ODLH-PBF vs ODLH-Pac, difference in DLH?

it didn't matter if oscar is fighting at 154 that night. by the way pac and roach planned and execute the fight, oscar would get a trashing. the difference lies not more on oscar that night but how his opponent approached the fight. floyd is just contented to be defensive while pac took the fight to oscar.

 

We are not at conflict here;
Pac is a great fighter and Roach a top trainer,i agree;But a brilliant fighter and top coach was not required that night against Oscar.
All those experts and fans would NOT have gone for Delahoya if they had known he would be in the ring at 147.They wouldnt.
With those odds on Delahoya,if the people knew Oscar would be so weak and emaciated,the bookies would have lost a fortune on people voting for Pac.
I'd have put everything on him.

 

:rofl Mosley is clearly past it, Margo just happened to be a SLOW, limited plodder who blocks shots with his face.

 

DLH declined bigtime before he met Pacman, just watch the Forbes fight.

 

Well, to be fair, most thought that Oscar would rehydrate to nearly 160 before stepping into the ring. I'm not saying that had anything to do with his performance, but I am betting he wishes he had.

 

Dont downplay this factor.
It was absolutely crucial in Oscars doom.It's a paramount factor.

 

you cant use logic in this thread and be effective for some reason logic here does not exsist.

 

It was plain to see at the weigh in that Oscar was not in prime shape, in fact he looked like a death camp survivor, my dead mother propped up and compared to the man would have looked better.

Everyone who picked Oscar to win this expected him to weigh in at 147 and climb through the ropes at 160...this didn't happen. It was obvious to all right minded fight fans that at fight time something had gone catastrophically wrong with Oscars build up...if a man jumps through the ropes a stone lighter than expected he is in serious trouble.

I honestly believe that Oscar did a Duran and in an effort to cut weight headed for the pill cabinet (legal). Diuretics make you **** like a horse and if not handled correctly can have a devastating effect on a fighter....I think that we saw the effects of mishandled diuretics in the Oscar - Pac fight. It was still a great win for Pac but some people are going absolutely overboard with the result, lets face it, a 160 Oscar in good physical shape would have pulverised the Pinoy.

 

well it seems like you agree with them as well so STFU

 

He looked about equally past it in both fights - no footwork, slower hands, little real power. People just assume he was "worse" against Pac because he got dominated worse.

Unfortunately, one of the biggest illogics in boxing is that the worse you beat an "aging" fighter, the less credit you get - because the worse that fighter gets beat, the more it's assumed he's "shot". Perversely, Pacquiao would've gotten more credit for this win if he had allowed DeLaHoya to put up a competitive fight.

 

the fight was both at night
