Such a great fight that would've been, would of been the type of fight you review if you want a crash course on how to box
Real truth is Oscar didn't want to catch that fade from Margarito so he cherry picked Manny and got the beating of his life for his bytchery.
Moral of the story.......The boxing gods don't like ugly and there's no short cut to greatness.
Looking back, All Oscar had to do was drag Antonio up to 154lb (where he was less effective word to Santos) and beat him. I mean sure it would have been a tougher fight than Mayorga, but it was still winnable.

Yes it is the point...Floyd said it himself breh
What do you mean "everything in his favor"?
Pacquiao came UP 2 weight divisions in order to fight DLH, who came in at only 3 lbs less than his previous fight.....at a weight class HE chose for them (DLH vs Pac) to fight at.
Again, as of March 2008, Pacquiao was a Super Featherweight. As of December 2008, he was fighting 3 divisions north at 147 against a guy who just destroyed Stevie Forbes, looking GREAT in the process, and took Floyd Mayweather for his hardest fought fight since JLC 1 at the time
What advantages did Pacquiao have in the fight? He didnt pick the ring size, gloves, or weight. He was the B-Side, even lower than Floyd was when he fought DLH.
It's not an agenda if you dont care about neither fighter. The truth is DLH called all the shot for the Pacquiao fight, so what advantages did Pacquiao have in his favor. Since when does a B-Side call the shots over an A-Side the caliber of ODLH?
It's not correct
Floyd struggled with DLH to a close victory while Manny DESTROYED DLH....coming up 2 weight classes and in his very 1st fight at Welterweight.
DLH was old against BOTH of them, however, Manny killed him while Floyd got a close decision victory. In what world is a close decision more impressive than making the larger fighter quit in only 8 rounds?
Come on breh...come on
It aint a moot point. Floyd KNEW, the words out of his own mouth, that Canelo would be drained because he would have to lose too much weight. How's he gonna talk about Pacquiao fighting a drained Cotto 2 lbs south of 147 when he fought a drained Canelo 2 lbs south of 154.
Pot meet Kettle.
SMH
You agree with him that Floyd's victory over Oscar De La Hoya was more impressive than Manny's?
ALOT of BOXERS ducked floydI didn't know floyd was #2 pound for pound behind roy jones back in 99
He wasn't a draw
I didn't know floyd was #2 pound for pound behind roy jones back in 99
Floyd was ranked #5 P4P in 2003.......Manny Pacquiao was ranked #6 P4P
Floyd has been on the P4P list every year since his debut on the list in 1998 (except when he retired), Pacquiao has been on it every year since 2003
This fight was destined by the Boxing Gawds brehs
***Side note***
Funny how people are always saying "Bu-bu-but, Pacquiao was a nobody. Where was he when Floyd was dominating?!
"Right under Floyd 12 years ago
yes because he fought DLH at his natural weight and Dlh came in bigger than 154 on fight night with no weight fine but pac had a drained DLH, even though that's DLH fault. and DLH COULD NOT REHYDRATED, DUDE HAD TO GET IVS, BREH!

You were more impressed with Floyd's victory over ODLH than Manny Pacquiao's
I'll let the others get away with it, but you? Come on now
Pacquiao has been on the P4P lists for the past 4,102 days
You're gonna disregard a fighter who's been known and ranked as a Top 10 fighter in the entire sport since Ludacris was asking us to "Stand Up"
