Yes, I did watch that fight. I think he went to the extreme to show and give the fans everything they want to see. I believed Oscar should have waited for Manny to move up. Oscar's ambition was very high and he proved it to be a winner.

I mean bro if he fought Morales, Barrera, DLH, SSM, Pacquiao, etc in their primes, and beat them all then I would absolutely have him up in the top 3. And I understand that wasn't possible for all of them, so don't jump on me. A 0 means absolutely nothing to me. Marciano has one too. I have him nowhere near the top either. I watched Zab Judah hive Mayweather some serious issues for a good part of that fight. And Judah was like a poor mans Mosley Put MM in the 90s, at welter, in everyone's prime and he loses, maybe more than once. Put him in tbe 80s and he'd be in serious trouble imo. At lightweight and welter. Those were 15 round fighters that fought often. Big difference. Those 80s guys would have figured him out pretty quickly imo. Mayweather the lightweight. One of the bets I've ever seen. Mayweather the welter. Great business man and defensive wizard. Mayweather ran through guys at lightweight. Pacquiao did it in many divisions. Too very different fighters yes, but Mayweather was absolutely dominating guys at lightweight. Completely different fighter. Pacquiao same thing. Wouldn't be as easy for him at all. But considering how he ran through the divisions like he did. And he's smaller and started smaller. And imo is the literal definition of a P4P fighter. I have him higher. And I think in his prime Mayweather gets caught by him. Mayweather opened up more in his prime and that only helps pacquiao. Mayweather landed the least amount of punches in his career against Pacquiao. And out of prime, 5'5", pacquiao coming foward all night. I think they both looked bad and it was a disgrace. Even saying that, I saw pacquiao barely touch him on the end of a left punch and Mayweather go backwards. Wasn't even a good punch. A prime Pacquiao was a fucking machine. Anyway getting off topic. Both fought in good eras. But not prime eras. So I can't put either at 1-5. Just can't. I'd have Pacquiao at 14 right now, and Mayweather 15-16 range.

[@rspcoach619]

Oscar is in denial about getting hurt. The reason he can't pull the trigger was that he got hurt preventing him from exchanging with a much smaller Pacquiao coming from the lightweight class. Pain and fear of getting KO'd is a motivator to stop fighting though he's in the ring in a fight.

[@Ryenobal]

"I never felt pain." That body shot KO by Hopkins looked painful. De La Hoya was writhing in agony.

[@raimonta6039]

Yeajh he just mean that there was no significant single shot heavy enough that manny had thrown at him.Let us remember that manny was the lighter puncher between the two .Dela joya can absorb punches from a 164 pounder and Manny was just a natural 135 pounder balooned to 154 at that fight. He just quit because of Manny's speed and unrelentless combos. The feeling is like you are bitten by a fire ant which does not really hurt that much as compared to when you are hit by a stone. Unfortunately those fire ants seems to number a thousand...and oscar was tied to a tree.Who would not wanted to quit if you are in his position?
