    Oscar Delahoya has been competitive in - but lost - all of his top fights. Oscar's BEST win was Ike Quartey. Oscar's record in big fights against his toughest comp is poor. He has five losses, and has failed to dominate an elite opponent. He has lost to MW's (hop & sturm) and he has lost to LW's (shane & pbf).

    Quartey - good win...some dispute it.
    Pernell - disputed win
    Shane 1 - clear loss
    Shane 2 - disputed/close loss
    Hopkins - knocked out
    Trinidad - disputed/close loss
    Mayweather - clear loss
    Sturm - disputed win

    Note: I only put in Sturm b/c that was his middleweight debut.

    Further, here are guys who WOULD beat Oscar: Winky Wright, Vernon Forrest, Kassim Ouma. And Cory Spinks would have a very good chance.
    I know you're hating on DLH but he is not overrated no matter how many arguments you try to make. By the same logic Shane, Tito and Pernell are also overrated and they haven't even fought the level of opposition that DLH has fought. You are wrong I am right!

              He beat JCC when he was 96-1. At the time I would have considered JCC an elite fighter. I know because I was going for JCC because I didnt like DLH back then.

                  Chavez was kind of past his prime at that point. He didnt have an easy career, he always went right at people.

                    In 96? I know he wasnt at his best, but he was still pretty good. At least I thought he was.
