People just don't like DLH for a few reasons. I think the first is that DLH was never a blood and buts type of a fighter. He was never loved by the Mexican people the way JCC was or other Mexican greats.
Second, I also think that DLH never had a career defining fight. He has either won big or lost big. The losses he had vs Mosley were so close, they could have gone either way.
When you think of other great fighters, you always think of their great opponents. Like Sugar Ray Leonard, you think Hagler or Hearns. Ali, you think Frazier or Liston.
When you think of DLH, there's no one you really think about with him. Trinidad comes to mind but Trinidad never wanted to give him the re-match.
DLH is a great fighter and an all time great but people get hung up on these things I mentioned.
