I’m sure he felt like shyt trying to make 147 at that stage of his career, but that’s what he gets.

People gotta remember this was a cherry-pick that went terribly wrong. A lot of people were concerned about PAC taking this fight because of the size difference.

Freddie wasn’t really too concerned as he trained Oscar for the Mayweather fight.
I lost money on this fight..I put money on Oscar ko'ing him...Oscar was supposed to fight Margarito but he didn't want those problems so yeah cherry pick

Unfortunately he's been on record as saying it fukked his neck for life.

Still, he had a great chin most of his career.
Honestly any neck exercise will fukk up your neck long term...I used to use the neck machine instead which still did some damage

True.

Even the weight harness you see many pros use for the head is dangerous (I don't use it these days), there's just too many nerves in the neck, it's a mine field.

Calisthenic style chin lifts lying down and face up are fine, head turns, bands around head for isoemtric holds, that's all fine, and most appropriate when used consistently, but not aggressively imo.

The most underachieving boxer in the sport. Dude BEEN in position to challenge guys for all the hardware out there and be the most accomplished. Probably never will though. Sad. :beli:

Oscar wanted da fight with Cotto for match making/event purposes. At that point he was trying to make da biggest fights, And it woulda went down if your boy didn't load his gloves and cheat.

Pacquaio was the next best thing from that perspective. I have no idea why you thought oscar was gonna KO him though lol

oscar-pacquiao was before margarito-mosley :heh:..you just wanted to put this nonsense in here because i mentioned margarito...oscar wanted no parts of margarito after that cotto fight..too big (pause), too mean, too much volume lol

oscar was the favorite going into the fight and he is bigger than pacquiao..why wouldn't i think he couldn't KO pac? but then oscar drained himself down to a catchweight that HE put in among other things he revealed about his training for that fight and the rest is history lol

no shyt brother lol
im sayin we woulda got Oscar vs Cotto instead of Oscar vs Pacquaio if your boy Margarito didn't cheat.

He didn't fight margarito because it didn't make the financial sense that him vs cotto or him vs pacquaio made. Margarito was not a draw lol even before he got caught cheating.

I had pacquaio winning mainly because of da weight draining and because Roach was his trainer and he knew Oscar's weaknesses... but i hear what you are saying.
