    Oscar may have some initial problems adjusting to Blocker's height, but i think it's matter of time before he finds a home for a crushing left hook and it's over shortly after.

    AgREED, Maurice was a good boxer and had a nice jab... but he was fragile, maybe not Brelandesque, but close enough. DLH gets to him sooner or later with that fast left hook and stops him

    In typical fashion, DLH KO's a Tito victim later than Tito did.

    In fairness, Blocker was 77 years old when Trinidad KOd him

    And when they were in the ring together, DLH beat Trinidad even while giving away the last three rounds

    The greatest irony in Blocker's career is that the very fight that possibly ruined came against his best friend, Simon Brown. Maybe ruin is too harsh a word, but he most certainly declined from that point onward.

    So with that in mind...

    Oscar struggles early w/ prime Blocker before stopping him late.

    Post-SBrown version, he basically matches Norris and Tito, with Blocker hitting the canvas more often than he hits Oscar.

    1. I think you're exaggerating, Blocker was only 75 when he fought Trinidad.
