Nice, Marc. Could you make a gif of DLH's flurry at the end of the 10th round as well? That was another 10 punch flurry hitting nothing but air. You really get a good view of it when you look at the DLH-Whitaker interview a week after the fight, which shows an alternative angle from the one screened during the fight. Take a look from the second minute in. [yt]atONMjfkxso[/yt]
"Oscar would've been schooled at 135." We disagree and neither one of us can prove the other one wrong! "Oscar would've been schooled at 135. Too green against a prime Pea" When DLH was fighting at 135, Pea was fighting two divisions higher. When Pea was fighting at 135, DLH still a novice. SO that comment was pretty pointless.:deal Unless you meant H2H on a pfp sense!:huh "...does not bode well for someone who arguably lost to a past prime Pea during his own prime." DLH was not in his prime when he fought PEA. I guess you're 0 for 3, was that as fun as you thought it was going to be
I think the 10th rd's included in that gif s_s.. i dunno what round the 2nd flurry was as I got the clip from a Pea highlight, but there's 2 missed flurries in it!
Pea gets horribly overated by a few on ESB. They actually think hes # 1 h2h of all time LMAO. dont let there clouded judgement fool you. O btw missed on that GIF is the part where whitaker clowns and lands NOTHING in return. in that exchange oscar threw 10 punches, missed 9, landed ONE. but guess what? that one is better than whitakers zero and tongue sticking out. so oscar wins that exchange! I happen to think whitaker turned the clocks back, put one of his better performances that night, but even then a oscar in his first fight at the weight cleanly beat him. Prime for Prime whitaker wins, but it would be very close. NO ONE ever schooled oscar de la hoya.
Agreed, its pathetic. Oscar De La Hoya brought life into boxing this decade with some of the biggest fights, and he literally FOUGHT EVERYBODY.....and what do fans on this site do? dog on him all day long. Whitaker brought nothing but running track meets, and a whole bunch of yay into boxing.....He is also an arrogant *****
I had it 114-112 oscar de la hoya. oscar landed the harder punches, outlanded him 2 to 1 in power punches, and whitaker did too much clowning after making oscar miss and not enough countering to win the fight.
I meant in a hypothetical matchup between the two at LW. I thought that was pretty obvious. DLH was at the very PEAK of his abilities. He was at his best at 149 in terms of overall effectiveness IMO, though just as skilled at 147. Toward the latter part of his 147 run he started to have stamina issues, so I wouldn't consider any of those versions to be prime. Therefore, it's pretty reasonable to conclude that Oscar was indeed, in his prime. You're much more immature than I remember, especially considering you have absolutely NOTHING to back up your points, which were very weak and generally useless to begin with. I'd end it here if I were you.
You mean my post was even more useless than the one you started this off with. You think too much of your boxing "knowledge":deal
