Would Pacquiao get more respect for the De la hoya fight

its only now that people say it was a farce, everyone picked hoya to beat pac's ass. revisionism at its finest

 

How about your eyes?

I think we were all waiting for the fight expecting something great. When we all saw ODLH in that ring? Wow. He did not look healthy.

If you want to say he looked great? Go ahead, but it just shows the level of your delusion.

 

Nobody knows what a fighter looks like before the day.

We all remembered the ODLH that fought Mayweather. Pac made sure that guy didn't show up.

 

please enlighten us on what taking an IV means....

 

What the hell are you talking about? Oscar showing up the way he did was a DIRECT RESULT of the contract negotiations! Looking at him showed that he was in no shape to be a competitor on that level. We were all expecting to see the ODLH that fought Mayweather or some shade of him. To say anything else is ignorant.

No Margarito isn't. He tried 154 and got spanked by a blah guy there. He is a WW fighter. It is his best weight and the ONLY weight he has campaigned at successfully. To say anything else is ignorant.

I am fine with catchweights when a fighter is willing to put his title on the line for them. The problem is this is a VACANT title! You can't have a catch weight for a vacant title! Why not fight for the HW title at 170? Pac is cooking the history books. To say anything else is ignorant.

Margarito is a live dog and could win this.

 

I never said he looked great but he didn't look completely fragile as well like what you're clearly implying.

 

BS he didn't. He looked like complete crap!

 

I was using the term to describe the procedure in the spirit of quick communication.

It actually means taking fluids intravenously. Probably a mix of electrolytes and sugars.

Keep up with us...

 

Pacquiao doesn't have anything to do with ODLH's condition, end of discussion. It was Hoya's decision to make the fight at that weight. It was Hoya's training that got him down for that drained weight. It was Hoya who had the edge in bargaining power and PPV relevance.

Pacquiao didn't do jack all to DLH, He did it to himself and any attempts to argue otherwise are stupid.

 

I know plenty who picked De La Hoya to win. You don't know anything.

 

Who is arguing otherwise? My argument is that he should not get full credit for beating up on that husk of an ATG. Should fighters be getting full credit for beating RJJ? He is taking fights.

Just stop. You sound silly.

 

So how come he didnt get kDed even once? Cotto got kDed not just once, you telling me Cotto was weaker?

 

If Pacquiao beats a 144lb De La Hoya he is the GOAT.

 

Probably because at least DLH would have shown he wasnt dead before getting into the ring.
