If you watch the Pacquiao v DLH fight you see after the first round Oscar was discouraged and it only got worse the longer the fight went. He wasn't able to hit anything and everytime he threw he was receiving about four punches to the the face making him more tentative. I really feel that DLH underestimated Pac's power and skill. Really when the fight was made, the only advantage you could give to Pacquiao was his speed.

I think most people buy the argument that DLH was really dehydrated for that fight but I dont really agree with that one..DLH not being used to that weight may have been the real cause but I cant say that he was dehydrated..A Filipino commentator even said during the ring entrance of DLH that he was sweating profusely which meant that he was not at all dehydrated. Pac's style was just too much for an past prime DLH, I guess.Comment

Keep in mind of all the advantages and disadvantages.
FM: Glove Size(For Floyd), and Ring Size for the fight was picked by Oscar. Also, Oscar was in no contractual disadvantage in fight-night weight meaning he hydrated back to 160+
MP: Oscar agreed to a contract with Roach and Pacquiao's Lawyer(Gacal or w/e his name is)for about 2-3 Mill Dollars for every pound gained over 147, at fight night. AKA no hydrating for Oscar in the Pacquiao fight.
Results: DLH vs Mayweather, SD Loss/competitive for about 8 rounds if i remember. Pacquiao vs DLH, Quit on his stool in the 8th round.
To answer the thread question, I think Pacquiao would have still been very dangerous and give Oscar hell, but I think Oscar would have put up a way better performance and possibly win.(at 154 with no hydration contracts)Comment
