De La Hoya vs Pacquiao?

[Hype job]

If you are interested, here are a couple of good reads on what happened. Even days before the fight and after the fight, they say they were in great shape and weight was not the culprit.


Here are some points.

The biggest issue appeared to be that Oscar had issues with southpaws. He was having similar issues in training camp against certain sparring partners but (eg. Valero and Ortiz) were let go too early.
So Floyd was confused against Manny's style. Also, Manny hit Oscar clean several times early on in the fight and that was a wrap as he was also dazed.


"To ensure that he made weight, and that he was able to keep up with the pace and persistence of Pacquiao, de la Hoya plowed through an intense, eight-week training camp in Big Bear, California, but not before a pair of "mini-camps" in Puerto Rico."

"This training camp started roughly about four months ago," Oscar says. "I do mini-camps in between so that I'm always in pretty good shape"

"Oscar started camp in Big Bear at 156 with eight weeks of training ahead of him. Two weeks before fight night, Oscar was slim and trim at 145 pounds. Pacquiao has never fought heavier than 135."


"The diet was proper ..... Oscar was basically coming to the gym in top shape at 152 and leaving at 145 after 1 hour 20 minute workout."

This!!

Pac was just the better man. Faster hands and feet better stamina. Before it happened they all said he'd lose but then the flip flopping excuses reign in, ppl just refuse to admit he's a great fighter.

Who says pacs not a great fighter? There's pac fans saying floyd is overhyped lol. Pac is great but Oscar was old and drained to hell

Off course you wouldnt see a problem lol .

Oscar was used to being 20 pounds bigger and had not been at 147 for over 10 yrs , he looked like sht at 150 and didnt make the weight which was disclosed by Roach .

But all this dont matter does it , Manny been weighing 144 on fight night since his 130 days , Oscar 160-165 on fight night for 10 yrs , both at 147 on fight night who benefits .

Manny fans are just so ignorant to weight .

Im not even a pacquiao fan dumbass. Not everyone that disagrees with a floyd fan is automatically a pacquiao fan. get a life

Don't know, don't care. Oscar deserved what he got -- cherry-picked Pacquiao and got his comeuppance. One of my favorite fights of the past decade.
