EVEN AT 35 & NO LONGER IN HIS PRIME HE WENT 12 WITH THE P4P KING. SO YOU MUST BE SMOKING IF YOU THINK HE'S NOT A FORCE.
If you're going to bring up crap from the past, Dlh was coming off a hand injury which had bothered him throughout the Oba Carr fight. It had bothered him so much he had to abandon the jab and just look for a knock out. Not making excuses but there are two sides to every story, best to just judge fights by the fights themselves. All those people who had Quartey winning the fight have selective memory and didn't watch the first four rounds nor the last two, especially the final round. These idiots are probably just watching highlights on YouTube. Throwing Quartey around like a rag doll in round 12 and anyone thinking he won is ******ed. What does "elite" mean, really? There can only be one or two ATG's per generation for each division. But if we are talking champs and belts, DLH only fought the best and did not become six time world champion for nothing. Six time world champion ****ers!
When Oscar beat him Vargas was in the top 10 P4P rankings Trinidad was in the top 10 P4P rankings Chavez was in the top 10 P4P rankings Ike Quartey Ricard Mayorga Pernell Whitaker Rafael Ruelas John John Molina Miguel Angel Gonzalez Jesse James Leija ALL THESE GUYS WERE ELITE.
4th DLH was literally killing him to make 130 in those two title fights and supposely the weights were skewed for him. He's proven as his body settled into what it is that he's a natural WW/Jr MW
Eh. Ive read before he never legitly made 130. Also, Oscar grew into his frame is a natural WW/Jr MW, while Floyd is a natural LWW.
Floyd is smaller than Oscar it is not surprising that Mayweather could not knock him out. Oscar didn't beat Trinidad either so I don't know why people are bringing him up in this discussion.
