The Amazing Race: Pacquiao vs. JM Marquez for P4P supremacy

[TitoFan]

i'm sure you said oscar was shot before his fight with pac just like everybody else lol.

With the size difference, I didn't think it would matter. But I must admit to being totally blown away by how bad DLH looked during the fight. Or are you going to claim that was vintage DLH?

always easier to make our opinions on hindsight. but what if oscar made it a more competitive fight? hatton didn't want to fight oscar and marquez i'm sure wouldn't think of it before pac faced de la hoya. in short, nobody thought oskee was shot before the fight. roach had an inkling but you really couldn't tell until both pac and oscar got up on the ring and perform. i honestly think it was pac's speed and game plan coupled with oscar's having to go down in weight that resulted in what it was. under different circumstances and maybe a different opponent oscar imo would have had a better showing.

For the record, I was one of the ones crying "foul" BEFORE the fight, because I felt Oscar was going for the easy payday, picking on the naturally smaller man. To Pac's credit, he didn't know which Oscar was going to show up. And while Oscar DID turn out to be a shell of his former self, Pac himself put on a marvelous display of skill, speed, and power. Not to mention the fact that he won ME over by humiliating Oscar. But weight-drained or not (and I guess he probably was), that was a far cry from the old, vintage De La Hoya.

oscar hasn't been vintage in his last several fights and pac's team certainly took advantage.
