Chavez, Whitaker, Quartey, Vargas, Trinidad, Hopkins, Gatti, Mayweather, and Pacquiao were the ones dictated to by Oscar in negotiations, no one ever dictated anything to Oscar. As I've said before that is blatantly dishonest to suggest he was forced by Pacquiao to fight at 147 for a big payday.
I hope you are not talking about me on this one.
Oscar was the bully against Pacquiao, and way too overconfident. He made a huge mistake, IMO, taking that fight with Pacquiao.
Especially as I previously stated, he was in the low 40's during the camp and actually tried to put on the weight during the last week or two.
I will never forget Oscar saying during the 24/7 ,"There will be a knockout"
Completely backfired on him.
