    That's because this fight isn't the "freak show" like most of the morons on this site would like to pretend.

    Agreed.

    Pacquiao still loses by knockout, however.

    Between 5-7.

    If Pacquiao makes this competitive for longer than 4 rounds, not only am I wrong, but it's quite an accomplishment. This fight isn't easy to predict just because Oscar has a size advantage but he has an advantage in talent also.

    No, because it is usual to see a fighter in the lower weight classes fight 12 pounds higher than he has ever done before (skipping a weight division) against a a man who has fought at 13 pounds higher than the fight night weight. Not to mention the fact that De La Hoya is about 5 inches taller and being a six weight word champion (if ageing) himself hardly a mug.

    So excuse me for saying the fight is a bit of a joke, I'm probably just another one of the morons that you speak about above!

    The fight is not a joke but Oscar will probably win. The question I have is the fast hands and southpaw stance of Pac. I could see Pacman hitting Oscar with those fast hands and busting up his face and stopping him around round 8, but that would be a super effort. If Oscar losses to Pacman he has to say goodbye to his legacy.
