    Agree but PAC also gained from it.

    PAC called out Hoya and Margo also called out Hoya but Margo's win further pushed PAC as frontrunner for Hoya's last fight while it didn't help even a little for Margo's desire to land in the Hoya fight.

    I have the same thoughts. I'm a pac fan and I HATE to see him lose to Odlh!

    I agree with the thoughts of some/most esb fans! ODLH will win over pac (probably KO PAC in 5 rounds or less)

    But for some strange reason and pac wins. or wins convicingly. Upset of the decade?!

    It will silence all his critics

    But the thing was, Pac trained to make 135 and during fight night was he 147. He had speed and power at that time. Now if he trains and fights at 147, it would be a repeat of Hopkins-DLH. He wouldnt even bother to take training seriously as he is already at the agreed weight.

    CLE, how about a wager?

    If they fight and DLH makes 147, I will give you all my Vcash. If he weighs anything over, you owe me all your Vcash.

    Oscar can say he'll make 147 all he wants. That's talk. FACT is he hasn't made it since 2001.
    Remember Jose Luis Castillo? How many times did he say he would make weight to keep his payday intact? How many times did he come in overweight?
    James Toney has been talking for years about being at 220...then what happens when he gets on the scale?
    Seriously, CLE, fact and opinion are 2 different things.

    When was the last time ODLH fought at 147? 2001 to be exact against Arturo Gatti. For Oskie to weigh 147, he has to remove one of his arms. Even if he rehaydrates fast, his energy would be zapped.

    I am sure that Oskie will come in at 150 at weigh in and just suffer the consequence of penalty. then there is no way that Pac can win the fight if that happens. However, if ODLH comes in at 147, then it is everybodys ballgame. Pac can come in at 143 or 145 and would be stronger than the 135 version because he does not neeed to diet a day or two before weigh in.

    ODLH was slow already at 150 when he faced PBF, he would be slower trying to fit in at 147.
