Not DLH???? He was 21-0 and was the underdog against Chavez. A victory a ton of people discredit.

I was actually going to make a thread about that not really being a legit win for DLH.....you know being like 20lbs heavier than JC's shadow in their 2nd fight.

You know you are going to get attacked left and right because you are one of the few De La Hoya fans on this forum. But I respect people who take a minority position. I always liked Chavez, but the guy always had trouble with pure boxers. With as bad as De La Hoya beat him, it makes me think it may have happened any time they fought. De La Hoya is still a white collar softie though.

Well who would you bet on the 91-1 proven fighter or this up and comer who had not been in with too many tough opponents other than Molina maybe? Still DLH shouldn't have taken the fight.

Let them attack....as soon as I shut them up, they will bring up the fishnet pics. They always do that when in a corner.

Oscar is a genius. Look at what he did with his money. He didn't go broke like other dumbasses. He doesn't have to make his kids fight to support him.

Well if DLH was the underdog then he should get credit right??

Other than Molina?? lol

Hernandez, Paez, and Ruelas. Don't forget.

That was just perception though, it wasn't established how good DLH was for certain. Still a ? on him, and JC wasn't what he once was.....in hindsight, you agree knowing what you know now that DLH being the underdog against the older, smaller, past his prime JC is laughable right?

Chavez was already cut going into the fight....or so I heard.
