why do people underate pacs odlh win??

[-Huey-]

Because...

1. DLH fought Pac at 147, a weight he hadn't made since 10 years.
2. DLH was a part-time fighter, full-time promoter.
3. DLH was done since his fight with B-hop in 04, should have retired after the Mayorga win.
4. DLH had fresh I.V marks in his arms according to Roach, which means Oscar wasn't retaining any fluids so that means he was no longer able rehydrate.
5. DLH looked like a cancer patient as soon as his robe came off. He did not look the least bit healthy.

odlh was the favourite going it and had all the "advantages" of pac

pac gets bash of this win but this is a good win on his resume because he went against the odds

period.

People do it to all of Pacs wins and expect to be taken seriously. Come on they cant all have been disavantaged when they fought Pac.!!!

Pac might have had a bad night as well and still beaten them.

HaHaHa , Pac always has an advantage look at the numbers was alway bigger in the lower weights and as he went up he picked the flat footed duds , and then look at the timing of his fights in relation to the other guys current form , all hand picked with most coming of loses and all these ***en weight clauses , you people call yourself boxing fans yet have no idea about weight , all you see is one guy flog another you never see why past your fanboy vision , Arum loves you because you swallow anthing he feeds you , now its Mosley who is a shadow of himself and by fight time you lot will have him this fire breathing old dragon lol .

It is a solid win because Pac if I remember correct just moved up to 135 the fight before when he beat Diaz before fighting DLH at 147. Yes DLH was favored to demolish him, it was supposed to be a mismatch but ppl obviously discredit the win because of the form DLH showed up in which Pac has no control over.

The way its talked about now ppl try and make it seem like Pac cherrypicked him when really DLH cherrypicked Pac to duck Marg.............funny how things turned out a couple years later.

Dude Oscar, hadn't fought or made 147 in 9-10 years. And the cheapskate didn't want to put out a couple of mill to be able to enter above 147. If I recall correctly, he weighed in at 145. Dehydration!!!

[Evil Abed]

The reason its underrated?

Well that easy.

Freddie Roach made several comments that downgraded the win.

Such as Oscar can't pull the trigger.

And his observation that Oscar had IV marks that told him Oscar was dehydrated.

Than Oscar gained very little weight overnight.

Manny weighed more than him on fight night.

You can blame Roach.

I don't care that haters underrate it as long as Pac won that fight. Before the fight I really thought Pac would get KOed by Oscar........the most surprising thing happened, a 4 to 1 underdog won it!! Even Xcaret was happily posting "End of the World threads for the Philippines" in the pinoy lounge before the fight....everybody knew Pac was going to lose.....that the only good news is that Pac will earn his biggest paycheck. Surprise surprise....

And yet nobody believed him or it would not be 4 to1 (or 3 to 1) underdog for Pac.

It is not a very credible win in that Oscar, even by Freddies admission, was weight-drained and not in shape to fight.

BUT

It was a win that shot him to superstardom and led to credible wins over guys like Hatton and Cotto, so it was still a very good fight for Manny.

and pac last fight was what, a one fight at 135, and he was just fighting at 130 previously. that's almost 3 divisions going up in the space of 6months.

So Manny who just moved to 135 should have fought him at a 154 or 160? DLh picked the weight just like he was cherrypicking Pac and it backfired.
