    Um after the Forbes fight I knew the next elite guy with speed would kick his ass, BTW PBF was not expected to stop DLH at 154 after DLH had stopped Mayo to become champ, infact many gave DLH a chance at winning, anyway after the Forbes fight at the Home Depot Center it was clear that DLH just didn't have it anymore.

    Actually, I think DLH did not look shot against Mayweather and Forbes. But this one was surprising. Props to Pac for defying the odds.

    At 147 I think Floyd could have gotten a tko over Oscar

    We know Oscar is past it, no one is saying otherwise. Only thing that can't be denied here is that Oscar made up for it BIG TIME in this fight, that's why he was a huge favorite.

    Even if you're past it and fight a guy ballooning up to 147 from 135, don't forget that Pac didn't even stay long enough at 135 to be considered a legit 130lb fighter, he just had one fight, you need to have a few more for your body to get used to that weight, that's the size advantage all alone. Then comes power, reach, height, chin, skills and experience.

    Take ALL of that and compare it with Pacquiao's overrated advantage going into this fight. This is the same DLH who gave Mayweather hell by the way recently and beat Forbes. If you're totally out of it you would lose against anyone, watch Williams/Tyson or even McBride/Tyson as recent good examples. Oscar had a lot especially giving his countless list to advantages, he couldn't have asked for more which is why the odds were with him and easily.

    In order for Mayweather to do what Pac did he would have to take risks. He doesn't do that.

    Amen to that!

    Mayweather is the kind of fighter who would use his jab to score a win while moving away from his opponent. The KO against Hatton was simply because Hatton was lunging in and got caught by a check punch.

    But you see, once PBF finds his distance, he could KO the Oscar that we saw tonight.

    Now that I've seen Pacman can take the shot of a bigger man and can hurt them as well, I can go all out and say that he has all the chance to beat Mayweather. Mayweather's defences won't mean a thing once he's hurt and I'm sure he's gonna be hurt against Pacquiao. Speed wise, they are the same with the edge going to Pacquiao...so, bring Mayweather for the slambang!!!

    Maywheater is a runner he doesn't have the power to Ko Oscar, he had one chance and failed, please don't compare Pacman with boring Maywheater.

    I think its pretty obvious, but pac should fight either hatton or mayweather (or so we all hope). I guess the question im wondering is if Pac goes on to fight either one of these guys and wins does that make him in the top 20 atg category if not higher!

    Errr no. BS. Floyd had his chance and he won an SD. What you gonna say next, Floyd & Forbes RUINED DLH for Pac? lol. Clowns.

    Oscar's recent fights. Mayorga Win by TKO. PBF loose by SD. Forbes win wide UD in simillar fashion to Berto. When Pac anihilates him, he's shot. :)

    And the excuses starts flying again...
