    I think Oscar takes him out in a brutal way. If you think Pacquiao is gonna win please let me hear why. :think

    I heard some people say Pacquiao was gonna win with his speed but they dont realize Oscar has power to drop Pacquiao in any round. Pacquiao is basically fighting for the cash because I think he knows he can't win.

    Having 2 fist's and ability = a chance.
    Pacquiao has a very good shot at beating De La Hoya.

    Do I expect it, No.
    But does he have a chance, Yes.

    I want Oscar to win, and I think he will. I dont even hate PacMan, I just dislike Roach now!

    Pacquiao is one of my favorite fighters but I am being realistic.

    this fight reminds me of when odl fought hopkins...he could have won...but hopkins was to big and to comfortable at that weight. ODL is going to destroy him

    Oscar Wins This Fight Easy...probably By Ko Too..i Hope He Doesnt Retire After This..this Fight Means Nothing Though..pacquio Is Smaller And Though He Has More Footspeed..oscar Holds The Edge In Handspeed Especially At 147..oscar By Brutal Ko

    I think in a p4p style sense yes of course. But in reality I don't see him bringing the power he displayed at 130 up to 147. He did show the speed at 135 but it took him longer to beat Diaz into submission than it normally does at 130 against higher grade opponents, in particular prime Barrera and Marquez. This tells me "some" power is gone at 135 or at least a bigger guy could handle it better. Against Hoya who is slower than Pac but faster than Diaz and who will hit Pac harder than he has ever been hit before I can't see my boy Pac winning. It would be crazy if he did but comepletely against the odds. Hoya might not be as fast as he was but a slowed down Hoya is still faster than a lot of pro boxers in the sport right now.

    What sad about is De la hoya acts like it's gonna be a close fight.
