    This needs to be multiple choice.
    Weight, laziness in the gym, lack of team help

    Oscars old age and going down to 145 lost him this fight. DO you guys really think Manny could have done this to a prime DLH? LEts call it how we see it. ITs not manny's fault he capitalized on a huge payday and whooped Oscars old weight drained ass while doing it but to say he whoops a prime Oscar is over the top. Oscar had no legs, reflexes or speed last Saturday night.:deal

    Pac was the stronger man. He moved up in weight and outpowered the bigger guy. Oscar can still win fights, just not against fighters like Pacquiao. A prime de la Hoya wins the early rounds but fades and loses a UD to Manny Pac.

    I talked to some buddies yesterday and they saw on a interview in spanish where Pac said that he didn't feel the power in the left that everybody was talking about. He said he was waiting for it and once oscar connected with it there wasn't anything behind it. At that point Pac said he just started to lay in on him without being scared about his power. So I have to say that oscar was drained and was weak.

    ODLH thought if he weighed two pounds less than the contracted weight Manny would have to pay him 3 mil per pound. Greedy *******

    {I can't post the link but look for an article on ******scene.com by TK Stewart from 12.10.08}

    Believe me, I was thrilled ODLH lost like he did. However, I don't think he is anywhere near as shot as he looked. Neither does Shane Mosley:

    Shane doesn't want to explicitly call Nacho Beristain out here, but that's what he's getting at.

    The first article is well worth reading. It lays the case out pretty good, and it does sound like this is what happened.
