    Pac's fans will say he has little to no chances. They are living in a fantasy world. When Pac beats Dlh, I don't want any of you to forget what I wrote. These Pac fans will call Pac a legend lol. Pac is a great fighter. But I'm going to exlax on any Pac fan who utters the garbage. Pac is pfp the best in the world in your eyes, and you give him zilch, 5 and 10% chance to beat a 35 year old Dlh coming down in weight lol... Comical!

    Dude, what's with you?

    You hear Pac fans hype him up, you call them nuthuggers.

    You hear them underestimate his chances to win against ODLH, and you still hate.

    What do you want them to say?

    I think his chances are around 25%, maybe a bit higher.

    I'm rooting for him, but not expecting him to win. It'd be great though, if he pulls it off.

    Pac has been rocked by 106 pounders, 112 pounders, 122 pounders, featherweights, superfeatherweights and lightweights. He's not a granite jawed fighter. I rate his jaw as average for 122, a shade below average for the 126-130 and especially for the 135 weight class. He's just a super aggressive fighter that his offense becomes his defense, and many opponents find it hard to test his chin for 12 full rounds.

    ODLH still has got a lethal left hook. I mean a crazy dude like Mayorga, who let his opponents get free shots at his jaw, and didnt go down, was smashed by an ODLH left hook. And he's a naturally bigger man, compared to Pacquiao.

    I think you are off with how I perceive PAc's fans. Pac is the best fighter pfp according to Ring mag...and his fans, and these fanatics only give him little to no chance against a 35 year old Dlh??? Does the math add up? :nut

    He's got an adequate chin. Not glassjawed, just adequate for the elite level.

    Not world class, ATG level chin.

    His aggressive, quick punching fighting style and an improved defense "hides" his chin from a lot of damage.

    You'll never see him fight somebody toe to toe a whole lot. He hits and moves. He knows he doesnt have the sturdiest chin in the world.

    pac's chin is better than jmm's though. pac took erik's, mab's and jmm's best punches w/o going down once.

    This is flawed logic. And for the record, you can't hide your chin in boxing. Pac was only shook by Marquez. The big 3 landed their best punch on Pac, and he was only shook by those guys, and never seriously hurt.
