De La Hoya: "Pacquiao Doesn't Hit Hard"

I was questioning it when he was getting tatooed and was doing absolutley nothing to at least try to get at the smaller man. No heart and embarassing.:-(

 

Oscar has proven his heart a million times inside the ring. One fight and suddenly all that is forgotten? Come on. Oscar was at the end of his career, fighting at a weight he hasn't fought at since 2001, he looked like a walking skeleton and got his ass handed to him, has NOTHING to do with heart, he was fighting a younger, hungrier, faster P4P king.

 

I was making weight for a fight and I kinda understand what DLH was saying.

When you're drained and sparring against a quicker guy, you really feel impotent; like nothing you can do will stop this guy from scoring on you. You have to really rely on your cojones and discipline not to just take off your gloves and headgear and say "**** it, I'm outta here". Sometimes, you just want to cry because you feel so inferior and you wonder what lead you to believe you're even good enough to fight.

Unfortunately for DLH, it was during a fight, not sparring. Absolute nightmare for any fighter.

 

i remember JMM said the same thing that he just had to get used to the speed not so much his power

 

Well anyone that knows me knows I'm no oscar fan but this just confirms what I said from the beggining.

Oscar lost because he was weight drained and generally just not as good as he used to be.
Remeber quartey put him down with a single well placed shot. Pac landed everything and could not put him down.

Oscar just could not pull the trigger anymore. I found it funny because people now consider that pacs best win, much like some considered chavez oscars best win

 

everyone who has fought Pacquiao says he doesnt hit hard

Morales: "He doesnt have real power"
JMM: "Hes fast not strong"
D.Diaz: "Hes not strong its just that his punches are too fast"
J.Solis: "My wife hits harder than Pacman"

 

So he quit vs. a midget who he says doesn't hit hard... what an idiot...atsch

 

Its really not Pacs power at this point of his career, its his speed. Still, his power has enough sting to get the job done. Per roach his power is that of a welter.

 

Thats why everyone of them kissed the canvas

 

It is still Pac's biggest win considering that he came up 2 divisions higher while Oscar had to go down one division lower. No matter what detractors say on his Pac's win, it is still a showcase of Pac's improved skill and big fighting heart. That's what we look for in great pugilists of all times.

 

I don't think Pac's speed without power will bring his ass down 4 times. Whatever it is, how can you argue with success.

 

Whatever in a Hatton victory is different from a David Diaz or a Dela Hoya victory?

If ever Pacquiao knocks the tar out of Hatton, and then Ricky claims the same thing all these other losers claimed, it was the speed that did it not the power, what do we find out?

Will PacMan be a lesser fighter because of it?

I personally find it ridiculous that the fighters who lost by stoppage to Pacquiao are the ones poohpoohing his punching power.

 

If Pacquiao wasn't hitting hard, why quit? If Oscar wasn't feeling the pain, why wouldn't he push through and lose on points rather than go through the indignity of (a) giving up, and (b) being stopped, and (c) being stopped by a naturally smaller man. He is lying trying to make things look a little better for himself.

Making the ALMIGHTY jump from 150lbs in his last fight before this to 147lbs for this fight did NOT leave Oscar utterly incapable of throwing a punch in defiance. He (in his current past-prime state) simply could not deal with Pacquiao's movement and speed.

 

Yeah right . . . that's why DLH quit . . . to avoid the KD.

Only a moron would expect Roach to tell Pacquaio to go all out in the early rounds.
