Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Pacquiao is Probably The Best I Ever Fought

[True That]

I remember this article. Does anyone really believe that Arturo Gatti was the hardest puncher Oscar ever faced or that old Chavez was the best he ever faced? Oscar stays lying. That's what addicts do though.

Well, this is his The Best I Faced list on record. So we can only hope he was as sincere as he could possibly be when he did this.

Prime Oscar at 147 would have lost to Manny.

Not a random PED tested Manny. Huge difference.

I remember sooo many people thought Pacquiao was gonna get murdered against Oscar haha Oops!
For real though. While Oscar was clearly not in his prime vs Floyd he was still far better than when he fought Manny.

DLH's problem was not only that he was not in his prime when he fought Floyd and Manny, but he had become a part time fighter by then. His heart was not in boxing anymore.

Trinidad would have a lot of problems with Pacquiao's speed. He had trouble with De La Hoya's speed, imagine what Pacquiao could do to him. Pacquiao struggles against elite defensive fighters and counterpunches, Trinidad was neither.

Agreed, but he would be on the razor's edge until the fight was over.

I know man, nothing is sacred.

Floyd beat that áss, never mind fighters like Sweet Pea, Tito, Ike, etc. Ike's jab would smash Manny's nose into his brain.

Beat that ass? Floyd won no doubt but if you call that an ass beating you obviously have no idea what you are talking about. What Pac did to Oscar was a beating. I agree with that list against Manny though. Would have loved to see a prime Whitaker school him with ease.

The bs this dude has to say to promote

Right? Oscar will be promoting a fight next month in Nicaragua where he will modestly declare that Ricardo Mayorga was his career-defining victory.

Winning 2-3 rounds is getting your áss beat and thats about how many Oscar won against Floyd.

Gatti mostly got thrashed but he landed one whale of a shot against Oscar, I think in the second round. Sometimes the guy who clipped a guy the hardest to them isn't who one might think from outside.
