ICB you really put it on him hard.
In many way I agree with both of you.
If we want to be fair about a Prime for Prime match up between DLH and PBF we should also remember that DLH was probably also 2 times better as a Superfeatherweight. That he fought very few fights in that weight does not change the fact that he was very nearly unbeatable at the lower weightclasses. Like Mosley, what we consider DLH's prime should be around lightweight not welter were they got famous but lacked much of their power.
As for Chavez. Well I think it is safe to say that Mayweather has not faced a fighter like a prime Chavez. Yes Chavez has a record full of nobodies but he has some really good names there as well. Say what you want about Taylor but he really beat Taylor up like no one ever did before. And Taylor was a damn good fighter.
Yes Whitaker beat Chavez in most people's eyes. But again, lets be fair. Is this really a prime Chavez? He was after all 31 and had already fought 87 times.
Mayweather is a great fighter and there is no denying that. Lets see what happends. I hope to see him in the ring before the end of next year.
