    DLH had the better career. He kept his head screwed on, made money out of the game and changed the way it was played.

    Tyson got screwed after Cus passed on. Without Cus Tyson had some games but he had Don King up his ass, screwing his career.

      DLH had an amazing career and if anything he gets more hate and less respect than he truly deserves.

      You are obviously pissy because you're Puerto Rican, and Oscar dealt with a lot of hate simple because he was a very good looking guy who would knock you the **** out.

      Tyson's career was an amazing one with how he dealt with opposition, but DLH definitely fought bigger names.
      You're right that must be it.

        It apparently is. Who are your hero's? Let me guess, Miguel Cotto and Kermit Cintron?

        LMAO. One has never beat an A rated fighter convincingly and the other is always crying like a ***** boricua ***** doing swan dives into the crowd.

        News flash Kermit: your diving match was the next day.

          There's no shame in losing to Hopkins and he split with Mosley, I mean some of these decisions he got were bogus. He did lose to Sturm though.

          DLH wasa great fighter, HOFer who had incredible skill and was a beautiful boxer to watch.

          Mike Tyson was INCREDIBLY overrated, his opponents level was no where near where DLH were.

          DLH had the much better career, resume and it's not really that close.
          I guess I was a little harsh saying he lost ALL of his biggest fights. And he is definitely a HOF, but the reason I call him overrated is because I hear people calling him one of the greatest of all time, when he is arguably not even an ATG.

            De la Hoya. Mike had a great career but it could have been far better if things didn't get in his way i.e personal life. Mike could have been GOAT if he it wasn't for his personal life. Oscar had a fabolous career though.

              I agree he was not an ATG but, he was great and a HOFer.

              Other than the Hopkins fight, tell me a time you saw Oscar even hurt in a fight?

              Dude was incredible and fought the best of his era in a very deep division.

                  He had a solid chin, no doubt about that. I applaud him for fighting the best and he was a very good fighter, but that doesn't change the fact he is overrated.
