    NALLEGE,

    Again, you are not thinking!

    Valero's manager DECLINED to fight Pac I think after seeing PAC demolished Diaz.

    Funny, you are obviously close to being a PAC hater and you give him 75% chance of winning!?

    I'm a die hard PAC fan but I'm a LOGICAL thinker. I only give him MAX of 20% chance of winning but I would not be surprised if DLH ko'S my boy too..

    6 INCHES in reach advantage
    4 inches in height advantage

    DLH already absord how it feels to be punched by 160lbs boxer
    PAC experienced the punch of a 135lbs boxer once


    Boxing greats such as SRL and RJJ gave PAC slim chance of winning. Funny how most of your thread belittle PAC's wins/achievements?

    So why DO YOU give PAC 75% chance of winning?!

    Simple...

    TAKING AWAY possilbe CREDIT for PAC in the event strange things happen like PAC winning the fight! :hi:

    If pac can get through to round 6 relatively unscathed he has a great chance because oscar through is last few fights is stanima hasn't been to great.

    Small chance like his size the only plus in his favor is the age.

    I am leaning of betting on Pac surviving past six rounds then. By the way what are the odds on this fight? If it's like 7-1 I'll throw some decent money on Pac.

    Poor poll options.

    I'd go with 25% chance if there were an option for it. Oscar should be the heavy favourite, but there are many examples of fighters aging 'overnight', and Pacquiao is still in his prime. Anything can happen, it's just somewhat unlikely.

    good enough chance when you consider the oscar has to make 147, that kind of ****'ll take a toll on your body come fight night....but at the same time, it'll make him alot sharper then he's been for years

    i think his chances of winning are alot better then people realize, can pac hurt DLH?, probably not....

    but boxing isn't just about hurting your opponent, if he decides to take a Calz aproach or Juan Diaz approach, and try to win on speed and workrate, he could do it

    Pac has a big heart and fast hands......and that might be enough to pull it off

    but at the same time, Oscar is Oscar.......even with his best years behind him he's dangerous

    so he could do away with him with ease, or not......

    this isn't your average fight so it's hard to predict it.......the normal "size wins fights" doesn't necessarily apply in this situation when one fighter is the p4p #1 fighter in the world, in his prime and fights because he loves to fight

    then the other fighter is over the hill great who fights because he loves money

    so the way i see it, it could be an upset or it could be an expected blowout....to hard to call, too many variables here......we haven't seen Oscar fight at 147 in about 7 years

    and Pacs never fought above 135, and he only did that once.....so the real question is who be affected by the weight the hardest, that'll determine the fight imo....

    btw, i've seen pics of Pac's training camp.....and he looks good right now (no homo).....

    has anyone seen Oscar lately?

    40-60 chance for Pacquiao depends on how his chin will hold up.

    From those choices I would lean towards no chance. Too big, strong, skilled. Pac hasn't felt a left hook like Dela Hoya's. As much as I dislike Dela Hoya, I don't see how Pac can win this other than the golden boy being weight drained and tiring out. 10-15% at most.

    voted Draw since i dont think he has a 50-50 or 75 percent chance of winning this...at the same time i do think he has a chance, but a very slim one at that.
    20% is good enough hope that he pulls thru.

    After thorough analysis of the tale of this fight, I finally come to a conclusion that if DLH can't beat Pac, then Pac will beat DLH if it doesn't end up in a draw.
