Re-watching Pacquiao vs DLH

he weighed 145lbs vs manny, if 3 pounds are nothing, why did pacquiao fight marga at 151 catchweight?Oscar did have a tune up fight. Against Forbes, at 150. A weight he made easy (let him tell it).
He probaly figured three more pounds was nothing, not to mention fair. I here you though, can't really blame Pac for taking the fight. At the sametime, no one (except Die hard Pac fans) thought Pac would win. So he does deserve a fair amount of credit imo.Comment

Or like Glen Johnson moving back down to 168 after so many years to compete in a S6 tourney without any tune up?
I take your word for it. If that is really what you were saying before the fight then more power to you. Because, at hindsight is always a lot easier to look at a fight.
However, even though you felt that way you should recognize that Pac was not suppose to win that fight. Oscar was cherry picking a LW if that wasn't the case then what was the outrage about?
And, for your last line that was after the case. Hence I'm wondering if you looking at it in hindsight or going into the fight. Pac hadn't proved anything going into the fight at all about how he could compete at WW. Matter of fact this was considered a tune for Oscar at WW.pac cant stop clottey, no way he stops a healthy version of oscar.
never.
everyone would have fought oscar, i said this before, i am definitely not blaming pac for fighting him
.
but he gets too much credit for that fight, this whole little guy nonsense doesnt work with me.
oscar couldnt handle 147 anymore,pac can, and he proved this more than once.Last edited by jrosales13; 01-01-2011, 03:38 PM.Comment

I don't know why anyone criticizes Pac for his part in this fight. Oscar tried taking candy from a baby and the baby ****d him.Comment

Yeah, but Pac needed a catchweight to beat Oscar.
He would've lost if Oscar didnt' have to spend all camp making weight. He shouldn't get any credit for the Oscar win.
I think even Jrosales13 could've knocked out Oscar that night.Comment

I was saying that is maybe what Oscar thought. I don't get paid by fighters, so I don't know how to aswer questions like that (about the catch weight of 151).
You are also correct about the weight, it was 145, my bad. Oscar is more the blame than Pac in this case...I really can't see how he isn't to some.
I still give Pac full credit for the win. It's not even a question for me, and i'm no "*******".Comment

Handspeed didn't say 3lbs were nothing. He said Oscar probably felt 3lbs were nothing. Reading comprehension my dude.
And, again Oscar was going down to 147 to have a rematch with Floyd.
Oscar was thinking about going down to 147 a year prior Pac was even in the picture.
Hence why HS said "Oscar probably felt" it wasn't a big deal.Comment
