          he was a teenager when he was that light. so who cares?

          Pacquiao has grown into all the weight classes hes been in, and then some. to pretend like he was fighting with a massive size disadvantage is ******, considering he weighed more on fight night.
          once upon a time, Oscar weighed 106lbs too.

              I would pick the Hatton win marginally, not because of the obvious connection to my username but:

              Tszyu was the LWW king and deemed at that time to be unbeatable, however he was not the Tszyu of old therefore it was a very good win no more.

              Paq v DLH looked incredible on paper and might have been five years earlier but DLH was too old to be attempting to make that sort of weight especially to then fight probably the best fighter on the planet at that time. Any advantage he may have had was lost due to conditioning in fact it destroyed him.

              Therefore the Hatton win was marginally more impressive.

              If any of the Paq v Morales, Barrera or Marquez wins had been mentioned I would have had no hesitation in picking those over the Hatton win over Tszyu.

              Paq's career has been incredible.

                  David's win was overrated; although very smart to bring in the sling-shot so on that note, not so overrated in terms of intelligence. But if I bring a gun to a knife fight, how much credit do I get for Man points?

                  For Hatton vs. Tszyu: Tszyu was 35, had only fought 9 rounds in 3 years, a few surgeries by that point, and was still trying to get his body down to 140 for the weigh-in.


                  This is an interesting discussion.

                  Just like what tua said,

                  This David vs. Goliath **** is sooo overrated, it didn't even happen in Vegas...

                    I couldn't agree more, Manny is no poultry in motion...

                      Im sorry, but can you read?
                      Oscar himself was once upon a time 106lbs.
                      Pacquiao now weighs over 147lbs.
                      Pacquiao outweighed Oscar on fight night.
                      Pacquiao was a teenager when he weighed that little.

                      OSCAR HAD NO SIZE ADVANTAGE AGAINST PACQUIAO WHEN THEIR FIGHT HAPPENED.
