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

[ThunderFists]

Rewatch that fight and tell me from round one and on there wasn’t something seriously off with Oscar that night. He wasn’t on in any fashion whatsoever. A prime Oscar would have knocked him out cold

A prime oscar would have got demolished by manny, the same with tito who has never beaten anyone elite other than robbery of oscar and whitaker who is a natural lw; manny is a fighter that would have hung with the best in any era period. The ferocity the timing speed and hunger of a prime manny is nothing to be joking about no matter how much you hate him or his fans period.

Tito wouldn't beat Manny at WW? Lol

That's rich

Tito is overated and has never beaten anyone close to mannys level. Manny would box his head off and stop him. I can see tito getting desperate and trying to take off mannys head with that left hook and getting slept with that ferocious left. Or if he tries to box with manny cuts will open up all over his face until the fight is stopped his defence was never that great

lol Manny would have definitely beaten Quartay and probably Trinidad too. And Floyd barely beat Oscar, Manny completely destroyed him.

118-110 Twice 116-112 Floyd beat Manny by a good margin
Horn barely beat Pac

I guess I expected Pac fans to stfu when I post facts about their hero. I like Manny, just am realistic.

[Kanye]

Maybe that's just how it felt since he was past prime. i think mosley was the best fighter he fought

[The plunger man]

a prime pacquaio beats all of them....who else has won titles from flyweight to super welterweight.
No one simply put

118-110 Twice 116-112 Floyd beat Manny by a good margin
Horn barely beat Pac

The judges were to kind to mayweather in that fight against pacquiao who i felt got a rough deal in vegas.
I will say no more on that matter

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.

That too. I agree for sure.
I guess I kinda lump it all together. By "prime" I mean when he was at his best as a fighter. I don't mean when he is in his physical prime (or age that he should be)
Prime years vary from fighter to fighter

[Elroy The Great]

i think dlh means the biggest most lovable name he fought. no way will he give that honor to may.

[NotaPachugger]

You telling me that it wasnt pathetic when Pac would throw a punch and DLH would cringe at the fact tgat if he did throw anything in the latter rounds he would of been K/Od.
I would have more respect if Hoya had of gone out swinging not scared.

No he was ****** for thinking he could fight at such a low weight. He was in survival mode just stepping in the ring. Not worth risking his life to please a fan like you. Pacquiao would suffer the same fate if he tried to fight Mikey Garcia or Loma at his age at 135. ODLH KO win was no great feat. ODLH whored himself. That is why Manny is fighting marginal fighters since being knocked out by JMM.
