Do you know what it means to have a boxer passed his prime? Sure, Pac is good and all but he beat an old ODLH. What looks good here is that he beat, well, OSCAR DE LA HOYA and not "an old and passed his prime" ODLH. We have seen other legends do the same mistake of staying in the ring longer then they should only to have a young prospect beat them and look great regardless of that legend being old, worned out, passed his prime.
Pac seems to be going through the right path. We will see more exciting fights. There are lots of big names out there that are young and IN THEIR PRIME. Looking forward to those fights.
uhh whats your point? he did beat an old delahoya, do you get the fact that a former featherweight just beat a former middleweight and showed he had all his attributes with him in this division 147? The name delahoya is given already. What you need to get is a guy who started his career at 106 looked just as fast jsut as strong and isn't being slown down by addition weight at WELTERWEIGHT. Quit trying to stress oscar is past his prime and is old. Your predictable, pac didn't just beat dela hoya he look just as awesome at 147 and that is the most impressive part.
I agree with Brucelee. Pac finished Oscar, not Mayweather.
"Floyd needs to inject Xylocaine into his balls to gain the courage to fight Pacquiao."
- and I quote from some random guy on the internet
I am not saying he didn't.uhh whats your point? he did beat an old delahoya
Just tell me something, was ODLH young and in his prime? When ODLH beat Chavez, was Chavez young and in his prime? When Mike Tyson fought Kevin McNight, was Tyson in his prime? Same thing with Ali vs Berbick, Leonard vs Camacho, and the list goes on. Imagine if all those guys faced the big names 5 years earlier?Quit trying to stress oscar is past his prime and is old. Your predictable, pac didn't just beat dela hoya he look just as awesome at 147 and that is the most impressive part.Did you see the De La Hoya vs Pac 24/7 thing? Even Pac and Team Pac knew Oscar was old, worned-out, passed his prime, etc. Freddy Roach mentioned that more than a couple of times during interviews and what not. Did Pac fans suddenly missed that part? Then again, I am not surprised after seeing how Pac fans got totally excited when he beat a guy like Diaz. What I can tell you is that Pac faced a Marquez in his prime that beat him twice already. There are bunch of other young guys in their prime that Pac could face along the road. I am looking forward to those more than seeing Pac face old worned-out fighters and I can assure you boxing fans prefer the same.
Beating a BIG NAME even if he's out of his prime, worned-out, old, etc. Simply builds lot of excitement and it works as a great resume builder.
Listen people keep saying how pacman started at 106 but lest not for get he was 16 years old not a full grown man yet he is about the same size as Mayweather is i mean come on you are much bigger then you were at 16. When Oscar and Mayweather were at 130 they were like in early 20s and that still was not the size they should of been at i think people forget that when they bring up the weight classes and how many people move up look at the age it while show if the weight seems light they were young and that is the reason they were at that weight and nothing more.
