    the only people that thought PBF would lose were the Oscarsexuals...there was no doubt in my mind that DLH was getting outclassed that night

      Oscar came into his fight with Floyd at a more natural weight, whereas he will have to cut alot of weight for his fight with Pac.

      Vote.
      Floyd didn't face a weight drained and older Oscar. Oscar hasn't made 147 in a very long time and he couldn't do it against Forbes. The Oscar...Pac has to deal with will be a bit weight drained and older. Take into consideration that Oscar is gonna slack a bit and Floyd Sr. has stated he isn't needed in beating Pac. That goes to show how serious Oscar took Mayweather and NOT Pac. Mayweather deserves more credit. Wow 25 to 3. I guess the 3 are smarter in answering this question

        Why would a naturally smaller fighter than both Floyd and Oscar who can't even be put in the top 50 best BOXERS as far as technical skill not get more credit than Floyd? That makes no sense. The poll just shows that there are 25 people who know how to vote objectively versus 3 who don't.

            Pac gets an old Oscar at 147, and floyd beat a oscar at 168
            yeah 1 year younger. makes a lot of difference.

              1 year younger bud.

              plus manny is smaller than floyd.

              plus floyd is better skilled than manny.

              a lot tougher for manny to beat oscar than for floyd to do it.

                Definitely Manny Pacquiao, who is MUCH smaller than Floyd.

                He's moved all the way up from his first fight at 106, while Floyd started his pro career at 130.

                Manny, who was a world champion at 112 while still a teenager, deserves more credit for defeating the much bigger DeLa Hoya.

                DLH started his pro career at 135 and is close to the same size as Mayweather.

                  I never heard of a fighter getting more credit becuz he was less skilled then the other fighter who accomplised it. NEVER have I heard that

                    the less skilled a fighter , the harder the fight is for him.

                    floyd is superior to manny in almost every skill/attribute i can think of. for manny to beat oscar would be tougher than for floyd too.

                    you definitely get more credit for beating a tougher opponent. the less skilled you are the tougher the opponent will be to you.

                    not taking anything away from floyd's win. no matter what the haters say oscar was big name with a 154 belt. it was a great win.

                    but manny will/should get more credit if he beats oscar. it's academic though because at best it's 50/50 that manny beats him......and i'm an OPTIMIST.

                      Easy ****in question. Pac shouldn't even be in this fight. PBF was the favorite.
