    Are you serious??

    There is a MAJOR difference between the Oscar that fought Floyd........and the shell that we watched last night.

    No comparison. At his age....you just cannot fight once a year and expect to retain the same skill set, ferocity and competitive level.

    Couple that with the fact that Oscar didn't take Manny seriously at all.


    I guarantee you that if there was a rematch 4 or 5 months from now...it would be a very different fight, regardless of the outcome.

    So, Floyd beat a less-shot version of de la hoya, at a comfortable weight for de la.

    and his legacy took a beating?

    Don't get me wrong, kudos to pacquiao, but if de la hoya had been a sitting duck against floyd, it would've been easier for him. Hoya was gunshy on saturday.

    They were the exact same. DLH looked like a zombie against Floyd, but he stop Floyd with his jab. Manny shut DLH down.

    gunshy? He left the guns in training camp....he left his getaway car there also...legs were gone..everything he threw a right hand..the 2-3 times he did..he was off balance....he didn't even try with the jab...

    It wasn't the same version that fought Mayweather....

    I don't get it. Are you guys saying he didn't like Floyd? Never was Floyd a "midget" :dunno:

    That is the dumbest thing I have seen in quite some time saying he is 106 still.

    Ignoring knowledge and indulging in echolocation.
    :nono: Sure a good midget can beat a scrub middleweight,.. Im pretty sure Margarito could beat a scrub heavyweight too,.. .. but when it comes to the elite level,... midgets must stay in thier place,...I am alarmed at the size of Pacquioa actually, I dont know what the fuck is going on with these 'weight division' categories, but they dont really work,.. Manny is larger than I ever thought he was,..he's as big as Hatton, yet he's been fighting at featherweight and below..

    But you know,..these days,... with incompetant referees who will refuse to enforce the rules,... it is very possible for somebody like say?... Fraud Mayweather,.. to pot, run, backtwist, and hold his way over noteable heavyweights to a decision victory, I wouldnt be suprised in the slightest.

    I obviously disagree with anything that this assclown Ike says BUT, I think after the Pacquiao victory, this is a legitimate fight.

    I would love to see it.

    i think what happened is that Pacquoi used to be a peasant living on a bowl of rice a day, and occasionally a full meal here when one of his friends sold a kidney on the black market there

    but once he started earning dollars he could eat the amount of food that a regular person eats, and has only now reached his natural size
