Was DLH really just washed up?

[them_apples]

he said he felt great before the fight. So did Hatton.

Roach claims Pacquiao would beat the crap out of DLH any day any time.

considering DLH went 9, maybe he wasn't as bad off as we think.

Also, DLH always had trouble with southpaws. Lesser southpaws. Quartey and an older Whitaker...It's any a prime Pacquiao killed him,

i'm willing to say DLH wasn't prime, but I doubt he was as bad as everyone says.

DLH didn't look great against Forbes. I'd say it was a slightly worse version of that one that fought Pac.

De La Hoya has been washed up.. you add weight draining to a division he hadn't been to in 10 years and you get the performance he gave.. simple as that.
A prime De La Hoya is too big for Pacquiao, too fast, too strong.

Roach also went into detail as to why Oscar was crap. He also mentioned that Hatton wasn't the same fighter since Floyd knocked him out.

But still, Hatton was a lot better off than Oscar and the way Pac fought was incredible.

oscar was a shot fighter when he fpught manny

[ottoevans]

i dont think ive ever heard a fighter said i feel like **** before a fight lol

Everyone becomes a shotfighter after they are KOed/TKOed by Pacquiao. Except when they get into the distance with him.
