Let's be real.. prime Oscar would've whooped Pacquiao

[talip bin osman]

At the time Mosley fought Oscar, he was faster than Pac is now, through quicker harder combinations and was a hell of a lot bigger and stronger than Pac too.

It's so different it's like apples and oranges. Pac would come and fight. Moving forward and a prime Oscar had a killer jab, which Pac gets hit by very easily, and a one punch KO left hook, which he would also land. If Cotto hit him as much as he did, Oscar who has a much longer reach, quicker hands, more power, more stamina, better boxing skill.....etc etc, he would land it all and more while being able to take everything Pac threw and give more back.

You just can't argue some things with some people though. Pac is 5'6-7" and Oscar is 5'10" right? His reach would a lot more than Pac and Oscar fought tall. Pac would have so much trouble just getting past the jab. He doesn't slip or block jabs well at all and squares up so much that he takes them flush in the face. Oscar jab hurt people and he would land it a lot. He would land his left hook off it too.

As i said DLH got annihilated by Pac. But we must assume DLH would have taken less of a beating in his so called prime as a WW.

This topic is ******, any reasonable and knowledgeable fight fan knows DLH would have beaten Pac in his prime.

DLH was not himself even when he fought Mayweather and was DONE by the time he fought Pacman.
