    5 year span moving up and taking on the likes of Quartey, Trinidad, Vargas, Mosley x2, and Hopkins.

    Oscar was old school as hell.

    Prime Shane on the juice. Oba Carr would be a welterweight champ today too.

    Appreciated even more nowadays when the fights that make the most sense somehow never come off.

    massive respect for it from me. Especially considering he was the goldenboy he could have hid behind that

    The stand out fight anyone guys of the last 20 years for me are:

    Oscar, Holyfield, Toney, Hopkins, Mosley

    Complete Warriors

    So according to you he lost 3 times before Mayweather fought him and laugh because it was a true cherry pick for Pacquiao because he had lost a split decision to Mayweather. Brilliant logic. Damn this board is stupid and can't appreciate truly great fighters.

    Old school behavior, moving up to welterweight and taking on Whitaker as first opponent. As time goes on DLH looks better, that's for sure.

    not really a knock against him, considering the stacked divisions of the time, Trinidad from then on being one weight class above DLH, Quartey losing some stock so that there were bigger fighters more relevant very quickly after.

    This **** wasn't even supposed to be about Mayweather or Pacquiao. It is appreciation for ODH and the first thing ***gots like you do is come in and say who he lost too. Get the **** out of here with that weak as ****.
