Sure was a joy to watch.

Hell yea! I wouldn't wished a painful end to the other guys mentioned by the TS cuz they didn't go outta their way to be blasphemous and hypocritical. But no beef wit DLH now that it's over. He was a beast in his day and did a lot for the sport.

I don't know it would have made a difference, all I am saying or talking about is how DLH looked fight night. Not arguing the outcome. I really can't say for sure one way or the other what the outcome would have been. Hindsight though I would still pick Manny to win maybe just not the way it ended. Not discrediting Manny either he looked great.

But when you go into a fight drained as DLH did you already go in with a huge disadvantage and then you have the age difference.

The funny thing about it when I found out about the fight I honestly thought DLH was an ***** for taking the fight over a smaller guy....but man do those 20mil sure look good in his bank account now....so it really doesn't matter...
but then that is another thread all in its entirety...I will just leave it at that.

yea...one of his legenday advisors and or trainers should have shown DLH the PAC-EM3 tape....the 'skinny' dont cut it


BTW- that's an awesome avatar bro...props

People probably aren't going to understand how much Oscar means to this sport until he is gone.

I guarantee that if you come back on these boards in two years time the same individuals that have labelled him a fraud and a disgrace to the sport will be crying that boxing needs another De la Hoya.

Great post.

When you watch the fight again, you'll notice DLH spitting in his corner. That spit was like "cotton-mouth" spit. So for people to say he was tired or drained isn't completely off color. BUT....he did have 9 weeks to prepare for the fight.

147lbs. It could be a lot or a little depending on the fighter.
