    Pac also fougth Oscar with all the advantages to Oscar... Floyd is not the only one... Oscar gets all the advantages in all his fight... His Oscar De la Hoya... What you think Hopkins really wanted to fight Oscar at a catch-weight? No that was an advantage towards Oscar... No matter who you are you concede to Oscar... I don't get why everybody make it seem like Floyd is the only one who done it...
    What advantages??/ Did Oscar have over Pac?

    He fought him at a weight he aint made in 9 years.

      But those two havent done anything.
      No you are underrating Martinez and Dzinziruk skill set and overrating what that version of Oscar had left...

        So then how do you rate Williams' win over Martinez?

            I was watching an old Mayweather fight last night (Manfredy) and what struck me was how down to earth Mayweather was and how much respect he showed Manfredy despite Manfredy complaining like a *****.


            Mayweather sr was apparently called Manfredy a bum before the fight but Floyd showed him respect and said he was a good fighter.

              Is not fair to ask that question cuz Williams only had 6 weeks to train for Martinez... Even though Martinez also had 6 weeks to train for Williams... Somehow is not the same though...

                Williams beating one of the best southpaws around his weight class was a pretty good win.

                  Show me that he wasn't ranked top 3 when he fought Floyd? You asked for something cause he was never ranked that high at the time and I showed you. Then you changed it to show you monthly which I'm looking for. Now you show me that he wasn't ranked that high when he fought Floyd.

                  Pac fought all the advantages to Oscar?? lol give me a break man.

                  I won't lie, I thought Oscar was going to whoop Pac and Pac proved me wrong. But that doesn't change the fact that Oscar was a different fighter that night than when he fought Floyd.

                    Does Williams struggle with southpaws??

                    YES.

                    Does Martinez?

                    NO.

                    See the difference on why Will needed more time.

                      Man go watch the fight dude. Oscar was a shell. He had nothing. Roach even admited he was drained. Its time Pac fans do the same.
