    If it did, we could've really seen Oscar get KTFO.

    I doubt it. It would have been more one sided than their first fight cause Oscar's speed and what was left of his already questionable stamina is rapidly fading but Floyd doesn't put the heat on like the Pacman. Mayweather threw less punches over 12 than Pac threw in 7-8 rounds.

    It was obvious during the Forbes fight he was done but the nutthugers couldn't admit it.

    There's nothing that Floyd could have done better than PAc tonight.

    forget about it. Floyd had his shot a year ago.

    i expect that to be similar to the first fight. Pac and PBF have different styles.

    PBF would have stopped DLH tonight, the guy looked like **** when he fought Forbes, which is why I said Pac would win. Still I didn't expect him to get raped like this.

    Sreriously im no ******* but if it was so ****ing obvious Oscar was shot why did't most of you see this coming. I personally am SHOCKED but give Pac man credit he STOPPED DLH quicker than Hopkins.

    Sorry but what you saw tonight was what PACQUIAO did, Mayweather doesn't represent that nor anyone else. Mayweather was expected to do that when he fought DLH and it turned out to be extremely competitive and extremely close, even in a rematch I wouldn't pick Mayweather to do what Pacquiao did. Both have different styles and a WAY smaller Pacquiao fought like he was the WAY bigger guy.

    If it was Mayweather or anyone else in there the result WON'T be the same, appreciate the fact that Pacquiao made the impossible tonight. :good

    :nono he was fighting at MW for the fist time + he didn't really train for the fight you could see how out of shape he was. A bad performance no doubt but he was not shot until the Forbes fight IMO.

    MANY people saw it coming, but thought the size difference would be enough to at least give Oscar a chance. It wasn't. He couldn't pull the trigger AT ALL, couldn't move his head, couldn't move his feet... for god's sake go watch ODLH vs. anyone at welterweight and if you can't see a completely shot fighter tonight you're not looking hard enough.

    Props to Pac, it's a hell of an achievement but GODDAM Oscar looked like ****. *I* could have given Pac a better fight than that.

    That would be HUGE, whether it's that fight or vs Hatton but against Mayweather, damn man now that's insane. I can honestly admit that I don't know who to bet on in this fight, though I might be leaning towards Pacquiao to be honest. MAKE IT HAPPEN AND LET THE DISCUSSIONS START!

    Though of course, I want to see Pacquiao have an easy stay-active fight first then it can happen for sure.

    I disagree completely. Manny was far more active tonight than Floyd on any night. Salute, Pac! I'm a fan of the brawl, and that was the best damn boxing lesson I've ever seen. Pac would smoke Floyd.
