Pacquiao vs De la Hoya @ 135lbs

[Roger Mellie]

I remember seeing the Ruelas fight and being very impressed. I thought he would win,but not in quite such an emphatic manor. Its also important to remember that Oscar was pretty quick at 135.

The DLH @135 would have been able to punch back, woulda been a war

[bojangles1987]

Would have been a real war, punches flying. I think it would go a lot like Mosley vs. De La Hoya, but Oscar was too big and strong at 135. Late KO for Golden Boy.

Oscar by ******ation.

[Roger Mellie]

I dont think you can count manny out entirely,he is a great fighter himself after all, I just cant think that a fight prime 4 prime between these two would look anything like the fight they actually did have. I think that if Oscar was to win this,then it would be by ko,and probably before the 9th. If it was a distance fight I am not sure.

[MANGLER]

DLH had nasty power at LW. He KO's Pac prime for prime at 135.

The same was said about Shane moved up two weight classes against Oscar. Oscar struggles against explosive fighters.

Shane said himself he should have started his career at 140 and not lower. He was starving himself all those years because his advisor told him to start at a lower weight to gain an advantage. He finally said enough is enough and just went up to 147, a more comfortable weight, in order to fight O$car.

Shane is a diesel MF; way stronger than Pac. Pac doesn't have the strength or the chin that Shane has. What Pac does have in comparison is speed and being explosive like you said.

But for that fight at 135, I'm taking Oscar. It would be a very good fight, but Oscar would take this. Back then Oscar's left was savage. and his speed was very good. He didn't have the shoulder problem back then from what I remember which is why he could use it throughout the fight.

Agreed. That made sense.

oscar beats him up, plain and simple.

[gibo]

if Pac had fought at 135. and not made to go up in weight to 147, he would have been charged with 1st degree murder!!!! hoya wouldn't beat MANNY at any weight!!!
