Farewell to the Golden Boy

Manny Pacquiao moved up to welterweight and dominated Oscar De La Hoya, with "The Golden Boy" quitting on his stool after round 8. Pacquiao weighed 142 lbs, retaining enough quickness and adding enough strength to completely outbox Oscar. Oscar seemed to be proving a point by weighing in at 145 lbs. but by all accounts he was not the physical specimen, or the fighter he once was. For Mark's Knuckle Sandwich, Pacquiao adds a quality win, complete with knockout. Pacquiao has now proven himself as the no. 1 fighter in the sport. Oscar has proven that his career at the top is over. Good bye, Roy Jones. Good bye, Oscar De La Hoya. And, for God's sake, on Dec. 20th, I hope we say a FINAL goodbye to Evander Holyfield.
