Hypocritical to call Pacs win great

That's why it is sensational because no one expected that it is one-sided. Pac defied odds in a fight no one except Roach expected him to win. Grow brains to understand what is sensational or not. If these two fighters were evenly matched, any results would not be as sensational as mismatched fighters.

 

The DLH Pacman beat was even weaker than the DLH that Forbes fought.

Roach will agree and Daddy Mayweather would as well.

Let's be serious. Pacman did NOT fight a larger guy, he fought a taller guy with no legs.

Simple as that.

I loved every minute of Pac messing DLH up. Takes balls to do what he did. BUT in no way is THAT Delahoya better conditioned than the RJJ that Calzaghe fought.

So if you slag on Cal, you better slag on Pac too.

The good thing about me is I DON'T SLAG ON EITHER OF EM'.

Sure, Pac defied the odds, but that was supposed to be against a 16 pound heavier DLH, not a weight drained one.

 

I give Pac his props i picked against him, i really thought Oscar was gonna beat him, oh well, it was a career defining performance...

 

I think we have to stop with these Calzaghe is on Pacquiao's level talk.
Joe is good but Pac is just way above.

 

I would not go as far as hypocritcal but there's a bit of a double standard. I think Pac's win was better, mainly because of how well he fought, but Calz. win over Jones was pretty impressive.

Never mind what the odds were before the fight, lets comment on how we each thought in advance how the fights would go down. For me they were tough fights to call in advance:

1) I predicted Calz. would win a long tough fight. I figuered Jones would do well in the early going, but Calz. would wear him down after the 6th for a convincing victory by pts. or TKO over a worn out Jones. I did not think he would dominate Jones the way he did though.

2) I predicted Pac. would beat Oscar because of his speed and stamina. I thought he would get tagged and possibly staggared, but did not think DLH could sustain enough an attack for a ko., and Pac. would cruise to a conservative pts. win. Pac. performed way better than I expected, and I do not attribute it to DLH being shot as much as Pac. being brilliant.


IMO neither Jones or DLH were shot going into their fights, and they could have given some top 10's a run for their money, but Calz. and Pac. made sure that they are shot now.

 

A former FLYWEIGHT (112) beltholder knocked out a former MIDDLEWEIGHT (160) beltholder. That's a difference of 48 POUNDS!!!!!

Calzaghe moved up in weight but was FAVORED in BOTH fights against an old B-Hop and RJJ.

Pacquiao was a 2-1 UNDERDOG against DLH.

Most of these Calzaghe fans are delusional.

 

stfu man....pac is head and shoulder above your boy....

all the experts all the writers knows that even a 7 year old boy knows it!

 

yeah isnt that sensational..

 

Think about it like this friend.

RJJ hasn't won a fight or been competitive in a fight against a top 10, hell even top 30 fighter since he got KTFO by Johnson. He is 40 years old and a complete shell of himself.

Hoya, JUST LEAST YEAR, was in a fight with the P4P #1 Floyd Mayweather jr. He also WAS A CHAMPION, HOLDING A BELT AT 154-- LAST YEAR IN 2007!!!!! In that fight Oscar fought GOOD. He was winning the fight, fighting good until he faded. He loss UD to me, although contested, but got a SD loss. Some felt the fight was close enough for a rematch, which he was preparing for.

RJJ hasn't been competitive in a fight since getting KTFO by Tarver, which happened in 04. He has been shot for years. EVEN CAL said that he was SHOT! AND THAT HE WOULD NOT FIGHT RJJ BECAUSE HE IS NOT THE FIGHTER HE USED TO BE, SINCE HE HAS BEEN SHOT FOR YEARS. That was a gimmie fight for money only.

Just looking at what RJJ did in the past years up to that fight and what Oscar did, its apparent that RJJ was more shot. Oscar, I don't know what the hell happened to him.

 

I see your point and I can't disaggree with you but maybe we have to consider that JC was a huge favorite in those fights while Pac was the underdog against Golden Boy. The people saying that the Delahoya TKO is a great win must have predicated such assertion on the facts that BHop was already 43 and while RJJ was younger at 39, most experts have been labelling him as shopworn. Delahoya did look shot in the Pac fight and maybe he is really shot but most experts did not see it before the fight. Most experts and fight fans did not give Pac any chance of beating Delahoya not only due to size disadvantage but to their levels of skills as well with the Golden Boy being the better one. Pac proved them wrong and defeated Delahoya, dominated the much favored bigger and more skilled fighter in a manner no other fighter had done before so I have to agree, it was a great win indeed.
