    we don't think he's unstoppable because we saw already a couple of times early in his career that he got stopped. unlike some of the hatton fans who made the odds for the floyd-ricky fight seemed like a pick-em fight.

    Pacfans are just as bad as Floydboys. Just like when there was buzz that Mayweather was thinking about a fight with Pavlik and then some Floyd ******s wanted to argue that Floyd would somehow "outbox" Pavlik (who is 6 inches taller and 30 pounds heavier and has an insane reach advantage and Power and strength etc etc etc) and would beat him comfortably by a UD.

    Just like the Pacfans that argue that Pac has the offense to beat Mayweathers defense.

    Frankly I get the feeling from both of them that Pacquiao or Floyd jr is really the only fighter they watch and they tend to not be very educated about boxing outside of that fighter.

    Talking **** with them is great though, their arguments for why their fighter would win tend to be pretty entertaining. If not completely idiotic

    I guess im one of the only few that think manny could pull an upset and take a decision... not saying it's going to happend, but dont be surprise if it does happend... manny is very active in the ring and the last time we saw DLH againt Stevie Forbes he was getting hit very easily... what was manny's weight on the diaz fight in the ring?

    Manny is WAY easier to hit than Forbes. How exactly do you suppose Manny is going to fight in and out and not get hit by Oscar? That has never been his style at all, he has never even remotely in his whole in any fight fought in an outboxing countering style.
    Manny walks his opponents down and has a blistering offense. At 147 his power wont be anything significant and he is perfectly suited to walking right into all of Oscars punches.

    Yea but i think floyd has a better chance of beating pavlik than manny does of beating ODLH. COz floyds too slippery, if pac cant hurt DLH hes ****ed. Floyds quick and can run for 12 rounds always moving, so unless pavlik knocked him out, he wouldnt win a UD. But i think pavlik would probably stop him

    And floyds a better fighter than Pac. Pacs seriously overrated

    forbes maybe close to manny in height but he is definitely the bigger man between the two... that's the reason why he can absorb more of oscar's punches effectively. I hope pac wins... i just don't how. :yep

    Floyd might have a better chance of beating Pavlik, I dont really see how, since I dont think he would want to risk coming within three feet of him (that jab just ****s Floyd up).

    Pac has always been overrated a bit. He has a great offense, but he still beatable. He is still a puncher-boxer, not boxer-puncher. Against a technician like Marquez, you could see how he could be beat.

    Like i said before, this fight is just a mismatch.

    i think you are OVERRATING pacquiao. he is an "overrated" fighter. lol :rofl

    seriously, i would be surprised if pacquiao pulled this one. much more surprised when he beat barrera then while moving up to 126. the size difference is just too much, imo.

    You think floyd has a chance of beating pavlik? :think


    Pac is overrated by his fans but he is also being underrated by his haters, so that makes it even. :good

    Pac seriously overrated? You may not be a fan but saying he is simply over rated just like that does not make any sense.

    Yes, I don't think he'll win over odhl but I STILL believe he is not over rated.

    I believe being over rated are fighting nobodies any yet he is still in the TOP P4P list! That's being OVER RATED!!!! it will be OT if I dwell into that!

    the shortest distance between two points is a line. a left straight would always connect first than a left hook. :yep
