Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: I Knew Pacquiao Would Beat Me Up, I Was a Dead Man

[PittyPat]

On DLH's worst night, I thought Pacquiao looked his absolute best. Even in the Hatton and Cotto fights after that, which fans often refer to as his best performances, I still think he has never looked quite as awesome – meaning how sharp his punches were, his speed, head movement; everything – as he did in that beatdown against DLH.

I wasn't on BS forums around the time of the pre-fight hype, but I was predicting a Pacquiao win pretty much how it happened. I knew he'd run rings around DLH, but I still couldn't believe what I saw when he unleashed that ferocious firestorm of non-stop punches.

Oscar was weight drained as hell for that fight.

Freddie Roach even said he could see marks on Oscar's arms from where they tried to rehydrate him with IVs.

don't know why he came in at 145 lbs ...he should have been on the line ..why so drained and then not able to rehydrate for fight nite ...something was wrong there

Here's what his conditioning coach Rob Garcia had to say:

dead man walking...ODLH hadn't weighed 147 in over 7 yrs...everyone would look great against a drained fighter. same as ward vs dawson, again 7 yrs the last time chad weighed 168. ...back to ODLH he actually knew it was a big money fight but what we forgot that he thought he had manny in the pocket but he lost him to top rank. it was suppose to be win-win situation but in the end he won great money but he losed a major investment.

lol ODH took pacquiao because he thought he was small thus the easy option
He got beat up so bad he had to pretend he knew he was gonna lose all along

You sound fckin ******ed clown.

You love him in drag dressing, right? Sorry for disturbing your ****** dreams, dude.

[MC Hammer]

No, he has clearly beaten Whitaker. And also no, he was one of the best boxers of his generation. Olympic Gold medal and 6 weights champion titles aren't given for nothing.

Then its time to start giving 4 weight champion Adrien Broner the respect he deserves as a great of this generation

He also lost to Ike Quartey and Pernell Whitaker, but unfortunately the history books say different things... De La Hoya must be the most massive hype job of the last 50 years or so. Every time he stepped into the ring with quality opposition he lost, either officially or not.

BS he did not loose to those guys. Pernell Whitaker was close but Quartey he clearly beat
Close but beat. Oscar for everybody in their Prime and beat them all - very few. I mean Hopkins look at him now is 175 pounds. He was a very big middleweight and Oscar was never a middleweight. Any given day and Oscar's Prime he would have Dogged Manny Pacquiao. Everybody knew he was a dead man walking when he got in that ring. Just like the second Sugar Shane fight Oscar out landed him by 120 punches but somehow I lost. He outclassed Sugar Shane the whole time and that's when you knew people were getting paid. Tito Trinidad Oscar with beating the s*** out of him the whole fight - the last four rounds where is Corner told him run do not fight just run the biggest mistake of his career. Tito did nothing to Oscar Oscar was putting a boxing clinic on him.
