De la Hoya Tribute - (when he was in his prime)

[KostyaTszyu44]

You serious? He could barely move against Pac. All credit to Pac for his win but that was a shell of Oscar. If the fight had been at 154 Pacquiao would not have made it out of the third round.

nah i disagree

from 2004 (hopkins loss) onwards, pac beats oscars ass all day everyday at any weight, after the hopkins loss oscars legs werent as great and he was less decisive and aggressive

oscar was a very good fighter with an excellent resume, but he just didnt have that extra little special ingredient that makes a great champion

he lost to every prime elite guy he ever faced, and pac was no exception

oscar is a fraud.

I respect your opinion bro as you know. You are after all a Broncos fan. I just think the Oscar that fought Mayorga was too strong and put his combinations together too well to lose to Pacquiao. Note that I love Pac and his fights against Erik are some of my favourites, I just can't see him being able to cope with a strong, in shape Oscar like the one that absolutely dismantled a normally durable 154 pounder in Mayorga.

I like you Rob, but I don't like your opinion on Oscar. He was, at worst, a top class HOF fighter that gave boxing a great deal of exposure when it needed it.

Prime Oscar would give Mayweather a beatdown.

Prime Oscar would give Mayweather a beatdown.

Theres no doubt about that....

[TheGreatAli]

Theres no doubt about that....

And Pacquiao too for that matter.

[xcaret]

And Pacquiao too for that matter.

your wise words are correct.

Oscar was great in his days...

I respect Oscar because he never took an easy fight...Always fought who ever was considered the best.

Oscar put boxing back in the map..while the sport needed it.

Also if he was such a lousy fighter, then why did he continue to break PPV records even after losses??

He was great in his prime, but being a part-time fighter sure did take alot from him. I wished Oscar would have fought more.

Delahoya was a beast in his prime. Though part of that video didn't show him in his prime. But it was a good video.

He ko'd Paez and it took a long time before the Mexican fans can accept Paez again. They thought he threw the fight with Delahoya, we found out later that Delahoya really does hit that hard. And Paez got his respect back fight violantly againt Genard Hernandez.
