I don't think OScar has delt with Speed like Pacquiao's before.

[Kev]

I said I knew his speed would play a factor...nothing else


I honestly thought he would lose this fight, I thought Oscar would stop him from the 6th round on at any point, I was surprised as anyone before the fight, that the outcome was, what it was. I've been saying that Pacquiao is the best fighter in the world, but Oscar is Oscar, I had an inkling that an offensive fighter would do well where Mayweather didn't, but I had absolutely no idea it would be to this degree.

Honestly, Pacquiao proved me wrong and I give him every credit in the world, there is a world of difference between beating a guy like Roy Jones Jr at 39, and Oscar at 35, nobody ever did this to Oscar. I was honestly waiting every round for him to adapt to Manny's speed then pick him apart, but it never came to pass, and for that I am so happy for Manny who fought great on every level. And he was near the weight for several weeks going by 24/7. If he had difficulties there is no proof of it. The ass stomping was legit.

Don't make gay excuses Bilbo, I'm not, Pacquiao is plainly better than Calzaghe... or maybe even prime Mayweather and Roy Jones Jr, My favorite fighters ever. I can't see Roy beating a guy like OScar who was a heavyweight, and Mayweather had many more difficulties. If Oscar didn't make weight by two pounds, and had to weigh in several times, I would agree with the thought that he hadn't fought at 147, but he fought at 150 before it which is 3 pounds up, and at welterweight that begins to not be such a big difference.

Make excuses for what? I knew Pac would win. I created a post a few weeks ago saying Oscar would be weight drained like Chris Byrd, no fighter can drop two divisions after 12 years and be healthy, never been done before.

I even said he'd quit on his stool just as the fight was about to start

True every single week I say the same about the fighter I want to lose but it doesn't alter the fact that this week I was dead right

[Taeth]

No fighter can drop two weight divisions when was he a natural middleweight? He never weighed in at 160. He weighed in against Hopkins at 155 which is a pound over 154. He came in 3 pounds more than he did against Forbes where he looked fine.

Did you say he would quit on his stool before it started on here? Or to yourself and your "friends" not htat your friends aren't real, but that you actually said it.

Oscar wouldnt' ahve made weight by 2 pounds if it was so difficult, he was around the weight for a couple of weeks at least which I just said. Manny is the best fighter in the world, maybe the best fighter in a long time, this is a guy who has foughten competitive fights with everyone before this, even against Mayweather he was competitive in losing most rounds, but they were relatively close, especially compared to this.

People who say the wieght is the issue are idiots, Oscar was fine weight wise, or he would rehydrated higher, and he would looked like a ghost at weigh-in, and neither happened. I think he didn't come in big enough if anything.
