    You see that DLH never exchanged with guys that had an advantage on his physically, rather they were faster than him or stronger than him or more skilled than him.

    DLH was always a guy that just threw the jab or threw alot of combinations ... but as time crept on him he didn't have too much skill to rely on. (ala Roy Jones)

    Thats why you see a guy like Hopkins have longevity in the game ... because they relied more on discipline and skill -- not as much on physicality.

    He was also exposed for lack of discipline through training back when he fought Fernando Vargas -- he's been inconsistant in his training and has cause major setbacks in his career.

    Not for PBF but moving down to 150 wasn't good for him going to 147 was a mistake, he should've stayed at 154 and fought Fraudgarito, It would've been an easy fight for him.

    LMAOOOOO PAC HATERS:lol: Who was the underdog in that fight? Was it not pacquiao? :lol: I agree delahoya was past his prime by the time he fought pacman but he was still bigger and was the favorite to win the fight. Wasn't the reason delahoya chose pacman is because he wanted an easy opponent? :lol::rofl It turn out to be easy alright but it was pacman not delahoya who had an easy fight :rofl:rofl

    What about the Felix Sturm fight? A fight he clearly lost, against a fighter who's hardly covered himself in glory since, and yet people act shocked that he got beat by absolutely every P4P talent he faced in the last 10 years.

    Let's face it, Sturm outboxed Oscar 5 years ago when Oscar was 30 and in his "Prime", and Sturm isn't Shane Mosley or Floyd Mayweather, the only reason the Manny Pac fight seemed so impressive is that Pac used to be a featherweight. Other than that, it was yet another De La Hoya beatdown.

    Explain how he took Mosley to school in the rematch then; most would agree that it was an unjust verdict to the sugar-man.

    Oscar was outboxed not dominated. Even the # 1 Lb 4 Lb mayweather didn't dominate oscar :lol: Hate all you want, you can't deny Pacman's talent. He has beat top boxers one after another.

    it's just haters like you who never gives him the credit he deserves. Hatton is # 10 lb 4 lb right now. I would not be surprise if pacman beat him that haters like you will call hatton's shot :lol::lol:

    HAHAHA BULL****! Mosley won that fight fair and square, just like the first one. Just coz there's only 2 or 3 rounds in it doesn't mean that you can cry robbery years later and expect people to buy it.

    Well, it took you this long to come out huh? boxing was stunned when Pac made it look easy especially being the underdog. DLH was supposed to pummel and jab him to death!
    He's been shot the first time he lost is he not? And David Diaz was born shot too right?

    Margo is not a good boxer, he is a slow, limited plodder who makes Mayo look fast and talented, this would've been an easy fight for him, Margo is that shitty in the ring.

    oscar's a better technical fighter but he's easy to hit.

    it's easy to say he would spank margarito but gatti landed regularly on oscar in their fight and he's a limited fighter.

    don't be dismissive and call margarito "shitty" in the ring just because his skills aren't that good.

    he'll already be remembered as a better fighter than gatti so an oscar-marg fight isn't "written".
