People say Oscar was drained against Manny... I see a master class

[$Bullsfam$]

It wasn't the weight it was the age. Oscar slowed down and couldn't keep up with Manny who was picking him apart. Nothing wrong with that. It happens to the best of them.

Now the Oscar that fought Whitaker and Trinidad against Manny? Damon that'd be something special.

On fight night Hoya weighed the same as a lot of LW's do. He was as dry as a nuns gusset.

Everyone expected Pac to lose, but as soon as he won, they all start looking for reasons. It's human nature.

It was clearly the weight.

He looked like a sufferer of starvation.

Oscar was badly drained, probably the worst I've ever seen a fighter. His own fault.

That said, I do believe Pacquaio beats any version of Oscar.

This. He took a gamble and it backfired in the worst way. That's on him.

I don't see how anybody that knows boxing could say that Pacquiao is not a very talented boxer. His ability to attack and score often and rarely getting hit in return was on display in his last three fights. He outboxed the good boxer Bradley by a big margin. He won every round with complete ease over champion Algieri and former champion Rios. Oscar was at 147 a week before the fight and that is not the proper way to make a low weight. But even if Oscar had been in perfect shape Manny would still have stopped a past prime Oscar with his incredible speed and skill.

Clue, he's an offensive fighter who isn't African American.

Sure he did.

... really? "Everyone expected Pac to lose"?
... and what were the odds for that fight -- because i don't remember...

Pacquiao was too good for De La Hoya, that's the truth of it.

A past prime de la hoya, thats for sure.
