Most people picked Oscar to beat Pac and Floyd to beat JMM and cited weight as the primary reasoning in both fights. Both performances were impressive however the underdog gets the nod imv.
ok. marquez a blown-up 148. floyd doesn't want his weight to be taken because they would know that he is around 155+ for this fight. welcome back maestro.
Pac on DLH. Pac didn't go into that fight expecting Oscar to be so weight drained. You can't hold that against Pac. An assumption going into this fight was that Oscar would have at least considerable size advantage. Marquez had zero advantages going into the Floyd fight.
lol one guy in with a zombie the other with a guy 3 weights below both BS fights voted floyd cause at least marquez punched back
Both are pretty good performance but floyd was expected to beat marquez while pacquiao was supposed to get KTFO.
Pac's win was shocking. There was a weird numbness all over ESB. Mayweather's win was predictable. I know there are intangibes in this such as DLH's health and state but as to public perception I have to give it to Pac.
howl, manny beat a weight drained man, big claps, fair enough floyd was way bigger and was no suprise he walked it but still showed that elusive defensive style with nasty counter reactions, marquez had heart. no comp imo lets see if arum and roach shot manny in with floyd IF manny beats cotto, or will it get priced out and wont happen? im guessin thats what may happen
pac. he didnt know DLH was going to come in overtrained. if he was dehydrated he would have gained more weight. he came in over trained otherwise if he dehydrated the iv's would have bulked him up more with out raising his BP to much. PAc came in as the underdog not expecting to win but expecting to get paid, everyone was calling this a sideshow stating DLH as a ***** for picking on a smaller guy. the thing pac had in his corner was roach who knew DLH dosent have the reaction time to react to pac. He was in the same position as marquez was in with floyd having to jump up two weight classes. DLH just didnt have it to beat pac but no one told him and he dint beleive it ether. floyd put on a great show today but he had everything going for him and every advantage. marquez showed great heart and kept going, i think he knew he was outclassed after he landed and it just put a smile on floyds face.
