Prime DeLaHoya vs Pacquiao

[Joe Beamish]

Oscar in his prime would have been too big for Manny. And he would not have been drained.

Manny was a gnat. Not even that.

[Barristan]

Oscar would’ve schooled him

[LilGizmo]

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.

Yea cause Oscar was a walking corpse, Prime vs Prime, Oscar beats Manny, probably knocks him out with a left hook.

Pacquiao wins, the reasons have been covered by others

We all know DLH was past his prime when they fought but how do you think Pac would have fared against a prime DLH?

Prime Pac-Man was a beast, he smashed up Cotto, Margs, Mosley, ..... everyone

DLH would have lasted a few more rounds but end up pissing blood the next day again.

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 just your failed attempt on trying to be funny.

Oscar lacks a right hand, and a right hand is Manny's kryptonite. It would have been Oscar trying to walk Manny down yet keeps getting caught on the way in before Manny becomes the agressor by the time 7th or 8th round hits.

Wasn't trying to be funny. Take a walk.

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

It wasn't the first fight he slowed down, it was in his makeup, even though on occasion be really dragged the fire out of himself late in fights. But you have to consider that at that point Oscar was a part time fighter who wasn't particularly disciplined when away from the ring.

But I must disagree that Floyd was having an easy time in there. It was a tough fight for him, but it was more about concentration and tactics rather than physical.

Historically and in a p4p sense Floyd is undoubtedly the greater fighter, but Oscar in his prime is pretty much even money against Floyd. By the time Floyd fought him, Oscars handspeed, movement, and reflexes had significantly dropped off yet he still won 4 rounds.

Would have been a more competitive fight but I don't think Oscar would have been able to handle his speed and punch volume. Manny by UD.
