I dont know guys....The Oscar that fought floyd was 165 at fightnight and probably slow and slugglish, and coming off an overrated KO win over that bum Mayorga. The Oscar that fought Manny was at his prime weight of 147 and coming up an impressive win over Steve Forbes. Ima have to give it too Manny

one things for sure the oscar that fought Trinidad at WW would beat Mayweather. If this past prime Oscar got a split decision and took at least 5 rounds. Prime Oscar Schools both

Clearly Mayweather, Oscar set the negotiations, so he would come in around a more natural weight that he was use to.

He picked the glove size, made the ring smaller so he could be able to cutt Mayweather off quicker. Oscar should have been in his comfort zone he had everything going for him, the crowd, gloves, ring size, walking around weight.

The Pacquiao vs Oscar fight was weird, I mean he wasn't what you were use to seeing in a Oscar fight.

Floyd. Whoever votes Pac is just a **** rider.

It's because despite being a one-sided fight, it was exciting to casual fight fans. Casual fight fans thought the Floyd/ODLH fight was boring. In addition, not many people gave Pac a chance in beating ODLH. Many people were already picking Floyd to beat ODLH.

you honestly think that fight should had been scored a SD? May outlanded him 43-21% it wasn't even close, Floyd controlled the entire fight.

It's funny, because Pacquiao fans can clearly see when a REF has ruled something wrong on Pacquiao, or when the score cards are closer than it should be for a Pacquiao bout.

But when it comes to any fighter besides Pacquiao they ignore it. Oscar clearly got beat, one of the judges TRIED to give him some leadway.
