Did the Mayweather fight finish Oscar?

Suddenly the "I won't fight anymore Puerto Ricans" quote all makes sense...also the avoidance of Margarito makes sense as well.

Add to that avoiding Vernon Forrest and Corey Spinks (as laughable as a fight against Spinks may seem).

Are you guys serious? Spinks was never even remotely a serious economic commodity, and Forrest lost his chance at a fight with Oscar by losing to Mayorga. The only guy who you could reasonably say Oscar should have fought was Winky, but Winky's style made him more of a fringe guy as far as the general public was concerned. Oscar fought pretty much everyone. Look at his record and find me another contemporary fighter who fought more quality opponents than Oscar did. You won't be able to find one.

I really thought for Pac to have a chance in this fight...Oscar had to come in either weight drained or shot. The whole weight issue really confused me...no idea why he came in so light...but it clearly didn't help his chances. But it was also clear that he just didn't have it in him right from the onset. He threw his jab half heartedly even in the beginning of the fight. He was completely flat footed and lethargic. Does that discount what Pac accomplished...absolutely not. Pac had the perfect gameplan and physical ability to be a nightmare for THIS version of Oscar. Props to Roach (who i have been a critic of) for not only preparing Pac well...but for also stating before the fight that Oscar no longer had it.

Match ups make fights, I just think people can't handle that Pacquiao is actually as good as he is.

Yes, Pac is good and I have mentioned that in different ocassions. But also, when ODLH beat Julio Cesar Chavez, was ODLH good? Of course! But also, was J.C. Chavez in his prime? Nope, he was way passed his prime. But still, ODLH beating the legendary JC Chavez looked great regardless of Chavez being old and passed his prime. Same thing with Pac. I can see him beating many big names out there that are in their primes. That will impress me more than his fight with and old passed-his-prime wasted ODLH. Even Pac and his team knew that ODLH was old and worn out at this stage of his career.
