Fuck no! O'Grady was a pretty damn good fighter the night he beat Kenty (even if Kenty wasnt 100%) but still. Manny's speed, power, and angles COMPLETELY overwhelm him and early. Pac KO 4.
I cant see O'Grady being the least bit competitve with Pac. O'Grady was hardly the skill level of Marquez. Pac would hit him at will, and hit him often. I dont think cuts would be a factor. It'd be a clean KO, or TKO. O'Grady would be getting hit with shots he never sees coming. I mean, Pac gets overrated in MM against GREAT fighters. But he'd destroy a guy the level of O'Grady.
In fairness to O'Grady, I don;t think he was in any way properly prepared for Ganigan, his father was one fo the biggest, most intrusive morons in history. That said, the same weaknesses are there... a southpaw with a vicious overhand left... O'Grady would probably look alright for a couple of rounds before Pacquaio started getting to him with too many of those lefts... he's either knocking him flat outright, or he's dropping him a bunch and leaving him a bloody mess
I guess we'll have to agree to disagree because I don't recall O'Grady being a no-skills punching bag.
Definitely yes on the Ganigan fight. It kinda reminded me of the Witherspoon-Bonecrusher Smith II situation. Too much time spent on everything other than fighting. O'Grady would have had a much better career with better management. I don't think O'grady would win, but I don't see him going out like Hatton either.
Shawn totally non competitive here..I was never big on him anyway... a lillet better at broadcasting....gs
