    (1). An unranked 46-year old legend fighting a 7foot tall champion of the world
    OR
    (2). A fading legend (DLH) fighting a fighter who started their career at 106lbs and has had 1 fight at 135 lbs


    I believe DLH-Pac is more of an embarassment and actually give Holyfield a better chance than Manny Pac to actually win his fight.
    IMO, both are black eyes for the sport, but back to the question?:deal

    I don't know about you, but Pac-Dlh is a legit fight. Don't overrate Pac if he beats Dlh. I see the set up from PAc fans already. He won't be a legend if he beats Dlh.

    DLH hasn't made that 147lbs weight division in 8 YEARS, and Manny has had 1 fight at 135lbs. I also criticized Oscar for "picking" on little guys, but AT LEAST Shane Mosley and Floyd Mayweather had been dominant at 135 lbs.........Manny has had 1 fight at 135 and is moving up 12 MORE lbs.:deal

    Even if Manny wins (and I think he may), it would speak more to how badly Oscar has faded and problems with his stamina which will be attributed to him fluctuating to get down in weight. This fight is a farce and tells NOTHING about how these 2 really match up...

    I agree with that...PBF same thing..he wins and gets no credit...even though he was far smaller and th ring was small and they used ODH approved gloves...DLH is becoming a joke which is sad cuz Pac should get mad props if he wins

    How is it legit...fact 1 fight at 135...fact ODH fought hopkins at 160??? Pac could prob make 126...odh will suffer to make 147...that is not legit? not even close...ODH should be fighting AM PW Cotto...and he will still lose...and even if he wins he is gonna get **** on

    Why cry about the weight? in general..you know what I'm saying?
    I mean, They both agreed to it, The fight is happening regardless....
    Manny is a big boy he know's what he is doing.

    (This is what is truley wrong with Fighting now, too many So-called fighter's afraid of stepping up comp & testing themself, Boxer's should learn a lesson from Pacquiao)

    The fight is an exciting/fascinating fight regardless. Dlh made 147 for the Forbes fight right...correct me if I'm wrong. I know this isn't the best version of Dlh...far from it. Pac is not facing a prime WW so he can put on muscle and feel good about the weight. Pac not fighting at 140 won't hurt him. Manny has had months to gain muscle. Dlh has never picked on little guys. Antonio Margarito fans who think Dlh should've fought their charge say that. This is a fascinating fight. It won't make Pac great, but it is still a decent win. I'm waiting for Pac-Antonio Margarito lol.

    You'll come around when it's time to order the fight:lol:. This fight is not a farce by any means. Valuev-Holyfield is a farce.

    Valuev-Holyfield is just tragic. it's sad valuev and his camp would even consider this move as an OPTIONAL defense. Beating up on a fighter who has been shot for nearly a decade proves nothing but the Giant is indeed a paper champion. I still doubt the validity of this fight though...and Holyfield is completely delusional. maybe he just needs to fight wlad and get a terrible beating so he'll just stop otherwise he will keep absorbing cumulative punishment which is probably worse.

    ODLH is a cut throat businessman and saw another chance to cash in big and minimize risk. Can't really blame the guy. He gets a huge payday and won't take a beating. Still a '*****' move though when u consider Margarito or even Cotto is out there :yep
