hindsight......Oscar came as a skeleton and managed to actualy weigh less than Pac on fight night....terrible fight. *******s ought to be ashamed of themselves for cheering on a malnourished fighter getting whooped on. Do you laugh when homeless people are beat on in the streets too? Do you consider those great victories?
I said for the longest time that Oscar would never return to 147, and if he did, it would compromise his performance. That said, I was shocked just how awful Oscar looked that night. I still thought he would be too big for Manny.
Funny how back then people said dropping 7 pounds since facing Floyd and 3 pounds since facing Forbes wasn't going to be that big of a deal. Now, catchweights that are a 1 or 2 pound difference from the division limit receive massive attention and some people entirely discredit performances on it.
DLH was 154 champ. He went up to win another title. Its not a matter of where he wanted to fight Oscar.
fukk ill have to wait till i get off work...they blocked fukkin YouTube....The Man knows no limits to oppression:verysad
Although De La Hoya has said he planned to return to the welterweight division and Mayweather is the welterweight world champion, Schaefer said the weight for a rematch hadn't been determined. He said it could be at a catch weight somewhere between the 147-pound welterweight division and 154-pound junior middleweight class. http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=3200384
