Dlh Most Overrated Boxer In History Of The Sport

[Hydro]

How is he more skilled than Mosely and Mayweather and they both beat him, even with a size and power disadvantage? You make no sense. And Hopkins is a lot more crafty, not to mention that he knocked him out. LMAO at DLH's irrational ass fans..

Oscar probably is more technically skilled than Mosley. But his physical gifts, while good, aren't quite up to the level of Mosley. Mosley has faster hands and feet, is physically stronger, and has better stamina.

He's stronger than DLH? It wasn't like he was bullying DLH around the ring, you don't beat and bigger, stronger, more powerful fighter based on speed alone. What technical skill are you referring to? He had all the asetts in his favor, there was no reason he should of lost to Floyd of Mosely if he's better skilled? I know you omitted Mayweather, obviously for a reason, but I still see the Mosely claim as ludicrous.

No, Ike Ibeabuchi is the most overrated fighting in the history of boxing.

If you ask anyone they think he's the greatest heavyweight to have ever laced up a pair of gloves, yet he has two wins:

1. A knockout over a blown up middleweight

2. A questionable/controversial win over a prime slugger where all he did was plod forward and throw nonstop jabs while eating leather.

Come on come on come on...

You know nobody considers him a great heavyweight.

Run you can't disagree that Ibeabuchi looked ****ing spectacular against Byrd and Tua. He gets so much credit for those fights because of the method he used to win both fights. Ike stood man up with Tua, when he could have taken a bit of a safer route, and slugged with that monster. He boxed with Byrd, figured him out, and nearly decapitated him with that sick uppercut/hook hybrid thing. Wlad, Vitali, Tua, McCline...none of those big monsters were able to do that to Byrd...not even close.

You gotta say that Ike had a lot of promise because of the ability he showed in the ring, but you can't call him great because he didn't do enough.

Mosley is a pretty strong, tough guy himself. DLH's parrying defense is better than Mosley's defense, and he doesn't wing as many wide shots, leaving him open down the middle. I could not picture Oscar, even at this age, getting hit over and over with straight right hands by slow, shot Vargas as Mosley was in their first fight. De La Hoya is better on the backfoot and using lateral movement than Mosley. People often say Mosley has great boxing skills, but I think they're just fooled by the speed. Mosley has some good boxing skills, but he's at his best when trading at mid-range, with the "power-boxing", more of a speedy-slugger than a pure boxer.

Technical skills don't always win you fights. There's styles at play along with the physical gifts.

I think Oscar is cool so **** the haters.

Oscar TKO10 Hatton.

Like I said before, its like people forget he was a monster below 147 and beat down some good fighters.

DLH revolutionized boxing so appreciate that mother****er.

LOL , In what way did DLH revolutionized boxing?

Also, appreciate what?? you mean appreciate the hype his own fights generate and end up turning out to be duds(haha)

Listen, none of you will hear me say DLH sucks. Because he doesn't, I think the guy had tremendous talent and terrific learned skills to go with it. just like that ALI quote,[B]" Champions have to have last minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill & the will. but the WILL MUST BE stronger than the skill"

DLH always had the skills and talent, but he has clearly shown he doesn't have the will. I mean, I don't think it's the $$$, because he won against Mayorga, Vargas and Sturm when he was already a multi-millionaire. He simply doesn't have it when facing a division's elite.

DLH's most impressive wins came against guys we don't even know who they're anymore. but fighters like TITO, MOSLEY, B-HOP are gonna be etched in our memories forever!

Like who?? some guy named ruelas, some guy named miguel angel gonzalez. not exactly boxing's elite. We're talking high caliber athletes , not overrated cab drivers. DLH beat a highly skilled Genaro Hernandez and he's about the only notable win for DLH in my opinion at 140 and down

I didn't say elite, I said good. And to say they are overrated cab drivers is absurd. Hernandez, Molina, Gonzales, Ruelas, and even an old Chavez were good pro fighters, and he beat every single one in impressive fashion. That has to count for something.
