Q: You were known for your great chin, who hit it the hardest? A: Benn hit me pretty hard, Hearns, of course, and also Hilton. And believe it or not, Lenny LaPaglia, who was not known for a hard shot, he hit me real hard. Those fights and those losses aren't what bothered me the most though. For some reason, I was never given a fair judgement on the scorecards of judges. I got robbed a whole lot. Of my five draws, all of them were really wins. So my record isn't right, in that I won a lot more fights than it says officially. I had kind of a rough ride in my career, really. But, hey, Boxing's a tough sport.
He was given a fair career. I don't know what he is talking about. He was a solid contender and won the WBO title at middleweight I think against Hilton. What was so unfair?
Tommy couldn’t dent Doug. That was a very competitive fight. Tony Thornton was another banger. DeWitt fought all the hitters.
You can still argue a fluke when you consider Quinones wasn’t in DeWitt’s league or close and wasn’t considered any kind of puncher.
i thought Quinones and La Paglia were noted punchers, albeit at a lower level than Dewitt operated at
How the hell, DeWitt actually managed to keep going as long as he did, against Benn, I'll never know. Benn threw shots in there that Doug took full on, and that was back when Nige was at his scary middleweight best.
