Who thinks DLH should return ?
Im a bit of a DLH fan at heart, and i cant help but think that DLH is calling it a day to soon, its not that i think he is still on the level he was, he is getting hit more and his reflexes dont look as sharp, but he did fight a very good fight against Mayweather albeit he lost the fight, he did not look THAT bad against Forbes and the loss to Manny can be attributed to the fact he was making 147 for the first time in 10 years. DLH's performance against Mayweather,Forbes and then his performance against Pacquiao can draw parallels with Mosley's loss to Cotto and Mosley's horrible performance when he fought Mayorga, only Shane fought on and he managed to restablish himself by whooping Margartio.
Whats to say DLH could not win another world title at 154 ? he would be more suited to the weight and he will be in a division that is wide open right now. Im not saying he would win a title but lets be honest DLH is not as far gone as Roy Jones is, and he could concievable still have what all great fighters have left in them " one last great performance" if DLH was to win another title it might only be an ABC belt, but it would at the very least restore some of his dignity even if was to retire after it.
Where would Holyfield be if he called quits after Bowe 3 ? he would never have had those great wins over Tyson. Holfield was 34 at the time i think.
I might be clutching at straws but i dont like to see a great fighter go out on a loss like that.
Remember Oscar you are a long time retired.
Poll coming.
PS what about Hopkins vs Pavlik ? i know people like to make out that Hopkins winning was not that much of a shock, but i had bets with people on here that said he would not only lose that fight but get stopped for the first time.
