Why was/is DLH so popular

Don't be mad Freddy...He truly was a proud Mexican...

 

This **** was like a novel... I almost woke my girl up...

 

fixed.

 

Hey slip what part u fixin???He was beaten....Or u talking bout the struggle leadin to that???

 

Read his siggy.

He's probably a bitter Sweetpea fan!

 

Hard to argue with a Pea fan..But I will..

 

There were not many guys in the early 1990's who came into professional boxing with his kind of dominance.

 

Here's another reason. He was a Mexican fighter who had the bombs in the fist assault mentality of a Mexican fighter but had the movement and preference for range fighting and quick footwork more common with black american fighters. At least for me I'd like more combinations like that. I love Sanchez for the same reason though he was slicker than DLH. But just like Mosley has a lot of Mexican in his style, DLH had a lot of black.

In the sparring video with Chavez where DLH's a teenager, he being slick and has the upperhand, moving great, then he throws a beautiful fast combo to Chavez' body before moving away. You hear someone in the audience yell out something about him fighting like a "mayate". You could tell it gets to Oscar's head and then he goes toe to toe and gets knocked down.

 

He was hyped. He lived up to it. period.

- competent / elite fighter and have an exciting style
- good looks
- socially charismatic (communication skills decent, business minded)
- lives near hollywood, got best of both worlds root-wise: Mexico / US

 

Don't you dare put de la hoya and Salvador Sanchez in the same sentence, maan Sanchez was something else, on his say to perhaps top 3 of all time thats how highly i rate him.

 

As I said, he was slicker.
Therefore I rate him higher.
