Oscar was drinking and getting drunk for Pac

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Who cares????

Do people even really count that fight as a great win for Pac? Oscar aint fought at WW in what 8 years?

One thing we know is that Pac hit like a roid out Vargas and Mosley....quote from Hoya himself. No wonder Floyd want none of Packy.

First of all, bugger him and his excuses.

That was a lose-lose situation for Oscar (well, kinda), if he wins he beats a career featherweight, but he lost and he was drained.

I give Pacquiao credit for taking the challenge, going up one division for one fight and then going another two divisions up - Some guys, like Pacquiao was thought to do, would've just showed up for a paycheck. Pacquiao came to fight, and he was clearly prepared for the best Oscar that could've showed up that night.

What's counted as a great win as of late anyway? Surely it isn't a post prime, post plaster beatdown, post Pac version of Cotto, simply because he's at 54?

It doesn't matter. He got his butt kicked and whether they trained properly or not is their problem. It only demonstrates stupidity and the excuses don't change the results. Those lame excuses don't matter after the fact.

I agree 100%....im just wondering how many other boxers do the same thing. Heck even Chavez SR admitted to same vices.

I don't believe Oscar. It sounds like an excuse. He wanted that win very much and trained his hardest. He actually overtrained and was at or below 147 a week or two before the fight which is not the way to make a low weight. Oscar said this right here on boxing scene.He went all out. He brought in Marquez' trainer, ate ostrich meat, used acupuncture, and an oxygen room to sleep in or something like that. Now he says he was drinking and partying. Oscar is lying.

It's a shame to see a retired fighter like Oscar still make excuses about his last fight.

What's an even bigger shame for Oscar is that while memorable, the fight wasn't even one of Pac's top 5 wins.

It's hard for a diva like De la Hoya to comprehend that his last memory of fighting was quitting on his stool.

I don't see how it is an excuse or how people are coming up with excuses when it is true. Not like it is made up, the guy wasn't taking pac seriously and he lost.

[Check_hooks]

And yet on 24/7 he said he was in the best shape of his life

And he said those pics were photoshop only to say years later that they were real

Hes a compulsive liar but hes not as bad as floyd is

He also said Pacquiao never hurt him and had no power. Oscar is liable to say anything for different reasons. He is a well proven liar. Plenty of fighters hit incredibly hard without roids. Robinson, Louis, Dempsey and Marciano come to mind.A hard punch is a hard punch. Yet Oscar can somehow tell a hard roid punch from a hard non roid punch. Does anyone really believe this? Pacquiao, Vargas, and Mosley never knocked Oscar down but others have knocked him down. How does Oscar explain that?
