    Rewatched Oscar v Floyd.

    Just re-watched Oscar v Floyd the other day. At first I thought there is no way Pac would be able to cope with the 160+lb DLH that fought Floyd. I now realise the outcome of a Pac/DLH fight where DLH weighed his usual 154lbs would have been the same. DLH was not shot against Floyd but I had forgotten how diminished his skills were. He was barely throwing any shots at all in the second half of the fight, although his defense against Floyd's shots was pretty good - he allowed Floyd to easily tap him to the body and then come back upstairs with the right. I have no doubt at all that Pac would have produced the same results against that DLH as he did against the version that he fought. DLH showed nothing in the FLoyd fight that Pac wouldn't have answered with a devastating series of left hands that DLH simply couldn't block.

    Just had to get that out there.

      Pac has the intensity and speed to be oscar even at 154 but oscar getting the weight all wrong certainly didnt help at all, It made it easier for pacman to get off..

        DLH was supposed to kill Pac. In a healthier conditioned state, I think he woulda done it. No way Pac beats him at JMW. That's insane imo.

            I think thats difficult say because...............Dela Hoya was active in the early rounds against Mayweather, albeit not very active, but there is a reason his punch output was not that great when he was throwing, he was being cautious and trying to avoid Mayweather's counters.

            If that DLH had fought Pac he would not have been so patient and measured he would of been far more aggressive and with the stamina to get something down in those first 6 rounds he might have hurt Pac.

              Calderon, outboxed the **** out of DLH and Shane Mosley.
              Both looked ******ed in the ring, true story.

                And TS and dont agree with you at all.

                Against FLoyd Oscar was slipping, nd blocking punches, hd very decent stamina, he ws throwing lots of punches nd he was pumping that jab.

                And he was not weight Drain. HE ws like 160 against Floyd.

                AT first I thought it didnt matter that Oscr s weight drained, but I realize now, that it play big roll.
