I know some call DLH an ATG which IMO is nuts so instead of running my mouth like countless others do here and never back my words up I will provide what I consider evidence of the hype job DLH.
Let's examine his biggest wins: Whitaker, Vargas, JCC, Quartey, Gatti. Whitaker- was past his best and many felt the hype job DLH was given a gift. Vargas- was ruined by Tito and continues to lose to the top fighters even Mayorga. JCC- way past his best and shop worn from almost 100 fights. Quartey- good puncher but widely considered a notch below the divisions best. Gatti- good entertainer but lost to every major opponent he fought.
Let's look at other DLH fought: Tito, Hopkins, Mosley, Mayweather. Tito- losing the fight but chased the hype job out of the building to get the win. Hopkins- older in years but still too good and stopped DLH. Mosley- better handspeed and too determined for him TWICE. Mayweather- complete mismatch once Floyd decided to start fighting (don't believe the scorecards).
So gentlemen there you have it. The ATG *cough* DLH has basically done a great job of beating smaller men or men past their prime, but failed everytime he fought someone that posed a serious threat.
His next fight is against....surprise surprise....a smaller man in Pacquiao. Should DLH win he will probably proclaim it as his greatest victory and neglect to mention he beat a guy that should be fighting at least 3 divisions lower.
One day DLH will probably be in the HOF and I'm sure his fans will shower him with praise forgetting that DLH in hindsight never really lived up to his promise. DLH, what have you done lately?
