    I think that may be a little deceiving because oscar weighed 147 and Pac 148 when they weighed themselves the morning of the fight. Remember freddie roach talkin about seeing IV marks on Oscar's arms? Oscar rehydrated after the non-official weigh in, so we really have no idea what he weighed during the actual fight.

    Oscar was pretty sneaky for that move! Too bad it backfired big time.

    It also makes me wonder how often **** like that occurs, if at all, in boxing.

      DLH was still a decent boxer. It makes me laugh when people compare Manny's victory over DLH to Floyd's.

      Floyd fought the FAR, FAR, FAR better fighter. Far better.
      Right on point.

      The difference was that DLH had seriously overtrained for the Pacquiao fight were against Mayweather he was in the best shape he could of been.
      Sorry, I might agree that he could've overtrained, but Oscar was definitely not the same fighter who fought Manny and most everyone would agree.

      He was much more aggressive against Floyd than he was against Manny.

      That's not hard to notice.

      As far as size advantage, Oscar had both in height AND weight on the night.

        On fight night, Oscar was 166. Floyd was 148.

        Was this a size mismatch?

            Pull, did you predict a Oscar KO in that fight?
