    Nobody knew beforehand Oscar was going to be a skeleton in the ring

    People thought Oscar had something beforehand, as we saw he had nothing

      It was more on style IMO... not saying it was the best Oscar, but pac did TKO him where it was agreed that it is almost impossible to happen. that's gotta count for something...

        Oscar had nothing. He was clearly at the end of the line.

        Still good win for Pacquiao

          And Oscar's age compared to Pac's age? (36 and 30)
          Hm?
          No ***ing way... Almost all the world against Pac before the fight... Pacquiao is just too good for Delahoya...

            maybe so... i don't overrate pac's win in a sense that he'll beat top welters like shane, cotto, marg. i give credit to him cause he did something what nobody expected him to do.

              Absolutely not...

              Everyone who's saying it was an overrated win are the same same people who thought Oscar was going to knock Pacquiao into next week.

              No matter if Oscar was 26 or 36, he STILL fought a visibly bigger fighter and stopped him.

              LOL I think the polls were like 50-20 favoring Oscar by KO. SMH @ backtracking your predictions lol.

                  Pretty convinient now that the fight is done. Nobody gave Pac a chance before the fight.......even me. Boxing analysts and critics were 18-2 in favor of Delahoya. The only better upset fight last 2008 was the Bernard-Pavlik fight.

                  How many of you will still pick Oscar if a rematch happens?

                    regardless, its still impressive that a former 106 lber beat a former 160 lber

                      Lets get things straight Pacs win is not overrated. The reason is because everyone said DLH was going to murder the little man. Its not our fault that you didnt take into consideration that DLH was a bit past it and that his performance against Forbes was a bit below par. The experts said DLH would win without thinking it through logically like a bull in a tea shop.
                      Its easy in hindsight to say it was overated. If you didnt want to be eating humble pie you should have said it would be an even fight. You cant just because DLH got smoked backtrack. Too late for that.
                      Its like saying the Buster Douglas fight wasnt an upset. Because you now know Tyson didnt train and he was having late nights and that. To try and take credit away from Buster. You cant do that for Buster. SO you cant take credit away from Pac.
