    hmm says... I picked millions...for every dollar DLH makes, he won't compare.... and no i'm not overhyping from his recent fight.. Penasola just refused to go down, kept holding his ground, or wanted to exchange.

    watch his fight against quartey and vargas. then come back and tell me he does not have heart.

    im not into this 'penalosa has a bigger heart than dlh' thing. he might have a bigger heart or whatever, but it does not mean dlh doesnt have enough of it

    Do you see Penolosa taking on DLH's level of competiton through the years? Do you see him jumping 6 weight divisions and winning belts in everyone (admittedly not at 160 though)?

    I'm not saying Penolosa doesn't have heart, that would be a ridiculous comment. But to dismiss DLH when this guy has taken on the biggest challenges for 15 years or whatever, from 130lbs to 160lbs, is an even more ridiculous statement.

    did you see penalosa quit on his stool and ride his bicycle in the latter rounds of a big fight...

    compare dela hoya's loss to hopkins and penalosa's stand to lopez...

    Why make a thread that will possibly pull down a certain fighter, just to push up your favorite fighter?

    dela hoya may have the smaller heart but it doesnt mean that penalosa is a better fighter. dela hoya more makes up for having smaller heart by having strong resume, superb boxing skills and historical significance of his fight.

    You mean Penolosa's loss to a prospect one weight above his own, and De La Hoya's loss to Hopkins 2 weights above his own, given that Hopkins is/was also an ATG fighter, which JuanMa currently is not, and a huge middle that went on to move up to 175, and also given that DLH started at 130.

    I have hardly seen Penalosa in a big fight, at least Oscar got there. That takes heart alone to get in that position. I'm not saying Penalosa doesn't have any heart, I'm saying don't right Oscar's off.

    You know absolutely nothing Asero so I don't even know why I bother argueing with you, you're only bringing this up because it was Penalosa against JuanMa who you had as your P4P #11 going into this fight. I bet you have him probably top 8 or 9 now.

    why would i put lopez in the 8th or 9th way in the first place i know that lopez would dominate penalosa even before the fight. his stock doesnt rise, he just perform what i expected him to perform.

    now if izzy and rafa doesnt live up to my expectation, despite winning their next fight, i would move him out of my top 10..

    i didn't say that dela hoya as no heart. he has and being an elite fighter requires heart but penalosa is in a different league

    when i say that i have a million times bigger brain than you, thus it mean that you have no brain?

    it just means the two are not in the same level..

    No it doesn't mean that, because you clearly don't having JuanMa your P4P #11, and criticising the heart of a great fighter. Yes Penalosa has more heart, happy now? But don't criticize an ATG fighter who's better than him to make your point. You had no reason to include Oscar in this debate.
