Just heard that on BBC 5 Live.

Very good boxer in his pomp don't think he's an ATG though. Never won that 'big' fight.

Here is his record in full:

39 wins - 6 losses and won 10 world titles in six divisions .

I liked watching him a few years back and always had time for him. I think though that he should of retired after the Mayweather fight. I felt sorry for him, watching him take a beating against Pacquiao.

Absolutely, seeing him retire in his own corner looking absolutely battered was a really bad sight for all boxing fans. He has a legacy but I feel he will become a bigger name with his Golden Boy Promotions business.

Lets not get too carried away chaps.

DLH took the Pacman fight in order to boost his pension fund and because he thought that it'd be an easy pay day for him. A former middleweight world champion fighting a guy who'd never been above 135 in his fighting career.

Hell mend him.

As i said he was an excellent boxer but he lost almost all of his defining fights.
He caught at least one legend at the right time in Chavez.
