    That doesn't mean much really.
    In 1993 Oscar weighed in at 131, Castillejo weight 155 1/2.

    This is a common sense thing and some people clearly aren't using any of it.

    Yeah, and in '93 Oscar was also like 20. People tend to fill out a bit from their late teens/early 20's. Not only that but Oscar was 5'11; lots of frame to fill out on. Not quite as much with Manny.

    Stupid. Pac just moved up to 135 and he's killing himself to make it? Morales became too big for LW too, hardly means he was a WW or even MW. Morales best natural weight still was 122 & 126.

    What would that have to do with the fact that he is obviously much bigger now... and has not only shown that he has adapted great to his new weight... but that he carried his speed, power, stamina, and has actually became a better fighter while moving up? Pac weighed 147 in his last fight, and I don't think that he has ever looked better. Most likely due to the fact that Roach and Pac have both stated that Manny was killing himself to even make 135.

    When people mature, they gain weight. It happened with Oscar, and Pac.


    Does this look like a person who is fighting well out of their natural weight?

    What is stupid about it? It was Pac and Freddie who stated this fact. I guess you know more about Pac, than Pac.

    I feel sorry for all you f**ks who are buying into this hype. Look at the size difference. DLH is going to carry PacMan to make it seem as if this is a competitive fight and all you suckers will swallow hook, line, and sinker. I'm Mexican, I'm rooting for PacMan, and I wish PacMan would break DLH's greedy, golden nose, but it is not going to happen. Unfortunately it will be DLH by KO in maybe the 10th. Then he will run around the ring acting as if he just defeated a prime Mike Tyson. He'll also say how he avenged all the Mexican's defeats by beating PacMan. P.S. I just love how DLH is barefoot and PacMan is wearing 1" tennis shoes to make him appear taller. Nice photo work, DLH, except you forgot to crop the pic at the knees.

    youre a moron if you think this pic is accurate
    dlh is 5 foot 10 1/2
    pac is barley 5 foot 6 ( some say 5 foot 5 1/2)

    unless many grew 4 inches as he put on pounds, then i guess you believe everything that a picture shows

    People keep saying this.... but outside of height, and Oscar being broader in the shoulders, nobody can explain themselves. They are obviously only 3 pounds apart at the weigh in. Manny has a bigger head, deeper chest, MUCH thicker legs, arms are more dense with muscle.... so basically, everyone is comparing them only on a few inches in height. Manny isn't a tall fighter, Oscar is... Oscar is also a very thin fighter with very small bone structure. Small hands, feet, ect... Oscar has always been broad at the shoulders, and usually more broad than his opponents, that is just the way he is built. Either way... they are only 3 pounds apart in those photos. People are kidding themselves.

    Yes they are......This guy makes a great point....i didn't think about it this way. But it not as even as he says. Its close though. In the end Oscar should win....a guy that has taken hard shots from heavier fighters.

    I just love the hatred....If you don't like it you should just go somewhere where nobody is watching the fight.....why don't you go to the ballet or a play.
    All us "Mexicans" fight fans are going to watch this. I love Pac and Odlh so if they go toe to toe you can't say they carried the fight. If they do then i owe you an apology.
