Manny Pacquiao has now proven that he can be effective at 147 pounds with a destruction of Oscar De La Hoya. Throw out the fact that Oscar is beyond his better days and may have not been the same ?Golden Boy? he was even a year ago. He is still a very strong and smart fighter, but it wasn?t enough to keep the pit bull that Manny is away. This is the first time that De La Hoya has lost in definitive fashion. Bernard Hopkins did land a body shot on Oscar, but he didn?t give him a beating like he received against Manny.
