DLH comeback vs MCGregor.

Post by stujones »

I really thought this was just a wind up, but it makes a lot of sense. I think it is one of the few fights for McGregor to make sense, it is winnable for him and DLH is a name huge enough to continue with this "joke".

But still I thought it was a wind up, but it is now on Paddypower as listed for being on the same bill as Canelo vs GGG 2 and DLH has said that he believes Canelo vs GGG 2 will break box office records - there is no way it would break it unless it was part of an extraveganzer - but with McGregor vs DLH has co feature - it could do.

Do you think this will happen?

Feel sorry for DLH tbh. I know he gets a lot of stick and he has done some stupid ass stuff but he was a truly ballsy and accomplished fighter. Sure he came unstuck a few times and took that miscalculation and ran against Tito but he took on challenges and was a very decent fighter, was not scared to accept fights and made them happen. Had a great attitude and even at the tailend, did better against Mayweather than nearly anyone else. Now he just seems lost without the adulation and maybe the actual thrill of the fight.

I actually think (and perhaps I am a sucker) it is actually not hypocritical. He was critical of the Mayweather vs McGregor fight and then of Mayweather's performance - so much so that he is predicting (a washed up 40 something who hasn't fought in 8/9 years) can beat McGregor in 2 rounds and put an end to the circus.

This business that he is "faster than ever" is obviously delusional.

No way this happens on the Canelo vs GGG card.

This wouldn’t happen on the Canelo v GGG bill and probably not at all.
It’s a shame that ODLH is often ridiculed, there are few boxers out there with such a high level of competition throughout their career.
He’s right up there as one of my favourite boxers ever.

Never faced a man with a losing record either, can't think of anyone else who can claim that.

That would no longer be the case if he fights Conor

Absolutely, DLH is in his mid 40s and hasn't fought in close to 10 years and hasn't exactly been living a clean and healthy lifestyle in retirement.

Whilst if McGregor wasn't a huge PPV start then fighters like Peter McDonagh would be perfectly acceptable and a 50:50 fight IMO - that isn't going to happen. McGregor will need some kind of name for intrigue - DLH is perfect for this.

If Oscar gets himself in shape and is focused, he can win.

McGregor is a very, very average boxer at best.

He was boxings cash cow till mayweather beat him,i thought he won that fight. ODLH was my fav fighter of the late 90's early 00's well right up till he beat mayorga,never ducked a challenge and was exciting to watch,proper all rounder i thought.

If De La Hoya turns up, and wants to win he’d win inside two rounds. I’m sure he’ll stretch it out like Mayweather did but let’s be honest here, McGregor has zero chance to beat him.

I don't think Oscar brings enough money to make it worth McGregor's while. It definitely wouldn't be an undercard. Too much money and too much ego.

I think that a fight between Oscar and McGregor would be as big as the Floyd McGregor fight. Oscar was the biggest PPV seller in boxing in his prime. They would hype this one up.

Probably not quite as big but certainly generates substantially larger purses than defending a UFC belt

You think Oscar/McGregor would do 4 million buys? You have to be joking. Oscar/Tito did 1.4.
