What on earth made you think DLH would stop him?
He was way over the hill as a fighter, a shell of himself.
I can't stand it when people glorify that win, there are times when a fighter deserves credit for beating an over the hill legend, this isn't one of them. Pac stains love clinging to this but it's not even close to being compared to when Floyd beat DLH for example, and DLH was past his prime then.

I was begging for DLH to retire after the Floyd loss. He was not focused any longer, destroying himself with drugs, and a promoter already.
I won't give credit to Pac for beating a man who had no business in the ring with anyone at that point of his life and career, especially when prime for prime Manny would have no chance.

DLH wins most of his fantasy matchups for me because I always consider fantasy head to head fights to be prime for prime and at their best, not with handicap type conditions for either of them.
DLH happens to be a fighter who's only setbacks, downfalls, and career derailments came from his irresponsibility, drug abuse, lack of focus, and distractions.
Thus, in fantasy matchups he's essentially the perfect fighter because none of his flaws were related to his skill/gifts/talent/conditioning/ring IQ etc.

Oscar was also 35 and coming down to a weight he hadn't been at in 7 1/2 years.
It's funny how people discredit Floyd's win over Oscar but credit Pacquaio
