Will people give him a bit more respect after the beating h took from PAC? He lasted longer than Hatton?
and david diaz lasted longer than that so there we have our four gone conclusion david diaz is better than de la hoya and hatton
Nah. The only thing he showed in this fight was his chin and his chin was always phenomenal, nobody questioned that.
Exactly. Just because a fighter lasted longer does not mean he is better than another fighter. The style of fight matters. Also if a fighter comes to fight more he will leave himself more open and get countered and the fight will end quicker probably. Example is Hagler/Hearns and Hagler/Duran and Hearns/Duran. Hagler went 15 with Duran in a boring fight. Both were tentative. Then Hearns knocks out Duran in an outclassing. Then Hagler stops Hearns in a war. Hagler knew he could not fight Hearns the way he fought Duran or Tommy would knock him out and pick him apart on the outside.
