    Yeah it's no discredit. Especially vs Hatton. Just saying he easily beat those 3 guys. I don't care what people some people say, Hatton wasn't shot and his chin wasn't "shattered" forever by Floyd. He just couldn't do anything against Pacquiao. DLH, it was a dangerous fight, no way it was cherry picking, but it turned out to be easy. The closest to cherry picking would be Diaz.

    all the signs were there really...

    oscar didnt fight at 154 for like 9 fights ... or since 2001
    oscar was getting tagged all night by steve forbes
    his own trainer (roach) basically said he was shot...

    in reality oscar was more against the odds then pacman was.... looking at it now that we know all the sides of teh story...


    but thats not what this thread is about... im just asking about the level of competition

    Meaning not a lot of people really gave him a chance to beat DLH or Hatton and now it sounds like some people are trying to discredit his wins because they were easy..

    How was ODLH the bigger man? He was supposed to be, but it turned out he weighed less than Pac. ODLH really was the bigger man when he fought Floyd, but not Pac.

    Everyone thought he was going to be the bigger man before the fight.. It was Oscar and his camps fought that he dropped so early and maintained that weight for weeks and then try to rehydrate after the weigh in.. Everyone was thinking he would show up in the ring weighing about 160lbs, but it turned out he didnt..

    :lol: His weight was not going up anyway. How the hell is that when the dumbass weighed 147 weeks before the fight. He starved his ass for more than just the one day to make weight!:lol:

    There was no weight to rehydrate! He didn't drop way the night before. Like I said, he weighed 147 for weeks. You can't rehydrate that!

    if your basing yourself on 24/7 then you shouldn't. He might have weighed 147 for like 10 seconds after a huge training session, but there's no way he weighed 147 for weeks. If he did, then why the IV marks on his arm

    What does this have to do with when the bell rung. Quit generalizing, I said Pacquiao would win the fight by KO months before it happened.It was not hard to see, but everyone was caught about the size!
