Oscar was dominated like never before. He was never in it and folded. He as we all know was no where near his optimum fighting prime, plus since 2002 he has been more businessman rather than a boxer. He rarely fights and no longer trains like he once did in his prime.
Antonio was dominated from the moment the bell rang. Shane mastered Tony at every moment of teh fight. Tony was in his prime and hailed as indestructable and the best in the division. Tony landed nothing at all, i still dont believe he got credited for landing 100 punches.
Both guys went out about the same rd, so whose loss is more devastating??
Oscar lost to a prime younger and active Manny who went up in weight.
Antonio lost to 37 yr old whose last fight against Mayorga was a stinker.
What say U???
All I kept hearing was how so many people picked DelaHoya over Paquiao and about how he was critized for being so much bigger and everything. As opposed to the Margarito/Mosley fight where although Margarito was favorite to win, people were definately not hating on him for accepting to fight Sugar Shane and this was no mismatch. So Oscars' loss to me was worse.
:twak:
Oscar was past his best and weight drained (not taking anything away from Manny) but those are the facts.
Margarito was coming off his best win ever and was on top of the world
The loss Margarito suffered was his worst
I didn't see Margarito fighting back at all. More like trying to survive.
I think Margs landed a clean shot or two on Shugs in every round, whereas DLH landed maybe 1 or 2 on Pac during the whole fight.
I'ts gotta be the Oscar fight, him coming in underweight has nothing do do with it....everyone expected him to be like 160 lbs.
Shane hasn't looked shot, just a bit past it.
Oscar quit..he got beat so bad...
Margarito lost because he's stupid and likes to block shots with his chin.
Oscar was an old great getting the crap beaten out of him by a prime great
Margarito was a prime champ getting the crap beaten out of him by an old great
although at face value the Manny - De La Hoya fight was more one sided
Oscar. He looked helpless in there. He didn't know where the punches were coming from. Margarito fought back. Oscar looked like he forgot wat he was in the ring for at points. Thank God Manny aint no big power puncher.

losing to a former 106 lbers has to be more humiliating...
Bit hard to choose. On the basis of who fought back better, I would say DLH looked much worse because he had next to no offence to give to Pac whatsoever - Margs at least caught Shugs with a few good shots here and there, but seemingly none that even made him flinch.
