Anyone else love Pac's performance against De La Hoya? So underrated

That's because nobody thought Oscar was going to come in a walking skeleton. You can't honestly say that his condition didn't play a major part in the fight. He was a shell of a shell of the old Oscar that night.

How come nobody thought that before the fact?

Was it a mystery that the fight was going to be at 147?

Did people not know that Oscar hadn't fought in that weight-class in over 7 years?

Only the Pac Stans call that a legit win. The writing was on the wall since the Forbes fight.

i knew all along that Buster was gonna beat Mike...it didn't surprise me one bit when he got the KO

It's funny how people like to discredit every little thing.

[Pinoy4ever]

They can't take that away from Pacman.

[Chopper417]

pac didn't win one of the marquez fights.

also, oscar was out throwing pac the first few rounds. people are taking the weight thing way out of proportions

Fair enough, I can respect that. But you honestly think DLH was one of Pac's top 5 wins?

Not sure what your point is here. I knew before the fight that it was going to be tough for Oscar to look his strongest at 147. Did I know he was going to look as bad as he did? Of course not. Did I know he would actually weigh less than Pac on fight night? Of course not.

Listen, I have no problems giving Pac some credit for the win, he was spectacular. I just don't at all think this can be considered one of his best wins given the circumstances.

Regardless of the weight Oscar was past his best coming into that fight.

It doesn't matter what anyone thought about it. Fact is ODLH was a walking mummy in the ring while Pac was pumped up with extra muscle and supplements to the point where it looked like a midget bodybuilder beating on a tall skeleton. It was a pathetic farce of a fight which I took little enjoyment in. Save me the posturing I'm not in amazement.

[brick wall]

people knew oscar will be affected by the weight loss and still thought he's too much for pac. of course those opinions changed after the fight.

and the way they describe oscar's weight loss is like severe but motha****er survived 7 rounds non-stop of heavy blows from pac and never went down. pac has to mess up his face and make his eyes close befor he quit. i can't imagine a severely weight-drained fighter can absorb that kind of punishment.

margarito was also weight drained against mosley because of a faulty weighing scale but you never see anyone discounting shane's win.

One of the greatest nights in boxing history. I think I'm close to the 100th mark of how many times I have seen that excellent fight.

Only a douchebag would be unhappy after that night.

It was due justice for the crap that Oscar tried to pull.

That's why I will always be a fan of Pac for life.

Trinidad losing to Oscar really pissed you off huh? Him getting a gift wasn't enough? Or are you mad still because everybody in the boxing world acknowledges it as a robbery?
