Would A Prime ODLH Have Beaten Manny Pacquiao ?

[ElTerribleMorales]

I don't think prime Oscar would beat prime Pacquiao.

Prime Pacquiao is better than the old, past-his-prime version of Whitaker that Oscar struggled with.

I'm not an Oscar hater, but he was losing big fights even at his peak.

Sorry i disagree totally, Pernell Whitaker is a totally different fighter to Manny Pacquiao. Yes there both Southpaw's but thats where the similarities end.

Pernell Whitaker is ridiculously slick and the problems he gave ODLH, Manny Pacquiao wouldn't give him. I mean Hector Camacho was a good Southpaw, and ODLH totally dominated him.

And in ODLH's close decision losses, he should of got the nod over both Mosley 2, Trinidad. And even in his close wins they wern't robberies, well the Felix Sturm one was borderline, but ODLH was out of shape and was no Middleweight.

ODLH was also 5'10 fast/strong, could Manny Pacquiao have handled the power ? just imagine if ODLH's famous left hook landed.

also dont forget that he also used to use the double jab constantly mix it up, 2 jabs up top or he'd jab to the head then to the body, IMO Pacquiao would have been lost in what to do and when to lunge in

Yup. Oscar at 135 would have defeated the Manny who fought at 135 and under, Manny wasn't yet technically proficient and over 135 I think Oscar's size and skill would have been too much.

But I really think the question is a bit unfair. Manny is, by today's standards, really a 135. Oscar peaked at 147.

I think the ODLH that was ROBBED against Tito would have beaten Pac. Not a dig at Pac as Naturally Oscar was quite a bit bigger!
