    What makes the fight with Pacquiao so special when Oscar is so mediocre? (It is said the perception is everything)

    Its only special because of the balls Manny has to go up to welter but outside of that its a disgrace of a fight !!

    I dont think Mannys balls have much to do with it, I think Freddy Roach talked him into this fight, Made Manny beleive something that isnt so, I just hope Manny really does beleive becuase if he goes in thinking he is going to get knocked out he will, if doesnt think he can win he wont.

    I would love the upset no doubt, becuase if Hoya wins even though he states this isnt his last fight, you know his last will not be with Margarito.

    When they interviewed many he said he had to load his pockets with metal and coins in order to make the 106 limit. He said he walked around in his early figth career around 90-95 lbs :nut

    Who gives a **** where he started? Manny has never looked better than he did at 130, and at 135 he looked fabulous. His frame has filled out a lot since he was that weight drained kid in the low divisions. There is a fairly big natural weight difference between the two, but nowhere near as big as some try to say. People act as if Pacquiao is a blown-up flyweight, and Oscar is a natural middleweight. I'd say their respective peak weights are 130 and 147. Big difference indeed, but it happened plenty in the past. Henry Armstrong held the 126, 135 and 147 titles simultaneously. Weight difference never used to be an issue, and there is far too much focus on it today. Perhaps we should crucify Pacquiao for picking on a fossil when he's the best fighter in the world?

    This fight is going to be extremely competitive.

    So you MEAN PAC is now the favorite :patsch or you just don' want to give pac due credit in case he wins :D :lol: :good

    Oscar is a mediocre?! We all know he is not in his prime anymore in the first place if he is in his prime PAC has no business to be with him in the ring...NOW try some approach in your attempt to NOT to give pac credits in case he upsets DLH....

    Frankly my dear your style stinks?! Why don't you try another thread..:tired
