De La Hoya-Pacquiao: 8 Year Anniversary

Many people that De La Hoya would stop him, but I kept on saying it would be a lot closer than people think

My household was more excited for the DLH/Mayweather fight than the Pac fight. Nothing against Pac or his performance, but the Forbes fight showed me De La Hoya was done, the Pac fight was just a symbolic passing of the torch.

It's funny how people discredit Floyd's win over Oscar but credit Pacquaio

He was way over the hill as a fighter, a shell of himself.
I can't stand it when people glorify that win, there are times when a fighter deserves credit for beating an over the hill legend, this isn't one of them. Pac stains love clinging to this but it's not even close to being compared to when Floyd beat DLH for example, and DLH was past his prime then.

What shocked me was everyone betting on DLH and although I tentatively picked Oscar to win I kept saying not to be shocked if Pacquiao won based on 2 things: age and Oscars last fight against that featherfist from the contender who really touched up the onces golden boy.
It was so brutal to see Oscar's face rearranged in the manner that it was.
