You must be new around here. Absolutely. His most impressive win. This is the fight game. Wins are questionable. I felt Juan Manuel Marquez won both fights but my opinion doesn't count for all that much. Many people felt Sturm and Quartey beat Oscar. So what? Let's discuss actual wins. Shot fighters don't look that impressive against a fighter of Manny's quality. He was past prime in the first fight, it was his last hurrah. Look at their rubber match for a shot version of Erik Morales. Whitaker wasn't exactly prime when Oscar beat him, and was Vargas ever the same after Tito? I have my doubts. Barrera is a significantly better fighter than Ike Quartey, and whereas De La Hoya scraped past Ike, Pacquiao literally scraped up Marco. I disagree. Hatton had previously just dominated a top ranked Junior Welterweight before being sparked out by a former Flyweight. Give credit where it's due. Like I said, Vargas was ruined by Tito or exposed, whichever you like. Mayorga, also. We can do this all day. No, it's your opinion. These are the facts. Manny Pacquiao has the better resume, and is achieving extrodinary things as of late. He was a Featherweight 6 years ago, and just recently he sparked Hatton and dominated Oscar. Manny is winning the majority of his big fights, whereas Oscar fell short against his contempories more often than not. Those are the facts.
Who gives a ****? We need a little perspective, Bad Intentions. Would you be quick to list Muhammad Ali as a great win for Larry Holmes? Exactly.
No comment. atsch The Ali that fought Holmes wouldn't have gotten past Tommy Morrison. The Chavez Oscar fought wouldn't have gotten past Zab Judah.
Fail. You probably haven't even watched the fight. If you want to make a case for Ike Quartey being a better fighter than Marco Antonio Barrera, I would love to hear it.
Not that it has much relevance to the discussion, but Oscar De La Hoya would always pose problems for Julio Cesar Chavez. Oscar had terrific hand speed in his prime, and he showed against Trinidad that he can box effectively on the back foot. That's what he'd have to do if he wants to be successful against Chavez's combination's and unbreakable will.
Is that it? Just ****in wit u. I didn't say Quartey is a better fighter than Barrera/ It was just a better victory for De La Hoya... And i will disagree with you that Pac has a better resume Thats ridiculous...De La Hoya wasn't carefully manged like Pac is. Seriously hes making a living fighting old and shot fighters..Those are facts..De La Hoya fought Hopkins,Trinidad,Quartey,Mayweather,Mosely etc...End Discussion.
