DLH's resume and career

[tino]

I hear some people on here who like to hate on DLH. Tino likes to say he was "protected early in his career" and some others say he has avoided fights in the past few years.

Im asking all of you haters to come out and me who he was protected from and who he has avoided?

135
Ruelas
Hernandez
Leija
Molina

140
Gonzales
Chavez

147
Whitiker
Quartey
Trinidad
Mosley

154
Vargas
Mosley

160
Bernard Hopkins

Now lets look at this.

Bernard Hopkins, Felix Trinidad, Ike Quartey, Shane Mosley, Pernell Whitiker were ALL rated among the top ten p4p in the sport at that time.

Gonzlaes was undeafeated and had made 10 defenses of his WBC Lightweight going into that fight.

Hernandez was undeafeated and had made 8 defenses of his WBA title going into his fight with DLH

Rafeal Ruelas was 43-1 and was the IBF champion going into this fight.

Tino likes to say he was protected early in his career, but by the time he had 20 pro fights DLH had already fought Jon Jon Molina, Rafeal Ruelas and Genaro Hernandez.

Some try and say he has avoided fights in the past few years, but when you ask them to name the fighters he's avoided they comeback with nothing.

Lets look at a few of these guys he "avoided"

Wink Wright- Up until Shane Mosley he had done NOTHING to even deserve a fight with DLH. Wright had a reputation for doing just enought to lose. Wright had lost all 3 times he had stepped up in competion before Mosley. Losses to Harry Simon, Julio Cesar Vasquez and Fernando Vargas.

Antonio Mrgarito- People who claim DLH ducked him are just making themselves look flat out foolish. Margarito didn't even come onto the scene until he beat Andrew Lewis in 2003, but by 2003 DLH was already fighting at 154. Hell DLH had moved up to 154 in 2001. So please explain to me how DLH ducked him?

Ricardo Mayorga- Again didn't even come onto the scene until he beat Vernon Forrest in 2003, DLH was already up at 154, Mayorga was quckly exposed by Spinks in his next fight.

So please haters come on and try and tell what is wrong with his resume.

yo , jose , i said i had mad respect for DLH for all his accomplishements , too.

yeah his 135 and 140 bodycount his impressive , but remember that he was allowed to weigh in 2 DAYS before the fight at 130 , where he fought hernandez and ruelas , not 135. he skipped tzyu and grigorian.

i like DLH a lot , im no hater at all. he is a great fighter , and a gave me good and sometime great boxing thrill.

oscar beat mosley twice and trinidad
but i'd have to say he lost to sturm even though i love oscar more then anyone
i have to say he only lost is 2 last fights


Jose dont forget he fought Arturo Gatti another great fighter

lol Gatti had no chance. Mismatch from the beginning. He was expected to kill the smaller, less technically sound Gatti.

No he did not skip Tszyu. Tszyu and DLH had a fight lined up and Tszyu lost to Phillips.

Im sorry did you just try and say DLH avoided Grigorian?

[tino]

No he did not skip Tszyu. Tszyu and DLH had a fight lined up and Tszyu lost to Phillips.

Im sorry did you just try and say DLH avoided Grigorian?

my bad youre right with tzyu .

DLH skipped grigorian , who was an undefeated lightweight at the time .

after the fight with charpentier , he said that he was "ready to take on anybody NOW[U]"

makes me think he skipped MORRAD HAKKAR @ 160.

Jose dont forget he fought Arturo Gatti another great fighter

I agree Oscar is a great fighter I have always said it but ThaGreatest I wouldn't call Arturo Gatti a great fighter. An exciting fighter, yes but not a great fighter. You all know my feeling on the Trinidad fight. Even though I thought Oscar won a close fight I feel he gave the fight away in the judges eyes by running away when he thought he had the fight won. As far as the the rematch with Mosley it was close and I can see how a person could of had Mosley winning. From what I have read and heard the media was split on that decision and there were more than a few people in attendence who thought Mosley won and cheered the decision.
