First off, I just wanna say that I am not a fan of DLH, if you can't tell already by my sig.
However, I was considering who DLH could beat in the welters right now, and one thing I have to admit he would probably give every top ranked welter a really tough time.
If Hopkins is still in some crazy people's P4P rankings, then shouldn't DLH be considered too? Even though Bhop is old, a lot of people consider him to be an acid test for anybody in his weight range and he did come off of a split decision against Calzaghe. So by that logic shouldn't a guy that went to a split decision against PBF who was undisputed at #1 P4P when he fought him deserve at least an honorable mention? I'm not saying he SHOULD be on the top 10 P4P, but at least he should get as much of a mention as Bhop does.
DLH ain't done shit to get a p4p spot. For beatin Pac in December he'll be in there even tho he shouldn't get anything but scorn for even fightin Pac. And as stated above, he owns the ****in Ring mag and don't need his own people tellin him how great he is. Schaefer's probably got that locked down.
DLH hasn't had a meaningful win in a long time, Hopkins has beaten much better opposition in the past 3 years and DLH-Mayweather shouldn't have been a SD.
What a ridiculous thread.
Although I am not a fan of BHop being ranked in the top 10 p4p right now, he has about 1,000 times the justification Oscar does. When was Oscar's last win over an elite guy? Vargas maybe? Like 6 years ago?
Oscar "Money" De La Hoya owns the ring magazine. He doesn't need to be ranked when that mofo owns the mag that does the rankings. Simply put Oscar is too sick wit it.
