    Let's think about this....

    he outweighed Ruiz (who is not exactly a tyson or tua or any threat, for that matter) by 25%!!!!!!!!!!!!, only to barely eek out a decision.

    Now when you consider that, consider the outcry on fight night when Oscar will probably weight 160lbs, while manny will weigh 147. That's only a 10% difference. An example of a 25% weight discrepancy would be Oscar DLH vs. Gerry Penalosa!!!

    There's no excuse for not pulverizing and underwhelming a man who is only 3/4 of your size.

    Of course he's not on the p4p BEST list. I mean he should be atop the p4p WORST list, at least in the realm of current beltholders.

    Did you see the fight? He won a UD. How is that "barely" eeking out anything.

    Worst.Thread.Ever.

    The weight disparity doesn't matter when it's both big guys going up again one another, in the example of De La Hoya vs Pacquiao it's quite a big guy against a little guy.

    The weight also slows him down in case you didn't notice.

    The fact is if he was 3/4 the size he wouldn't be the same fighter.

    I like to see him fight once in a while.

    It's shocking to see big, burly heavyweights become pipsqueaks when standing beside him.

    I like the weight and height disparity.

    It kinda sucks watching after about the 8th round, though, especially if no one's close to getting KO'd.

    The novelty wears off after a few rounds.

    H4P? :D Reminds me of an 'experiment' done once to see what it would be like to sit a 500 pound guy in a hocky goal. Yeah, it works, kinda, except against skilled players since the 500 pound lump is pretty imobile.

    Toe 2 toe, he´s better than Ruiz, for all that´s worth (not that much)

    But simply because he´s the biggest fighter out there, not yet the best, it´s a little bit unfair to say he´s the worst fighter out there pound 4 pound.

    Well, P4P is pretty unfair to begin with. A guy like Vauev is not going to be able to fight like a Pac, or vice versa.

    Worst P4P what?

    If you mean worst P4P fighter out there, complete nonsense. I can think of some truly dreadful fighters still going.
