    Ridiculous, people who think that Manny is a "great welter" are delusional! No different than the thought that Mayweather is a great welter! Their power from the lighter classes did NOT come with them as they out grew the lighter classes. Their stoppages were against average skilled men who were barely welters themselves.

    Oscar would beat Manny and Floyd in his prime. Neither of them have the power needed to get respect to be able to win.
    I don't consider Oscar, Manny or Floyd as great welters they would struggle to break into the top twenty five!

    Oscar decs. both in competitive bouts. They both fought Oscar far from his best!

      Well according to Pacfruits, DLH was in his prime when he fought Pac despite being "completely shot" when he fought Floyd one year earlier.

        That's a tough one. DLH was the goods in his prime.

            I used to think Oscar's durability, speed and power could overpower Pacquiao but not anymore. It's all down to the fact that Oscar doesn't have a right hand, have to go with Pacquiao.

              Myth, you don't let a fight get that competitive if your in first gear, that's an outrageous claim. He fought very differently, very carefully, didn't leave his feet especially with the lead left hook, because he had so much respect for Oscars left hook and power in general.

              He fought smart, eased his way into range and allowed himself to get outworked in rounds because he knew he couldn't consistently give Oscar opportunities to land his power. Oscar slowed down enough that allowed Floyd to take the decision.

              In his prime, this is an even more competitive fight, a 50/50 in fact You are delusional if you see it any other way. Oscar in his prime blew hot and cold, but he was the goods. Floyd never fought anyone on the level of a prime Oscar.

                Oscar threw a lot but wasnt landing much..Floyd rocked him matter of fact..Oscar got figured out and that is why he slowed down

                  Prime Delahoya might KO Pac.
                  Don't get me wrong, Pac was a great fighter, but Delahoya was beyond shot and weight drained in their fight. He was a coke head and alcholic too.

                    Prime Pac was amazing but some people seem to forget or didn't see a prime Oscar. Oscar wins in my view. Manny really wasn't a true Welter and Oscar could comfortably fight at 154lbs.

                      Them lefts made Oscar scared to actually throw anything in his fight with Manny.
                      Oscar looked like he was cringing waiting to be knocked out.
                      Its the worst display of cowardice i have ever seen in pro boxing.
