De La Hoya (1998) vs Pacquiao (2008) welterweigt

Oscar whips him.

Late stoppage/KO or decision for Oscar.

That fight was no reflection of what would have happened when Oscar was actually alive.

 

Oscar is iron chinned and would smack up Pacquiao horribly and stop him. Prime Oscar broke bones.

 

Pac would get straight beat up.

Everything would come off that jab, and Pac would be getting rung by that left hook and various combinations.

It would be worse than JMM, because Oscar is bigger, just as fast or faster, and hit waaaay harder.

I remember in the Margarito fight when Margarito finally got sick of eating punches and decided to "big-man" Pac against the ropes, he landed some telling punches, including some wicked body punches that left Pac with a sour, sick look on his face and he backed off...

I feel that if Margo would/could have kept that up at all, he could have really made a difference in the fight. He was clearly hurt and discouraged.

Oscar would be doing alot of that, and have the confidence, the gas, and the smarts to give him more where that came from...

Nice pic, but I stand by what I said. It was later in the fight. And mind you, that was the only time during the fight he landed anything meaningful.

My point was that Pac didn't like getting hit with big welterweight punches...

 

I think I favor Oscar over Manny as well.

 

Well said Dave..

 

Wouldn't be as easy as some speculate, but Oscar by late tko

 

I think it would have been similar to the Oscar..Gatti fight...De La Hoya would have had Manny outa there quick, and Manny stood a good change of really getting hurt. And i assume this is at 140 right..?

 

****, son, read the thread title...

 

What the hell is that supposed to mean DAVE?

 

Oh!..You mean IT IS at WW...sorry dude

 

Oscar was old and drained when they fought, he would have neither issue in 1998 and would batter Pac.
