    its a hard one to call imo.
    it can only go three ways.
    1...oscar goes hard after round one, fully head hunting pac, throwin lots of big shots, wins by stoppage,
    2...pacman wins, too fast, stays on his bike for 4 rounds, fights smart, gets in fast with single and double shot only, and then gets the **** outta there! do that for 12 rounds, pac wins on points.
    3rd way....... WAR!!!!! blood, cuts , knockdowns,fight of the year!

    If Oscar sticks his jab for 12 rounds, he wins easy. If he doesn't, he gives Pac a chance.

    Pacman doesn't fight defensive like Floyd. Pacman always comes to fight and if he comes to fight against Oscar he gets stopped without a doubt imo.

    I dont see a walkover. If Manny has a half decent chin at this weight, i think he can pull off a split decision.

    I agree.

    Oscar always abandons his jab at some stage through a fight, he has done it throughout his career.

    I have no idea who wins this fight but i am not writing Pac off, he's the underdog and im backing him.

    The problem is Oscar has everything to lose and nothing to gain, he beats Manny he won't get credit because Manny is a smaller and Oscar was expected to win, Oscar gets beaten by Manny and he'll end his career by losing to a smaller man who he should have beaten easily according to some. On the other hand Manny has nothing to lose and he knows it ...

    Also if Manny does beat Oscar it will be massive, if he does it he'll prove himself better than Floyd IMO.

    And that makes Manny very dangerous IMO.

    He has a real chance to take this fight the distance and win it on points, we all know Oscar isn't the best between rounds 7-12 ... Also regarding the size difference between the two, it's exageratted IMO.

    PAcquiao is gonna lose without a doubt. I don't see any surprises. To me he has always been overrated in the power and Skill department one word ordinary. Yeah, the pacman got speed. But he's reckless as a mofo. Once Oskie zeros in on that reckless Pac. Smack! lightsout. Oscar via KO and devastating KO.. I even reckon Pac will have probs with Juan Diaz, Amir Khan, Soto, Guzman plus Valero IMO. He is overrated.. it's unbelievable.
