    looking back at de la hoya vs pacquiao

    what was wrong with de la hoya? well aside from pacquiao fighting a great fight, oscar did not look like himself at all, he looked extremely pale and weak in the ring. anyone have any inside scoop on what was going on with him? did he overtrain, weight drained, or just a shot fighter?

      Oscar has been a part time fighter since his 2nd loss to Mosley. He also hadn't fought at 147 in 8 or 9 years. Also, he can't handle southpaws.

      And most importantly, Pacquiao boxed a masterpiece. That performance was a work of art.

        agreed on pacquiao boxing a masterpiece, but im not sure of whats true or not, ive heard freddy roach said that de la hoya had ivs in his dressing room before the fight because his corner was trying to rehydrate him, he weighed in at 145 and came into the fight at 145 as well

              i caught it live, it was my last weekend before deployment, and i caught the press conference in san fran too..and i talked to roach, nacho, arum, joel de la hoya, and a brief word with oscar. and i thought that oscar would have made it more competitive, but it was complete domination

                oscar was a dead man walking..im sure he put a big bet on manny since manny was such a huge underdog and made a killing off of that fight...that was his retirment fight

                  And, that was a damn shame cuz I would of enjoyed watching him fight Margarito...

                  I said this a few months ago one of my dream match ups was for Oscar to come out of retirement and fight Edwin Valero at a catch-weight of 142. That would of been awesome.

                  Oh well.... Hopefully he comes out of retirement and fights Margarito again. Just have Capetillo in Marg corner and keep the commission and Naazim Richardson out of Margarito dressing room.
