Pacquiao vs De la Hoya @ 135lbs

[IMDAZED]

im not sure but i think DLH was around the 135 weight when he fought Chavez and he looked pretty good back then.... he was fast too.

please correct me if im wrong. my only source for old boxing vids is youtube

He fought Chavez at 140. At 135 Oscar was a monster.

Who has Pacquiao beat at 135 again?

That stone cold killer, David Diaz!

The same Diaz that went life and death with old man Jesus Chavez last week?

The very same! Some predictable and some unusual responses here,and I suppose the next question should be,who is higher on the all time list?

The problem for DLH is that he lost in most of his biggest fights.

While Pacman has won most of his biggest fights. The fact that Pacman lost to two no names at the beginning of his career doesn't come in to play because no one saw/remembers.

Whereas with all of Oscar's losses, they were all on the biggest stage, thus more memorable.

All true dans,but I dont think those losses give you the full picture. Resume wise,DLH has fought very good opposition for the most part,right through his career since winning his first title. I think that overall he has faced the stiffer opposition. Obviously Pacman still has a few chapters left in his career,so we will see what pans out there,but I think Oscar gets a bit of a harsh deal in these forums. The fishnets probably didnt help,but I think he is judged way too harshly as a fighter.
