad. Done.
    And Oscar had an outstanding jab, what are you on about?

    I'm just wondering lol, I just didn't pay attention lol, that's why I wanted to be educated. I ve heard his jab was great, but I know this vs Trinidad now. No qualms.

    In the first Mosley fight sugar was complaining about his back from a Oscar jab. In the Hopkins fight it didn't matter what his jab did, Hopkins was prone to beat the Oscars and the Tito's of the world. His jab I never really got into because I was quick to admire the jab of a Lennox Lewis or a Larry Holmes. A piston, a guaging device for distance, a padded meter stick. Then later on I remember hasim Rahman throwing the jab no matter from what distance, close far, inside, outside. Sorry for not giving props to the Oscar jab.

    Lol oops sorry - I was a bit overly defensive wasn’t I, my apologies. The first 7-8 rounds vs Trinidad was one of the best displays of pure boxing I’ve seen in real time (I was a massive Oscar hater as a teenager too).

    DLH was great but overrated.

    Mayweather was an ATG but he wasn’t the best ever. But he was an amazing talent. It’s just a shame he’s such a f-wit who was a bore to watch.

    Tim Tszyu would kill DLH and I am sad we never got to see Mayweather vs Kostya…that would have been a belter of a contest.

    Beat Chavez ATG light weight
    Beat Whitaker ATG light weight
    Beat Trinidad ATG welterweight
    Beat Quartey (close) very good welter
    Beat Vargas very good super welter
    Loss Mosley GREAT light weight
    Loss Sturm (close) very good middle
    Loss Mayweather (close) ATG welter
    Loss Pac ATG welter
    Loss Hopkins ATG middle actually light heavy

    not too bad I suppose for a guy who starts at super featherweight. Almost all are top 3 p4p when he faced them

    Fernando Vargas? Nah. Another overrated thug. Just like his role in the movie Alpha Dog ( great flick btw ) he was the nearly man. The good, but not the star of the show.

    Beating Vargas is nothing special.

    At this point.... Oscar De La Hoya is profoundly underrated.

    Oscar has one of the best resumes in the last 30-40 years and I think he's an absolute weirdo
