When was the last time pac beat someone who was coming off a dominant win? It seems like alot of his wins come after his opponent has had a less then impressive showing in their last fight or have lost. Dela hoyas last win was against forbes and he didnt exactly go and knock forbes out, outboxed him for 12 rounds but it wasnt an awesome jaw dropping performance.To make matters worse Dela Hoya didnt just fight terrible, he looked terrible. It was quite obvious he was weight drained and i dont think anyone can dispute that. Ricky Hatton looked less then impressive against Malignaggi and had bad moments against a light hitting Lazcano. Diaz had a majority decision win against montano and a close fight against Morales and was never going to beat pac. Morales looked terrible against zaheem and even gets beaten and pac destroys him afterwards.
All of these wins are the ones he has looked nothing short of awesome in. These are the wins that had all pac fans screaming that we had a new god
Now before someone jumps up and calls me a hater, i have nothing against pac. He is without a doubt an awesome fighter. I have picked against him in his last 2 fights, was i sad he won? No. I thought he would lose, not hoped he would lose. But these are the obvious observations. You want to know why hes having trouble getting credit, these are the reasons. You drain a guy until he can barely throw a punch, of course he isnt going to put up a good fight. Hatton was always going to get sparked it was just a matter of when. I thought his chin would hold and i thought if he could fight smart and wear him down but I was wrong especially with hatton rushing in the way he did.
So if we had of known dela hoya would be extremely weight drained before the fight, if it was known 100% that he would be weight drained before the fight...would it of been that big of a shock to us all that pac would pepper him with fast combos all night until it was stopped? If we had of known hattons punch resistance was not all that great these days before the fight, would we of been shocked by such a knock out? The answer is no! Because we all knew pac had the tools to beat these guys, just the right factors would have to be there for to happen.
