Oscar was weight drained and destroyed on the scales he have every reason to look beaten and out of it, obviously you dont understand the facts of the weight or how it totally ruined ODH, at this level if youre off a millisecond you lose, Oscar was off a minute.
Do you understand that Oscar was 16 lbs heavier on fight night against Floyd than he was against Manny, how do you think thats going to transpire in the two matches.
You are correct...I was unaware of the weight specifics of the fight. DLH looked a little bigger than both Pac and FMJ on those two nights. He looked pretty buff while Pac and FMJ looked a little more cut and lean
You would have to say so, no active fighter outside of Pacquiao has a resume like ODLH, he was a bad, bad man in his prime.
People saying Crawford would beat him...based on what? Beating Dierry Jean and Engis? Gtfo man, you have to prove greatness, it doesn't get handed to you on a plate. Until somebody proves otherwise and accomplishes as much as ODLH did, they shouldn't be put in the same sentence.
ODLH was a beast in his prime but it's a futile exercise trying to compare fighters from different generations. It's a fun thought experiment but the best and most well thought out arguments are just opinions at best. My opinion on this hypothetical scenario is that yes, ODLH does dominate today's fighters in that weight range.
On a different DLH note he fought well against FMJ in the first half. In fact, I might go so far as to award my judgement towards DLH for the first half. FMJ made his adjustments and won the fight obviously. Pac beat the crap out DLH though! Had him looking slow and old! DLH wore a defeated look in the latter rounds, he knew there was nothing he could do to come back for the win

I think he would. Crawford would be a fun fight.
that would be his most disfficult fight, but the golden boy was a fantastic boxer and could pull it off
what has crawford done to make people believe he beats dlh? really, i know he is unbearable as a promoter but dlh the fighter was a badass in his prime. he KOs crawford people, come on!
I can't argue that.......

Any of the top 10 154 lb beats him. Oscar was only a good fighter at 154. Castilejo, shot Campas, shot Vargas aren't exactly 'great' wins. He was very good at 147. He beats those guys. 140-He would have trouble with Taylor and Prograis, but think he would edge them. Oscar was never seriously challenged at 135--giving Genaro his first loss. 135 is too big for Loma to be at his best, so Oscar takes him.
I think he'd be run close enough times that he'd probably pick up an L in there. He really wasn't that far ahead of his contemporaries and there were guys had his number at both 147 and 154. I think many folk suffer from boxings eternal rose tinted nostalgia and the dudes at 135 - 154 today are on much the same level as they were 20 years ago.
