BETTER WIN: Andre Ward vs Chad Dawson or Pacquiao vs De La Hoya?

That was at junior middle. Oscar came to the ring against Floyd weighing at least 160. He was 145lbs on fight night v Pacquiao.

Try harder.

 

Dawson's career defining win was B-Hop I...

 

Odds were only 2-1 for Oscar.

 

And whatever Dawson accomplished, it was 175. He didn't even have a CW tuneup like DLH.

 

that was not the odds 3 weeks earlier, but what the heck..

 

The final odds are all that matters.

 

shut the hell up

dawson is a bit overrated. he is coming off a win over an aging bhop. and at his cuurent age, he was seen as the underdog against ward. oscar was the heavy favorite where 19 out of 20 press rows picked oscar to put a beating over the 130/135 pounder pac.

 

this is also the general perception at the time even with that version of oscar.

 

people kept saying that oscar was a zombie at 147, but i was wondering if oscar came in at 154 will the results any different. we tend to forget that pac at his physical prime and came in the best shape possible. he looks like a universal soldier at that fight 'against oscar. pac is just too fast for oscar that night darting in and out avoiding oscar's dreaded left hook. we also tend to forget why oscar went down in weight early so he could gain speed against pac. of course, it backfired. but the big question really still is at 154 will oscar be able to catch pac. will he be able to pull the trigger? will oscar still have the stamina on the latter rounds to match pac?

 

he chose that weight, he thought he could match pac's speed at that weight, and isn't he the one who called pac? because of GBP, Top Rank and Pac's issue?

 

Ward is top 5 no doubt.

 

oscar vs dapidroid fight is utter farce. this is an insult to ward's brilliant performance.

 

Ward over Dawson by far.
