    Right on man. I think this about sums it up.

    Is he still a dangerous fighter? Sure, but his thoughts aren't on fighting anymore, they are about promoting. Fine, nothing wrong with that.
    But don't fool the public about it and say your still in it for your legacy.

    If you were you'd look to cement it with good quality wins instead of trying to dance with Mayweather again simply because it puts up the most bread.

          and that's the truth. did u see the punch that opened the cut. it was a weak jab that opened the cut that was already there! Plus chavez was already passed his prime anyway!

            No... he is being a douchebag by cutting in line with his god damn chequebook.

            **** him, and I'll **** his wife.

              I like DLH. At a time when boxing has such a low profile and most people haven't even heard of Mayweather and Wlad, everybody and their grandmother knows who Oscar is. He gives a recognizable face to the sport of boxing.

              He's not a cross dresser, his accuser admitted it was a hoax. He's been a great financial success and an inspiration to many Hispanic people. As a promoter, he's much better for the sport than the old crooks like Don King. Oscar has always been willing to fight anybody, and has given us some great fights over the years.

              I have a lot of respect for this man, he's a living legend.

                    DLH was once great, now he is just ****ing up with the sport for money. That I totally dislike.

                      He could have been a much better fighter if he had that killer instinct but I never saw the real agressive side of him.
                      He has speed, power, and great ring generalship but in my opinion he lacks the heart and the agressiveness.
