I am disapointed that he chose manny but its far from the mismatch of boxing history Henry Armstorng jumped from feather to welterweight succesully mickey walker made a couple of great jumps Bob Fitzimoons did look at sam longford
Don't forget Sugar Ray Robinson. A natural welterweight who took many middle and light-heavies to school.
I don't understand why people are crying about the fight anyhow. De La Hoya has already fought the best of his era, and finally we're getting the P4P one proving his place and taking on the toughes challenges. The fight will be dramatic in some shape or form, and the event itself will be spectacular. I'm excited.
Oscar's trying to make it a regular thing. Pac's good, but not as good as the guys you've brought up. We don't know if he could beat Diaz, Campbell, Casamayor, Guzman, or Valero. He wasn't exactly that convincing against Marquez either.
I know its not as big, but Ezzard Charles fought for the heavyweight title against Joe Louis weighing 184lbs when Louis weighed 218
