    Let's spare a thought for DLH, in hindsight he performed quite well against PBF for an old timer.

    That he did. He still showed that he had a lot in the tank, more than any of really thought that he did.

    (I thought PBF won that fight 7-4-1, but DLH certainly got some business done against the best fighter in the world.)

    Kindly go f*ck yourself. :good

    The point of the thread wasn't to denigrate Mayweather's abilty. It was merely to state the fact that it illustrates that DLh wasn't as washed up as many of PBF's detractors would like to make him out to be, and that he's still a damned good fighter.

    Do you deny this to be the case...or, are simply "hating" on Floyd's opposition??? :D

    Yes he did - Oscar is always competitive no matter who he fights from 130-154.

    You're exactly right, as usual. DLH in hindsight does indeed look to have performed very well. Obviously he was well past his best but he still put up one helluva show vs a probable future legend close to his peak.
