    If Pac is able to do something to the much bigger Delahoya that Floyd couldnt, i dont see how it would'nt take away from Floyd's win. Dont get me wrong, a win is a win, but if Pac were to beat Oscar in a more decisive fashion, or possibley KO him, it will definitely take away from Floyd's shine.
    Boxing is made up of a team too. U have trainers and the corner, sparring partners, and management all helping to prepare the fighter for the fight. True, his team can fight for him but coaches can't play for their teams either. U really think the Giants would be best team in the NFL without Coughlin coaching?

    U can't take away nothing froma win, point blank period. In sports the W-L column is all that matters, not the score!

      But at the end of the day, its all about the 2 fighters in the ring. Its not as if a boxer is going to get anyone from his corner to block one of his opponets punches for him, etc.. Boxers get advice from thier team. Football players get physical help while on the field.

        Ali's win over Foreman is not that good since Foreman went on to lose to Jimmy Young

          I don't think Pacman would be able to get past Oscar and probably not Hatton either but if he did I don't see how it dosen't diminish Floyd's accomplishments at the higher weights if Manny blows(no ****) past both opponents

            I think everyone can agree that at 130 and 135 Floyd was one of the greatest fighters ever. But there's been a lot of criticism about his fights at the higher weights and the main defense is that he was in it to fight the big names like Oscar and Hatton. If Pacman beats those two opponents in a more convincing fashion does that hurt Floyd's legacy?



            No. Floyd beat Oscar convincingly, and we all know styles make fights.

                What fight were you watching?

                Even old man Delahoya gave Floyd all he could handle and it could of gone either way. They gave it to the young fighter.

                  You're an idiot.
                  Watch the fight.

                  Floyd won 8 rounds easily, was never in trouble and controlled the whole fight.
                  Get your head out of your ass.

                      They said the same thing when Cotto went on to KO all the opponents that took Floyd all 12 rounds.
