Pac fought beautifully last night. He looked like a lion tamer when he needed to be and became the lion once Oscar was wounded.
His speed, prediction, reflexes and timing were a thing of beauty. It was an incredible performance all the way through.
Many are saying Oscar looked really old and lets face it, he is old. You need to also give Manny a lot of credit for making Oscar look that way. He fought so perfectly that Oscar simply could not relax and get a flow going.
I am talking about others who have beaten boxers way passed their primes and look good on beating them. You know, Oscar got a taste of his own medicine here. He beat an old J.C. Chavez and looked good. Now it went the other way around. That is what happens with boxers who stay in the ring passed their primer believing they still have it. Mayweather and Lennox Lewis were smart to leave boxing before they got to that point.Quote:

Give to Pacquaio what is due to him and please stop the hating Chino.:-\
"Hating" oh please, one thing is to hate and the other is to see the reality. So if I say that Macho Camacho beat the great Sugar Ray Leonard who was way passed his prime, am I hating Macho Camacho? Nope. Read other threads where I have just posted about Pac and it sounds far from hating.
Okay then. I've read your post in other threads and I stand corrected.:cool:Quote:

Hey Chino glad to see you come on i tell you man it was hard to see Oscar like that i watched him for ever and see him look like a old man sucks. Nothing taken away form pacman but god Oscar was looking his age and i am very sad to seem him done i mean he did not even throw he did not dig deep he looked like corspe and i never seen him bruise so bad i got to say it was the saddest day of watching boxing for me and it sucked bad but i while always be a fan of Oscar and try to remeber the better days.
Marquez,Mayweather jr,Guzman,Valero,Soto,Kendal Holt,Hatton,Juan Diaz, Nate Campbell too many to name all these guys can beat pacquiao...but he chose to take on old fighters.
You're still here?Quote:

Plumb center is hard to achieve in a commentary and or critique, this in my mind, is close.
Mr140,
I know, huh? I am all for Oscar and I was also dissapointed to see him like that. No jab, no power punches, no lateral movements, no cutting the corners, no speed, NOTHING! I will remember all his accomplishments and admirable resume for now. Pac still looked in top shape. Showing speed, power, defense, etc. Keeps impressing me with every fight. I would like to see him loose of course (thought he lost against Marquez twice, but aaaaanyways...), see how his fans take it, but as for now it seems difficult to see him loose. There are lots of big names out there.
People really don't think about a fighter beating a guy who's old and passed his prime. People instead remember the guy who beat THE GREATEST and it is a great career builder for the winner. It has happened to many fighters who decide to stay longer in the ring than they have to: Sugar Ray Leonard, Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Julio Cesar Chavez, just to name a few. That is why, like it or not, Lennox Lewis and Floyd Mayweather Jr. probably did a smart move on retiring while on their primes. Sure, it may leave a lot of question marks about what would have happened if he faced this or that.
