    Both are good technically..stance, variety of punches with power...Typical Pinoy fighter...solid fundamentals ala Gerry.

    PAc is actually an anomaly..I dont know where the **** his style came from

    Rey leaves himself a bit too open, so does banal but ..it may just be me but I find Banal (just by looking at him and watching him get hit) sturdier. AJs also more accurate...and has that killer instinct
    I was rewacthing the Deleon/Bautista fight and Boom2 was swinging at air quite alot

    DLH is still fighting, but who does he keep fighting on ppv? DLH is old, and he's not as relevant as Floyd is right now. The only thing he's been in the headlines for lately is losing to Floyd and cross dressing. Floyd is a prime, elite fighter with mainstream appeal. No other fighter can make that claim.

    No one. It took a wait until the late nineties to fill in the void that the big four left in the seventies-eighties.

    Boxing will continue but noone will be able to fill DLH's shoes!

    For better or worse DLH was one of those special boxers that comes along only once in a while. A fighter with crossover appeal who can actually box!

    DLH was that overall superstar, the man got the looks and the skills. Its like your hollywood actor, brad pitt for example plus elite level boxing skills and power

    No one that you mention will be able to carry the torch, The only reason oscar is a draw is because of his Female audience.
    The true Boxing mega star draw in the last 20 year is Tyson , Felix and Oscar, Oscar a far third place.

    At this point I don't any fighter to date able to do what Tyson and Felix have done for the sport.

    What are you going on about. Tito was hardly known outside the boxing public till DLH fought him.

    Even without his female audience, DLH had a bigger fanbase than Trinidad!

    Never thought Pac was included in this topic upon reading the title. Should have known better as it was created by Pacdbest :)

    Who does he keep fighting on PPV you ask? Well looks to be Floyd for the last two, counting the upcoming fight. But what you said doesn't matter in terms of who's the main money man in boxing, or the biggest draw or has the most fan appea. It's still DLH plain and simple. Floyd jumping to a rematch shou;ld tell you that. But I'll to tell you this, Floyd doesn't seem to be relevent right now either. Not in his division. And probably not for another year. It doesn't matter if DLH lost his last couple fight, he's still a bigger draw then Floyd will ever be.
