uhh whats your point? he did beat an old delahoya
I am not saying he didn't.
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.
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? 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.
