P4P, DLH or Chavez?

[Exciterx30]

Everyone always mentions Chavez as one of the greatest fighters of all time and indeed he was. However, there were some things that, in my opinion, he lacked. He was not that fast, his Ko's were accumulation of punishment. Not actually a one punch destroyer. Also I think he was never unbeatable. Just that he had a big heart and iron will determination and this helped him to overcome tough opponents who could have beaten him.

On the other hand, DLH(in the early days and up to welter) had great footwork and his combinations were very fast. He also had a good left hook and a terrific jab. The con is that he probably was not half as brave as Chavez.

All in all. I say DLH would rank higher. My opinion.

I agree! More championship in different weight classes!

I dont know man. I like both guys, but power or not, Chavez would **** people up. I got into boxing because of him. I think the great part about him was his heart and his relentlessness that enabled him to break people down over a fight and take them out. I would have Chavez higher on an all time list than DLH.

DLH couldn't hold Chavez's jockstrap. Chavez was dominant fighting machine. DLH not so much.

Chavez was definitely the better p4p fighter of the 2 it isnt even up for debate.

I think a prime DLH gets a prime Chavez at 140. If you want to know the reasons why I believe this, check my first post.

Oh, how today's boxing fans just love those guys jumping from division to division, collecting a bunch of meaningless title belts.

In my opinion, neither of those two fighters are very high on a ranking of the greatest fighters of all-time.

I think you are penalizing Chavez for not being fast and not having one punch power. No fighter is unbeatable. I think if you rank either one above the other it should be on accomplishments not what they can do in the ring.

Would you care to give some details? Why is that? I ask for objective discussion.

I think in thier prime Chavez breaks Oscar down after losing about 3 or 4 rounds early. He would be too rough and tough for Oscar too handle a full 12 rounds.
