    It has to do with a bit of both IMO..

    Pacman is that good.. improved fighter in almost every aspect. However, Oscar came weight drained which was a big factor as to why he was thoroughly embarrassed. We will see vs. Hatton or Mayweather if Pacman is for REAL..

      Both, in their prime i think DLH would of won being the bigger,stronger but his reflexes had declined enough for a smaller faster fighter to be able to get in and out and get by him.

        Was DelaHoya only 147 on fight night ? He must have been looking to far ahead for a Hatton fight . Maybe if he was 10 pounds heavier he would have been alright .I remember reading him saying he could make 140 .

          Could be both.
          Even if DelaHoya was that shot, he shouldn't have been demolished that way. All great shot fighters either win against a good fighter or lose by a Decision.

          Pacquiao is famous for making legendary fighters quit, this will be his 3rd.

            I bit of Both. And I believe DLh was weak, because he drained himself to make weight. But Pacquaio is that good an even better!!!!!!

              I think it might be a combination of both.

              Just watch what Pacman did to David Diaz. That's my favorite Pacquiao fight.

                Why does it have to be one or the other?? Yes, Pac is hot ****. Yes, DLH's best days are behind him.
