From boxing fan's perspective this is some bullisht, DLH hasn't fought in over a year and has no current titles. Is boxing this unpopular that EA needs to use a has been and not a current fighter to promote their game? Wasn't DLH already on the cover of a previous EA boxing game?

umm how many of these games have been released? supposedly everyone who shows up on the cover loses their next big fight. if this is only the third one, then how could their be a trend established yet?

So they must have heard the complaints of that bum ass has been Gatti on the cover and changed it. It was Gatti and Ward before. Why dont they just put Mayweather or Taylor on the cover and call it a wrap. But I understand, they got the biggest face possible to try and sell the most. Since Jones is washed up now and Hops lost 2 in a row they must go with the most popular fighter in the last 10 years after Tyson

Hatton was on the UK cover of Fight Night 2 so that rather contradicts the fight night curse.

I think they should have put Floyd Mayweather on the cover. That won't appeal to the mainstream though. They should put Mike Tyson on it, it would probably sell better.
