    If Oscar looked skinny it was because he was dehydrated from being in an unnatural weight class. Arum started his career by shrinking him down to 130/135 and having him beat faded name fighters coming up from lower divisions. DLH (like Mosley) could have easily started his career at 140.
    Per DLH's book "American Son" and other materials that i read about him was that DLH always wanted to be the first sextuple champion (champ in 6 divisions). That was something that had never been done before. Of course, his win over Felix Sturm was a gift title, but he still got his goal even if it was tainted.

    As a side note DLH who is about 5 10 1/2 is often listed as 5 11. In some of his early bouts he was 128 which would give him a BMI of 17.9 which even under the bogus BMI system would classify him as "underweight."

    Hopefully this post won't get deleted, as the mods deleted my posts which were critical of the Mayweather-Guerrero PPV, perhaps this post merits banning?
