Obviously, we all knew that Oscar's best days were clearly behind him. And that he would have to come down in weight to make the fight. But most people, thought that despite all of that...he would still be too much for Pacquiao.
Wrong.
These are people who analyze every aspect of every possible variable for the fight. There are literally millions of dollars at stake. I highly doubt they are going to overlook the fact that Oscar would be coming down in weight, and that he would be physically affected by it.And Yes I am implying that SOME professional boxing handicappers are not knowledgeable of the sport when it comes to **** like that,
I think that Manny's performance had more to do with Oscar looking like he did, than Oscar's actual condition. Did you hear any complaints from Oscar during training camp?
Or did you hear, straight from the horse's mouth, that he was in the best shape he's been in, and feeling 110%...?
Did you not hear his trainer, Nacho Beristain, say after the fight, that the weight was not an issue?
Manny was jumping up TWO weight divisions, after campaigning most of his recent times, THREE divisions below in the featherweight division.Just because Manny was jumping a weight divison meant he was gonna be in trouble?? Bull****!
147 pounds isn't a catchweight.Oscar was completely ****d in that contract, Pacquiao and is ****** catchweights and his paper champ fights are dumb as fuck and anyone who buys into this bull**** is an idiot
LOL @ the notion of Oscar getting ****d in any contract. Oscar De La Hoya is the most powerful person in boxing. He did all he could in the contract, without looking like he was trying to gain even more advantages than he already had physically, without looking like a total tyrant.Comment

My response in bold....................But Roach himself said he thought it would be okay.
Way before the lawsuit and Arum is negoiting not Roach
Team pacquiao has also gotten alot of demands granted by team mayweather. So i fail to see how this 1 item can be such a hard thing to accept.
The Pac request has it merit but I agree its seems ******.
And random tests. Yes they are random. But explain how they will interfer with his training.
They show up. Pacquiao finnish sparring and goes to the sideline. Takes a test in 30 sec and are free to go back.
Try his statements saying talking out blood weakens him ala the Morales fight. Serioulsy, wouldnt you want to train at a maximum pace without interuption and not feeling weak when training to beat the second best figher in the world?
I understand both sides, but as I said before Mayweather isnt scared of Pac. His just wrongly inform about the whole steriod issue by his father. Likewise Pac with his superstitionComment

Did you not hear Roach saying Dela Hoya was drained? Did you not hear Roach saying he saw IV marks on Dela Hoyas arms?
I think that Manny's performance had more to do with Oscar looking like he did, than Oscar's actual condition. Did you hear any complaints from Oscar during training camp?
Or did you hear, straight from the horse's mouth, that he was in the best shape he's been in, and feeling 110%...?

Oscar was drained as hell. Not that i think it would have made that big of a difference, manny still would have beaten a shot DLH.
No it isnt. But it is a weightclass Oscar havnt fought at in years.147 pounds isn't a catchweight.

24 days is still a long time not to be tested
it has been posted several times over and over again that there is **** that can be out of your system by the next day, 24 days is ridiculous
didn't seem to affect him when blood was taken before the hatton fight, wonder why it's so different now
arthur abraham didn't make a fuss about olympic style testing, wonder why manny isComment

I would probably cut a reasonable deal so i could fight the biggest fight in recent history, make $40m and clean every rumour of me cheating.
He wont be drained. He wont have an impact on his fighting. Not from these tests.
All it COULD be is mental. And it is quite ridicoulus that the biggest fight of our era is destroyed because of superstition that is not based on reality.Comment

Yes exactly,
And them people are idiots,
Just like they said Hatton would be too much Manny?
I was right I called it as did other good boxing fans
No, Why ruin the promotion of the fight and come out and "I will be weight drained and can not fight."
Yes too promote the fight
Indeed I did, He also wanted a Rematch for Marquez with Manny,
then when the fight with Ricky was signed he bad mouthed Pac and discredited his win against Oscar due to him being weight drained.....
Do your homework
Yes Oscar is the most powerful man in boxing but he believed like most people manny was too small for him and that he would Ko him,LOL @ the notion of Oscar getting ****d in any contract. Oscar De La Hoya is the most powerful person in boxing. He did all he could in the contract, without looking like he was trying to gain even more advantages than he already had physically, without looking like a total tyrant.
He was wrong like most people........
I have no idea where you are going with this?Comment

remember he's getting tested right after the fight.24 days is still a long time not to be tested
it has been posted several times over and over again that there is **** that can be out of your system by the next day, 24 days is ridiculous
didn't seem to affect him when blood was taken before the hatton fight, wonder why it's so different now

that window he can use drugs (if he is cheating) is smaller than 24 days.
plus drugs is not something you just shoot up and you're all of a sudden great.
2 weeks of using it in camp will not help you much.Comment
