This is funny because I was thinking about this yesterday.

Who didn't he fight? A lot can be said about Oscar, and about how he lost against the best on that list, but still. Are you kidding? It's the best quality of competition ever, IMO.

What's crazier is the man was never really KOed or even out on his feet during his career. The KO to Hopkins was a body shot and the TKO to Manny was accumulation. His chin was incredible.

Where I salute Oscar the most is not only his willingness to fight the best, but his willingness to fight like a warrior. Outside of the Trinidad fight where he coasted, Oscar was all heart in the ring and showed it at all times. That win against Vargas was like Mosley's against Margarito. Everyone was on their feet and clamoring for the KO. Oscar just willed his way to that KO, and I'll never forget.

Now that Oscar's career is over, I think it's time we step back and remember him for what he did for this sport. Incredible career.

People also forget that before Oscar, money like Manny and Mayweather are getting wasn't heard of for fighters their size. He opened up doors and showed the world the light to the lower divisions. I'm forever grateful, as all boxing fans should be.

Teri Tom, MS, RD, is a board member of the Bruce Lee Foundation and a certified Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do instructor under Sifu Ted Wong.

Teri is also a registered dietitian with a BA in communications studies from UCLA, a master's degree in nutritional science from California State University, Los Angeles, and a certificate in personal training from the National Academy of Sports Medicine. She specializes in sports nutrition and runs her practice out of the exclusive SportsClub/LA in West Los Angeles.

She has been Pac's nutritionist since the the pre-DLH fight.

Tom said she was challenged to build up Pacquiao’s body mass without compromising his speed and power when he decided to move up two weight classes to fight De la Hoya.

“Manny has a history of dipping into the 130s only several weeks into training which was fine when he was fighting at a lower weight but this time, we had to keep him heavy so he’d have some heft going into the ring with Oscar,” wrote Tom in her book “Martial Arts Nutrition.”

Tom said in Pacquiao’s diet, she increased the frequency of his meals and switched his supplements. She introduced a protein shake of about 20 grams in the morning before jogging and another 20 grams after his workout in the afternoon. There was also a mid-morning snack, usually an egg sandwich. The goal was to build his muscle mass.

Eating a lot of calorie-laden food at his favorite Thai restaurant beside the Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles was not a problem in Tom’s program.

“When you’re Manny, you burn through calories like there’s no tomorrow,” said Tom. “My feeling is if he’s four to six percent body fat and losing muscle is a concern, I’m not going to quibble about the Thai restaurant and coconut sauces. It’s more important that he get those calories in and that it’s palatable to him and that he enjoys his food. A lot of people ask me about the four cups of rice he’ll have. Again, not a problem when body fat is coming down and we are preserving muscle.”

Tom said a careful balance of nutritional intake is crucial during Pacquiao’s training period. “Carbohydrate intake during extended bouts of exercise has been proved to improve performance,” she noted. “Carbohydrates are key to fueling your alertness and skill whether you’re training or competing.”
