    In hindsight, yes he is.

    But, in 2001........he was taking a huge risk in facing Corrales. Corrales was a ****ing wrecking ball then, walking through everyone's punches & lighting them up with huge shots.
    Of course, we discovered later on that Corrales' all around game was lacking.....while we know Oscar can do it all.

      well DHL is just a name. most of the hard work is done during training so I think he is same as other guys he fought but he is more challenging due to wieght difference.

        Floyd is going to handle Oscar rather easily. It will be a "routine" performance. Guess what ? He's gonna be criticized for it !

          I voted no!
          ITs been addressed timme and time again but every time DLH stepped up for a super fight he lost or deserved to lose.

          Sweet Pea 8-4
          Quartey 7-4 + 1 pont for KD12
          Mosely 1: 8-4
          Mosely 2- 6-5-1
          He beat Tito IMO
          Hopkins: Come On
          Sturm 7-4
          If you think Vargas or Mayorga were step ups I cant help you!

          Zab Judah should have only 1 loss on his record. Kostya Tszyu

          but I will go with JLC

                DLH is the best in the sense he has the best resume and on paper has acheived more than any of PBFs former opponents. But whether DLH is as good as some of PBFs opponents on form wise is doubtful.

                    For sure Oscar is his toughest opponent. Oscar can box, is pretty fast himself and has power. You could say Judah had those skills, but he lacks focus for 12 rounds. Oscar will be focused for 12 rounds no matter what. You can even make an arguement that Floyd is the toughest opponent Oscar has faced. I am not going to say he is for sure, but you could make the case.

                      Honestly I think so. Its hard to tell until fight night. Only Judah and Castillo gave him trouble.
