Mentally I think this scarred him more than other defeat, where he could claim bad judging (Trinidad/Mosley) or problems with size (B-Hop), because he lost to a smaller guy at 'his' weight despite giving it his best. I feel this is what has made him gun-shy. Anyway I wanna see what everyone else feels about this?

* Just to specify I'm talkin bout what mentally finished him, not what physically deteriorated ODLH. Also Pac-fans, this is NOT a Pac bashing post, any guy who goes and beats a legend, even a faded one, 40lbs higher than where he began his career deserves all the credit he is currently getting in my book.
You may be right dude... But DURING and after Pac fight, we've all clearly seen DLH was mentally badly injured... Specially after rd.8 when his corner is asking whether they should wave off the fight, man, have you seen DLH face? He looked shocked and his body language showed that he just want to quit the fight... As you have said that whether PBF finished off DLH mentally? You may be right but after he loses to Pac? Absolutely nothing more left on mental strength... With all due of respect, IMO the great GoldenBoy should stop here and just pursue the promoting career...
