I I Caption Pecker. Pac has some massive fights ahead of him. Hatton v Pac is now the dream matchup. Hatton is way more lively and can pull the trigger unlike Oscar but you know what...i would pick Pac to out manouvre him to a pts win
It's certainly a fight I want to see. De la Hoya looked dead in there. The weight obviously killed him. But what did he expect? He hadn't fought there since 2001.
There is a thread in the General Forum asking if Pac beats Hatton and PBF is he a Top 25 ATG? Firstly i dont really muck around with boxing lists in my spare time so i have no idea but he'd have to be ranked fairly highish, what you reckon? I can see him beating Hatton but not PBF.
Hatton looked pretty sharp a few weeks ago but he still got tagged rather easily at times. Out of the 2 Hatton is definitely the one Pac should target.
If he beats both of them, he's certainly right up there. Him and Hatton will be entertaining, he'd probably be slight favourite. I honestly think Mayweather and his accurate right hand would box Manny's ears off. Purely my opinion.
That's true but I don't think anyone expected to see that version of De La Hoya. His offensive output was non-existent.
I think PBF will box his ears off aswell, if PBF finds the target early and easy he will most probably stop Pac.
Well your original point was that Manny's win against De la Hoya at Welterweight is somehow relevant to a fight against Fenech that was presumably take place between Bantam, Feather or Jnr Lightweight.
Lets not take anything away from Pac, he had magnificent head movement and was lightning quick on his feet and didnt allow Oscar to get his jab going, he moved off inclose to the right after shooting the straight left. Oscar was bewildered and couldnt do anything. Pac made him look bad. A few guys could have taken him but i couldnt name one that would have looked better doing it.
I don't think people are. He executed his game plan to perfection. However, Oscar certainly had the look of a fighter that lost on the scales. Heavy legs and the worst punch stats since John Ruiz last fought.
