There was plenty of these. I even called DLH a cherry picker and a coward. Prior to this he said he would face the winner of Margo-Cotto. That didn't happen when he saw What Tony did... Then he said he wanted to become p4p no 1 fighter by beating the p4p no1 fighter...Like this is how it works... Everybody is now saying how that fight was a joke and that DLH was weight drained... Had he won the fight, that would still be a joke:"Oscar was way too big" "He should have fought Margarito" "He cherry picked Pacquiao" (Still, on fight night I predicted a Pacquiao UD...)
Oscar was the overwhelming favourite. Fans and pundits were calling the fight a freakshow; convinced Pacquiao was gonna' have his head taken off. Do a quick search for all I the old threads on ESB, and sit back in amusement. Oh, and the drained stuff came out AFTER Pac bust him up. Prior to that, no one was complaining about the weights (other than those who were saying Pac was way too small).
people were saying that arum was cashing pacquiao out. the congress in the philippines even wants to pass a law to prohibit filipino boxers to fight mismatches like these. atsch lol at hindsight.
It was pretty much unanimous that Oscar would demolish Manny, but from the 24/7 I saw the rapid decline in Oscars pop and hand speed on the pads and knew that Manny would give him all hell and KO him
Oscar was supposed to win,but that night we got a shell of Oscar.... Manny actually was one pound more,Freddie saw the IV marks in his arm,so he knew they tried to rehydrate him.. The man was a former shell of himself,his mistake but worked in Pac's favor,watch the fight and see De La Hoya,as he entering the ring.. Oscar did not fight at that weight for 7 years or so,was basically Oscar making a check..
Before the fight Freddie said Oscar can not pull the trigger,credit to Freddie though for picking right fights at the right time as well..
roach was saying this in oscar's preparation for the floyd fight. so roach was saying that floyd fought an oscar version that could not pull the trigger but still got an SD over floyd. :deal
You know DAMN well the Oscar that fought Floyd was NOT the Oscar that fought Manny cmon now,lets stop and be honest for a second...
The boxing world knows Manny beat a shot Oscar,and that is not Manny's fault it is Oscars so credit to Manny....
I'm surprised Oscar took all that punishment without looking hurt one bit, he was more so befuddled by Manny speed, Iron chin cross dressing warrior
Oscar and his weight clouded a solid victory, with Oscar weighing in at 145, and him only rehydrating to 147, it left people scratching their heads and begging for answers................ Read in between the lines
you were referencing roach's quote that oscar could not pull the trigger right? do you even know how roach happened to know this? or are you just getting your information from other *****s without verifying the source or roach's quote?
