    I hope I'm wrong. But I see Pac being beaten up pretty badly, if not killed in the ring.
    As a long time DeLahoya fan, I'm severely disappointed in Oscar.

    I'll actually be pulling for Pac in this fight and hope he KO'S Oscar, but I just don't see the reality in that.
    I'm really hoping Pac doesn't get damaged to the point of no return in this fight.

    pac is a warrior. and i don't see him quitting even if he gets beaten up. i just hope that roach would throw the towel before he receives too much punishment.

    no way pac can win this. This could be really nasty. They shouldn't sanction fights between people with such natural size differences, its not safe. Why do you think we have weight divisions in the first place?

    I dont know how the hell DLH is going to make weight. The last time he was able to make 147 was in 99 against Trinidad, and he was struggling. Pac is going to have to put on a lot of muscle and who knows if he will be able to make 135 after this fight. Money is really F*cking this sport up!

    He could win it... DLH has slowed way down and Pac has power. I ****ing hate that Pac is fighting yet ANOTHER HOF'er waaaay past his prime. People treat him like he's the greatest thing since sliced bread and he has NEVER fought a HOF guy at the top of his game. NOT ONE.

    I'm so sick of it. Bring on Valero, Guzman, Soto, Linares.. hell bring on Barrios!

    Everyone is assuming Pac will get murdered, but it really depends on if Pac still has his speed in this fight. Stevie Forbes gave DLH a fight with his speed, and if Pac is just as fast, Pac might beat DLH. If Pac looks great and quick in sparring, put some money on Pac. You just might cash in.

    How the hell does he box a fighter who is bigger than, taller than him, has more power, still decent handspeed, and at the same time is a better boxer than he will ever be?

    The gameplan of "Im going to box a fighter who can box way better than I can who also has a strength, reach, size, height, power, experience advantage" is just bull****.

    There is just no way for Pacquiao to win this. Even with his vaunted offense, that just plays right into Oscars hand of just popping him in the face with his jab and every time Oscar flurries, all the punches are going to land. However good pacquiao has gotten, no one can argue against the fact that he still gets ALOT. Taking punches from DLH with your face is not going to win you the fight. Its going to get you layed out on the ****ing canvas.

    Whether Pac gets brutally Ko'd or not doesnt depend on him. Its all on DLH and if he wants to go for the Disgraceful KO. Lets remember at least Forbes fought at 140, Pac has never even touched 140. Add to the fact that Forbes chin is proven at the higher weight and has better Defensive. Forbes survived because of this. Pac doesnt have these abilities and will be KO when DLH wants to KO him

    Nah this a completely different fight and to even compare the two is laughable.


    PBF at least fought at the weights below where this one is taking place add had some success there. PBF is also a great defensive fighter and has the ability to outbox DLH.


    Pac can do none of this, add to the fact his fighting style is suited for exchanging. He cant out box hoya so where does that leave his gameplan? he can only do one thing and that is exchange. If and when DLH decides to press for the KO he will get it. And PAc can do nothing about it.
