Okay so your admitting the weight weakend him great now close the thread, why would he say he felt better than ever? he needs to sell the fight doesnt he? if he said he feels weight drained or weakend the fight wouldnt have sold as much
Oscar lost not because of Weight its defiantly an issue as Oscar made weight and only put on 2 pound as for Manny he put on like 7. I would say Oscar lost because of his age rather than weight. Pac - man beat a shot De La Hoya.
Oscar didn't lose because of weight drain, he lost because he's shot as ****, has no desire to be in the ring, and can't/won't pull the trigger.
freddie was right about everthing he said with oscar, i think oscar loss because of the weight gain, he loss because of his dumbass fight plan, he loss cause he is flat footed.the way he fought pac he was fighting low to pacs height almost, so he never used his size or reach.he was to slow and weak looking. oscar did everthing worng, pac did everthing right. i think oscar is a little hoe, and he should no longer be able to draw the type of crowds he draws either.he is wack, i say he was weight drained or got old over night because thats what it looked liked. just standing there getting ****ed up, he did not even try to big man pac.he was so post to go in there and trade flurries with pac.it should have looked like margo vs cotto, but odh proved he not a fighter.i dont want to see him box ever again.
Pac fans are itching to say Oscar wasnt shot wasnt weight drained, so they can then turn around and say that Manny is better than Mayweather based on how the two performed against DLH. Truth is PBF and Forbes took everything left Oscar had to give, Manny was lucky enough to catch DLH at the right time the right weight under the right circumstances. Trust me when I tell you when Manny fights either Hatton or Mayweather you will see just how shot DLH really is.
Nobody is saying that Manny didnt beat the **** out of Oscar what I am saying is that Mannys trainer says that the weight had an effect on Oscar in that fight, there for your thread is meaningless especially when you consider that Roach the man who trains Pacquiao disagrees with you, Your thread has no substance, Sorry get over it, this is proven fact that DLH had trouble with the weight.
Imagine a fighter coming into a huge fight saying, 'I'm increadibly weight drained and feel weak and ineffective. I have starved myself and am unable to throw meaningful punches. I have made a horrible mistake, I'll probably be knocked out in the early rounds.'
Emm Ok Roach disagrees with me but Oscar disagrees with you then. Right before the fight he said weight was no concern. And don't say it was just "marketing tactics" , etc. because it was when he was interviewed on fight night about an hour before stepping into the ring. He even said he could go down to 140. I know boxers stretch the truth sometimes but common! Didn't Oscar know this could potentially happen? Why did he agree to the fight then? He could have fought others at 154 and made a shitload of money as well. Oscar was 150 against Forbes, He only had to lose 3 pounds to make weight. He had already been at 145, according to his scales for some time now. Don't get me wrong, I understand your logic, but I'm just saying that weight was not the main reason for Oscar being embarrassed by a 105 pound midget. 1)Manny is a much better fighter. 2) Oscar is shot 3) Be careful what you wish for. I NEVEEEER heard all you De la Hoya fans concerned about the weight drain before the fight. All you said was that Manny was getting KTFO. Now you're not giving credit to a man who embarrassed Oscar and he had only fought ONCE at 135. Awww, the ironies of life huh?
Oscar definitely didn't look the same..but then again he didn't look that great vs Forbes. 145 is the lowest DLH has weighed since he fought Gatti. ANd I think he may have overtrained for this fight. I really can't see him retiring after that loss and see him fighting one more fight at 154. Roach must have knew that DLH struggled to even make 150 for the Forbes fight and that is why he was confident that Manny would win. This doesn't take anything away from Pac/roach because they executed a game plan and it came out exactly as they felt it would.
