    Funny how you say it was a DLH PPV, tell me of other DLH PPVs that came close to his last. Why didn't DLH/Hopkins make more?, why didn't DLH/Mayorga make more?, weren't they all DLH PPVs?, Mayweather played a major role in attracting people so please don't try to totally make it him sound like he wasn't given a damn about and all people came because DLH is fighting someone "they don't even care about" like you're hinting. It's the fact that Mayweather was sharing the ring with him that made it the biggest boxing PPV ever.

    Pacquiao didn't lose because of his chin, first KO loss was a clear low blow and the second was a body punch so his chin is iron in my opinion. Being able to take punches from class A fighters like MAB/Morales/JMM and many others is the proof.

    Barrera used the perfect gameplan.

    Box on the back foot, circling to the left of Hamed and using stinging jabs, opening up with very quick combinations before disengaging once more. This is the best way to beat someone with the qualities that Hamed had; namely, crushing power in both hands and excellent reflexes/speed, but in a raw, unorthodox fashion that left him vulnerable to top tier boxers who stuck to the fundamentals.

    Can you really imagine Pac boxing off the back foot, and never coming in to finish Hamed, even if he had him hurt ot wobbled? Because that's what Barrera did -- he was very, very careful of Naseem's power. Since Pac's strategy is to rush headlong into exchanges with little regard for defense, there is ALWAYS a chance that Hamed would land one of his bombs and knock him out, even if he had to get off the deck a few times to do so. Pac's style isn't a good match up for Naseem's, in my opinion. I think Morales would do better, because he has better technical boxing ability than Pac.

    Lowblow my a$$, the shot started low but ended on pac's chin. you cats are crazy when was the last time you seen someone react to a lowblow like he got hit on the chin??? NEVER that is because the shot clipped his chin and put him to sleep.

    You must be joking, I saw both of his losses and I said that I THOUGHT it was a lowblow, so that's clearly my opinion and calling me "Crazy" for it wasn't appreciated. BOTH knockouts were from body punches(if that's how you want me to put the first fight), I don't remember it being a punch to the chin.

    Yes you can get knocked out from a body punch, not unconscious but totally out, it's called the liver shot if you ever heard of it or felt it.
