    No, when Oscar came in so light it was just when would he be stopped but even then Pacquaio couldnt put him down or away. Oscar just quit.

    Mosley is a steroid cheat, fuck him! Stop giving him props for being a dirty cunt.
    Bullshit. I'm not buying that you thought a fucking 1 fight lightweight would stop Oscar. Not a chance you saw that coming.

    Yes Mosley is a steroid cheat, but he tested clean for that fight, and it was against a guy planning to use loaded gloves on him.
    Fuck off!

    Not one single person who knew anything about boxing, thought Oscar stood a chance. He, hadnt fought at that weight for over 7 years and only managed to put just over a pound on over night by the use of an intravenus (or however you spell it) drip!

    This fight to me is absolutely no different to Wards win over Dawson. Although Dawson agreed to it the fight was a joke and meaningless.

    The question Beanflicker asked was who was a massive underdog for the oddsmakers that completely dominated the fight. Pacquiao was at best a Super-Feather who jumped up to fight a Junior-Middle at Welter. Yes, Oscar was weight drained, but he was a massive favourite with the bookies and he got dominated. I'd love you to find a post where you predicted Pacquiao would stop him, because I genuinely believe you're full of shit.
    Bullshit

    The thread starter was
    I'm not talking about the fights where the underdog scores a KO on a "lucky punch" or anything like that.

    I'm talking about fights where the big underdog absolutely dominated the favorite in a way that would suggest that the underdog was CLEARLY the better fighter going in and make the oddsmakers say "WTF was I thinking."

    Thinking along the lines of a Jeff Lacy/Joe Calzaghe situation, where the underdog just eats the favorite's soul in the ring.

    Asking which fights had "big underdog absolutely dominated the favorite in a way that would suggest that the underdog was CLEARLY the better fighter"

    Pacquiao wasnt the big underdog.

    Edit, hmm, after posting this is I searched to see what the odds where and Pacquiao was indeed an underdog, although not massively. I never had any interest in this fight because of the weight. Same as who really got excitited about Dawson fighting Ward?

    Anyway. The post starter was after examples where the massive u derdog beats down the favourite. I think this fight is more a fact a bunch of no nothings made the odds. I havent looked what the odds for Dawson v Ward were but youd hope they learnt their lesson that when a fighter has to drop down to a weight he hasnt been at for years, hes not going to win.
