oscar vs pacquiao was like mayweather vs mosley

[whirlwind]

Eh... Oscar was forced to come down to 145 and his last 5 fights were at Light Middle and Middleweight. He hadn't fought at such a low weight since he fought Pernell Whitaker like 10 years prior.

The ask for Shane to be at 147, a weight that he had weighed 3 of his last 4 fights and had stopped the #1 welterweight at most recently, was not as big a deal.

You look like an idiot by saying this and it only showed how big your boxing knowledge is.

people say mosley was overtrained or blood drained but thats the same excuse as oscar being weight drained ... i think the fact is both guys were past it
and pacquiao and mayweather capitalised on it.

if that was pacquiao in there though he would have stopped him
much like he did to oscar. thats why he's more exciting than
mayweather

I don't agree with this.Hoya was weight drained and there was facts to prove it what facts were there to prove Shane was?IMHO Hoya was drained Mosley fought the wrong fight.Saying Manny would have beat Mosley is a no go.Styles make fights and Manny does not have the same style as Mayweather.

only in that it was a career ending defeat (possibly) beyond that give pac his due he destroyed the greatest ppv draw ever.

you clearly haven't watched either of the fights..oscar looked like a toothpick in boxing boots..mosley looked strong..when he saw that mayweather could take a punch he was surprised..then he got schooled the good old way..he had no answers to floyd.

[roughred]

anyway lets hope pacquiao and mayweather fight each other or
other fighters soon .. they both aint getting any younger
lets see what they both got ...

I just can't see pacquiao beat floyd..he's fast but so was mosley..you need to be complete to beat floyd.

Pacquiaos dances around like a karate fighter..it's always in and out..look at his old fights he moved the same way..he's a pressure fighter but that won't be enough..the only hope these pacquiao fans have is that pacquiaos pressure is gonna be too much for floyd...boy are they wrong haha

I just think Shane fought the wrong fight you don't beat Floyd by boxing him.He should have made a rough fight.Try to have Floyd guessing were the next punch was coming from.

Except that DLH was both dehydrated and weight drained, admissions coming from both Oscar and team Pacquiao. In fact, according to Oscar, the difference between the version of himself that fought Floyd and the one that fought Pacquiao was like night and day. Furthermore, the only reason Roach accepted the fight is because he thought Oscar was past his prime both physically and mentally, the punishment to his face from the Steve Forbes bout, according to Roach, was an obvious indication that DLH was done for. Thus, he took the fight. Also, people fail to take into account that the fight was at 147, and by this time, Oscar hadn't had a fight at 147 since his bout with Arturo Gatti in March of 2001. Hs following fights were all at JMW and above.

Mosely on the other hand was coming off one of the biggest win of his career, against the WW champion, catapulting himself up both the WW and P4P rankings. This fight was also at Mosely's natural weight.

There's no comparison. The win over Mosely was tremendously better than the win over DLH, and it isn't even close.

we'll be arguing who's the greatest till we're old men - lol
