A prime Oscar De La Hoya would have beat Manny Pacquiao

[joelab75]

You don't know this because you don't really watch boxing, but Oscar's left hook is one of the best of all time, and this would be a fight that would be stopped in Oscars favor, or would put Manny on his back for 10 seconds for a legit KO.

you dont know ***** about boxing! prime for prime Oscar has ZERO chance of beating Manny. Oscar loses all his big fights while Manny was winning his in a fashion that nobody ever since before. so stop hating Pac. you cannot see any boxing historian and experts wont ever rank Oscar above Pac. Oscar cannot deal with Pac's speed and power. you FAILED!

The Pacquiao that beat DLH wasn't in prime just yet either....imagine a Prime Pacquiao would do to a prime DLH.

The difference between Oscar and Manny is Manny wins all of his most important matches and Oscar loses his.


Oscar is greater at WW. But he can't sniff Manny's fart in terms of P4P greatness.

Consider their opponents before you try to take it that far. If Oscar had Manny's resume he would have retired undefeated

after they fought, manny was telling oscar that he is still his idol...
prime for prime between the two...fantasy fight forum, please?

I disagree. Pacquiao was as prime that night as he ever was, before or after. He hasn't gotten better or worse since that night.

DLH on the other hand was in the worst shape of his life.

I'd honestly take Prime Oscar over Prime Pac.

Absolutely. Without question. Manny has a lot of decision wins over C rated fighters as well. He doesn't have the power to hurt prime DLH and DLH was extremely fast and he packed a ton of power.

We're talking about Prime which was 2003 right? When he was a one handed fighter? Yeah right. This Pacquiao would have more of a chance. However a prime Oscar from 1994-2000 he would of destroyed Pacquiao. Outboxing him to the point where we would see shades of Gatti, Vargas, and Mayorga in there.

guaranteed...

Lets look at a few facts here

1. Oscar pretty much lost all his big fights

2. Oscar struggled with southpaws any Manny would have been by far the fastest he had ever faced. Not only that..Manny would have been the best (southpaw) he had faced as well.

3. Both Floyd and Manny are better than anyone he has ever faced as well. If he lost all his big fights, what makes you think he beats either one of those guys.


Manny is a smarter fighter, has better timing, footwork...you name it. Oscar would try to outfight him and while it would be closer than there 08 fight, Manny beats him convincly

2010 Manny>>>>>>>>Version of Shane that beat him in the first fight. If Shanes combos got him the nod over Oscar imagine what Manny's would do.
