    This fight does nothing for DLH's legacy. Even if he were to win, legacy down the toilet. Trinidad will always be better. He at least had the balls to fight someone bigger in Roy Jones.:yep

    :huh

    As it stands right now DLH's legacy is better than Tito's(this from a trinidad fan)......................but I agree Pac does nothing to enhance Dlh's legacy.

    Size is grossly overrated. Big beats small most of the time but the caps & rules of size limits has made it impossible for smaller guys to fight bigger guys therefore its been imprinted in our mindset that the smaller guy cant possiblly win. I think this fight has a very good chance of happening and im picking Pac by UD. Heard it here second fella's ;) (PacD was first of course).

    This is not about DLH's Legacy. His Legacy was Good already. This is about Pac's Legacy as one of the Greatest ever. DLH only has one fight left and want it to be the most Memorable one. The only DLH gaining here is the Money to be made in that fight and the Money He has to be made for Pac's Future fights against his own Fighter Hatton. With the DLH-Pac fight, Pac-Hatton Projected 1M PPV buys will increased at least 50%.

    Nope That's too big!! You guys are over exagerrating!! Can you find me any post I made where I said That??? I said in the past that Pac will fight hatton & PBF as the size difference in not too Big. The DLH one was concieved by Merchant & Dan rafael. I'm just supporting it.

    Oh GOD, someone tell me this is a joke.
    I do not see this fight taking place, but if it does ( contrary to what the pac nut huggers believe) prepare to see manny's ass whipped and possibly KO-ED.
    As to Floyd Mayweather, I think he thought twice about fighting Oscar again after having such a close fight with Oscar the first time around, one which many people feel Delahoya won.

    From what I saw in his last fight, Oscar is FAR from washed up.

    Correction : his last TWO fights.

    Pac also has a speed advantage against Wlad. Is it also Pac by lopsided UD?

    Who in the HELL gives a speed advantage to Pac in this fantasy fight?
    If anyone has the speed advantage, I'd think it would be Delahoya.

    Also the size advantage, the reach advantage, the height advantage.

    If a washed up ( OR NEARLY WASHED UP) Morales can techinically outpoint Pac in a show of pure boxing ability as he did in their first fight, Imagine what Oscar will do to him.

    Morales was on his way out in his trilogy with Pac and still managed a win.
    Delahoya crushes Pac in 7 rounds if it were ever to happen, which it won't.
