gonna be like billy conn vs joe louis. two highly skilled fighters... speed vs size... This content is protected
George Lopez was probably playing pants pocket pool, and checking out the shirtless de la Hoya. He is an Oscarsexual, albeit a famous one. All the hott women in East LA and Vegas and he wants Oscar to make passionate love to him.
No what you fail to realize is Duran was much much more skilled than Pac ever was a top 10 ATG the elite of the elite the best of the best. Manny isn't in Duran's class period. Oscar fought PBF the former P4P #1 a master defensive counter-puncher and Oscar still managed to hit PBF with his jab and land clean shots on PBF. If he can do this to a defensive master like PBF who is faster and better than Manny then he'll do it a smaller come forward guy with no defense in Manny. Oscar has a great jab with a huge reach advantage he keeps that jab in Manny's face all night controlling him with it and setting up his left hook. This fight is a mismatch and I can't believe people are actually thinking Manny will win. He's a guy who likes to go to war and you don't do that with a much bigger guy who you can't hurt. Oscar by mid round TKO is the smart pick here.:deal
I just don't see how Manny is going to hurt Oscar. Oscar has been in with some big punchers before and was only stopped on a liver shot by Hopkins. I just have a feeling that Manny has biten off more than he bargained for.
And how did I "fail to realise" Duran's standing in boxing, you ****ing twat? Yes, of course Duran was more skilled than Pacquiao, but he was also further from his natural weight, the difference in size was FAR larger (over 6" in height), and Duran was well past his prime (by about 10 years), meanwhile Pac is in his prime. Do you see how other factors must be considered?
I sure don't especially since Manny isn't a slick boxer which would give him a much better chance. His style doesn't suit him well facing a much bigger guy with great punch resistence and a great jab who has good power. The only advantge I might give Manny is in stamina and who knows how good that will be fighting at a career high weight. Look I'm going for Manny but he's simply outgunned in this fight he's carrying a .22 and Oscar is carrying a AK-47
Pacman has more great wins than Duran ever had. That's the sad truth of it all. Duran was a great fighter, but extremely overrated as far as all time status goes. Outside of Duran's win against SRL, which was quickly turned on it's head in their rematch... the rest of his career is blown way out of the water. He generally always lost to the best guys of his era. He wasn't far off of his natural weight either, as he moved up in weight as his body matured. He started very light, but he was a young teenager too when he started boxing.
This without a doubt is one of the worst posts in the history of ESB. Congrats you should be proud.atsch:-(
Yeah nice work, just continue to ignore everything that is said and keep spewing out the same old ****. You've obviously only been following boxing a few years, so you're caught up in the whole "size is everything" mindset. It's funny, everyone gives Oscar **** for losing to Hopkins, who was a far bigger man naturally... but is discounting Oscar's victory over a smaller man in advance (when the fight is still 50/50, right up for grabs). Double standards because of the disdain for him.
