Some of you say DLH is shot....

he's gotta be shot too......right?:scaredas:

 

truth is DLH is not shot nor is Mosley...people saying PBF was shot are just hating on PBF

 

Oscar definitely isn't shot. Of course, he isn't the fighter that he was 10 years ago, when he was pd4pd #1 by Ring mag... but of course that can't be expected.

Oscar's problem is inactivity, shoulder injuries, and the fact that he focuses much more on promotion, than he does on fighting. Those are just the facts.

Of course, Oscar came into the fight against Mayweather in great shape. But you can't be a part time boxer at Oscar's age, and expect to always just enter the ring in prime form.

 

I told people before the fight that Oscar had a better chance to beat PBF than Hatton did and they thought I was crazy.:-(

 

De La Hoya is definitely not shot and to be honest, was probably a better fighter than Hatton that night.

 

So the Oscar fight has more weight?

 

It doesn't changed anything. DLH is still shot. :yep

Hatton? Styles makes fight . . . Hatton being KOed by PBF doesn't mean Hatton is shot too or worst.

Hatton's aggresiveness gave PBF all the chances to find the opening to deliver the killer punch . . . that's what happened there. DLH never comes in for an attack open and careless so PBF didn't find a chance to K.O. him.

See the difference. :hey

 

Looking at last nights fight i dont think Hatton would fair to badly, DLH hasnt got the speed of Mayweather so hatton may be able to get in easier without being tagged as much.

Still, im not as confident as i would have been two days ago

 

I think its in terms of the Oscar's style matching up better vs Floyd's...but I think you are pretty much spot on.

 

dlh's not shot, but in fairness to hatton, dlh unlike hatton had some physical advantages over pbf (namely size and probably strength) while hatton had no physical advantages and this might explain the difference in outcomes

 

Plus Oscar was clearly the bigger, stronger fighter. Not so much with Ricky.
