    I'm not taking anything away from Manny Pacquiao...but....

    Ok, I'm not taking anything anyway from Pacquiao, it's absolutely fantastic for boxing that he beat DLH. He's a fantastic athlete.

    But let me just get one thing straight. Anyone would have beaten DLH that night. I know it's probably something you didn't want to hear, or makes you feel uncomfortable, but that kind of is my point.

        I agree to a certain extent, but Manny beat him so decisively, that even if he was his normal self I wouldn't be sure if he would of won. Manny still would of been trouble for him.

            He respected Pac's power.. Look at his ugly face after the fight..

            Pacquiao's POWER(Underrated it seems) made DLH think twice..

            SPEED, Movement from side to side made DLH look like a fool.

            People forgot that Pac is weight drained against marquez that's why he needs to move up.

              Don't worry about it... Pac fans are used to it.. We have heard that about almost every major opponent Pac has beat. Morales, Barrera, Larios, Marquez, you name it... Its been happening so much that it is expected.. No hard feelings., im sure.

                It would'nt of been so one sided no way..
                It would of been a two sided battle..

                But fair play cant knock the man he won

                    Prime vs Prime Pacquiao's style is all wrong for oscar. Manny is a southpaw with good footwork... And the last time Oscar fought a southpaw was in 2001 I believe they said, there has to be a reason for that and not just a 7 years abandonment from southpaws for a reason.

                    People don't want to admit it because they like licking Oscars balls, but its clear that Mannys style would cause Oscar problems even in Oscar prime. I got Manny by decision ins Oscars prime. Styles make fights and Oscar is a come forward kind of boxer not a side to side boxer with good movement.
