I dislike DLH. Has DLH beaten a great fighter in his prime ? Sure he has beat a lot of B+ fighters (Quartey, Ruelas, Vargas, Mayorga and a Chavez on the downhill) but the three best fighter's he's fought were Trinidad, Hopkins and PBF.
His record against them ? 0 - 3 - 0
(Actually he beat P.Whittaker so I guess he has, but that was a dodgy decision)
But he's fighting PBF and we are all gonna add to the DHL / PBF pension fund. I ain't gonna watch it.
Boxing rematches ONLY happen for two reasons
1) It was a great fight so the public want to see it again
2) The fight ended in controversy (BAD decision, BAD stoppage, BAD cut)
DLH Vs PFB 1 was neither.
It was a terrible fight and as for those people who say name some other fighters that have more of a chance of beating PBF. It's not about that. He had his chance. He lost. So he should go to the back of the queue or fight a Cotto or Magarito to prove his worth. It's as simple as that. If you want to take that argument to its extreme then Ali should have fought Frazier 10 times throughout the 70's because, well, Frazier was one of only a few heavyweights who could have beaten Ali.
Anyway what it is with DLH ? The guy has lost three of his last six fights. Mayweather talks about leaving a legacy but if he fights DLH and not Cotto this will tarnish his reputation and if he loses (which he could do) then every ounce of respect that people have given for him after the Hatton fight will diminish.
