    lol, crush? are you serious? You're in a public forum.


    I could care less if he was the body much less the face.

    He has done no better than what Arum or King have done.

    So if not for Oscar, who knows how boxing would have faired without a 'Tyson' to carry the sport on his shoulders.

        I was never a true DLH fan, but i rooted for him when he fought Mayweather....i knew he was gonna win against Forbes.

        All his Elite fights were dope. (Mosely, Tito, Hopkins, Pacquiao, Vargas, Mayorga, Chavez)

        He's a nice guy.

        He loves boxing.

        He's helping improve boxing.

        He's a smart businessman.

        But i just wouldn't put him on my list.

          There is always somebody.

          People have been saying boxing is dying for decades now. Its nothing new.

          New stars always emerge.

          DLH, Tyson, Leonard, Ali, Robinson, Louis, etc etc.

            ^ I see what you're saying, but Oscar was that somebody, at least for our generation.

            Thats all I'm saying.

            I'm not even a huge Oscar fan, but I do respect and admire what he's done in his time in the sport.

              @Makaveli..


              Do people really hate it when a fighter 'quits on his stool' ?

              I mean, I understand the whole warrior concept and fighting until the death, but this is unrealistic, and barbaric.

              And actually, it was his corner's decision to have the fight stopped, which was done rightfully so, as it is their responsibility, above anyone elses, including the ref, to stop the fight if at any time their fighter's health is in danger.

              This was clearly a case where their fighter was in danger, and had absolutely no chance of winning. So they made the right choice, IMO.


              The aftermath of brutal beatings is so severe, there is no sense in risking it.
              I lost my fair share of real money too.

                  I thought DLH was throwing the fight, and it made me very angry to think he would throw a fight, But then i soon realised it was much worse he wanted to quit thats why he was'nt throwing back, but he just did not want to tell anyone that he wanted to quit.

                  when they asked him in the corner if he was okay, he was not responding because he did not want to say "yeah i quit" so the officials effectively took matters into their own hands and call it off, to DLH relief.

                    I understand this, but I was more questioning why people were talking about him like he was insignificant to the sport they love so much.

                      Thats just the way that some people are , when you're on top they stick to you like leaches once you hit the bottom nobody knows you ... I'm not a DLH fan but gotta keep it real he was one of the greatest fighters in the world.Give respect where its do ,and to all you pozers man up and be real because many times you cheered him on so show you're respect.
