got a question 4 people bashing dlh

Yeah I know it wont happen. I doubt he will come back. I think it is his last fight. Oh well, let him retire like that then.

 

how manny times has DLH said that his next fight will be his last?

 

IDK but he is old know and he should retire anyways.

 

Im not bashing Hoya at all. But the difference is that DLH at least fought at those weights,won titles and fought good comp. Pac hasnt even fought good comp at 35 yet and most dont believe he can beat some fighter there.

 

For the second time I'll be rooting against delahoys in this one, but i'll still pay just like everyone else.

 

How will this fight exciting? A guy who should be fighting at 130 vs a 154 pound fighter? If you like to see one guy get his brains bashed in then I guess you can call that exciting but I don't especailly when it's trhe P4P #1 fighter on the planent fighting at a weight he has no business at. It's bad for boxing real bad.

 

wasted thread, Honestly DLH started fighting 29 pounds north of where Pacquiao started fighting. Yes DLH moved up to 160 but he didnt weigh that when he fought Hopkins I beleive he weighed in at 154 so he really didnt move up he just fought the Middleweight champ.
still moving up from 135 to 160 is only 20 pounds for DLH
Moving up from 106 all the way to 147 you do the math thats twice as much weight 40 pounds difference.

 

Never said the Pacquiao fight will be good or fair. I think he should fight Margarito and it will do crazy PPV numbers since the big latin boxing community.

 

Any credit for moving up in weight was lost when he was handed a win over Felix Sturm, showing that just being Oscar De La Hoya is good enough for five rounds in the bank.

The fact that his retirement fight is a bully fight against 130 lb Manny Pac is pretty disappointing to say the least.

 

I really don't understand how on earth this keeps coming up. DLH's climb up through the weight classes is HIGHLY over rated, considering that even at 154 he was still fighting SMALLER men. Why is it that so many people don't seem to see that?

Guys like PBF and SRL are guys that truly took the challenge of moving up through the divisions.

 

I hate biased postsatsch

 

There's alot of truth to what he says. Oscar should be bashed for the work he did at 130 and 135 making guys move up and **** he had no business there period. He didn't really start fighting guys close to his size until he fought at 147 and he lost to Tito and Mosley there.

 

Yeah go out with a bang fighting a midget.



Fighters will always get credit for going up in weight and fighting naturally heavier guys . . . but not going down in weight and fight much smaller guys in a catch weight.

For DLH . . . fighting as high as 160 then fighting a 135 pounder at 147 makes it worst. It should be more acceptable if the physical desparity is not that much. :deal

 

THere is some of truth to all biased posts.

The problem is biased posters only point out the negative.

Yes DLH fought some smaller men, but nowhere does he mention, Trinidad, Quartey, Hopkins, Vargas, Sturm, etc


PBF also fought a lot of smaller guys early in his career but somehow that seems to escape him(and others like him):deal
