Judging it from his own words, 6 days to go before the fight with Pacquiao, Oscar doesn't look very confident in his chances. Listen to the interview here... http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/video/videopage?videoId=3736203&categoryId=2491554&n8pe6c=1
I hope Asscar gets KTFO and retires. Hes making boxing look like wrestling or should I say lucha libre.
Are you serious, I think your joking but I'm not quite sure. Manny has been fighting all of the best fighters at or around his weight class for the last 5 years. Even if de la hoya is shot he's still way bigger and will be an extremely difficult challenge for someone as small as manny.
I disagree, it wasn't Pac's call. (Although he jumped right on it for the cash) De La Hoya is the one cherry picking here. He's fighting a guy that debut as a pro at 106 pounds!? Who made his mark, roughly, his entire career as a featherweight. Manny is a Lightweight, at the very least. I picked Oscar to win the fight because he will naturally be the bigger guy. Just like he did to Gatti, when Gatti moved up to 147 for the first time. Now granted, Gatti is no Pac. However, Oscar is looking pretty sickly trying to maintain that weight. I'm having doubts he can maintain his work rate past round 5. Which could be really bad for him, because Manny is a freak of nature with his insane stamina.
Hell yes, it was Pac's call. See, we all know Oscar is way past his best, and all he is doing now is racking in the BIG $$$ dollars for retirement. What anyone with a brain would do. But Pac the #1 P4P has much unfinished business at 130, and 135. Now, that said, I don't blame Pac for jumping on the oppurtunity like DLH did. They both jumped on it equally. But Pac has more responsability to fight than Oscar does. He has much unfinished business which I hope he takes care off after he gets KO by Oscar. Well, Mosley jumped up two divisions to fight Oscar and won. Oscar jumped up on more than one occassion to challenge the champ and won. But TRUE, the difference is Pac doesn't have Gatti's, Oscar's nor Mosley's chin. Manny doesn't have INSANE stamina. How do you know. He looked very exhausted against Morales when he lost, and he looked exhausted against Marquez both times. He has good stamina, not INSANE. INSANE is PBF, Mosley, Margarito, Hopkins etc.... About Oscar looking sickly, I don't see it. Show me, or explain how. He looks ripped, in shape, and better than he has in a long timie. Oscar is better built for 147. At 154 he was almost never as defined as he looks now.
I don't see how. The mainstream will eat this up good, and boxing needs as many mega fights it can get. Ruiz vs Jones Dempsey vs Willard Mosley vs DLH I Marciano vs Louis All mega fights, all with a significant size difference, and exciting. Sure, this is an over the hill Oscar, but like I said, the mainstream is eating it up, and if there's a KO, then it will only help the cause. And a KO is VERY likely.
:blabla :blabla :blabla :blabla :blabla :blabla Just get back to me WHEN A MEXICAN his size KO's PAC! GEE! I'm going to miss you!
