    Considering that Pac and Roach have both admitted that he was killing himself even to make 135, which explains why he gained 12 pounds after that weigh in and weighed 147 on fight night. Oscar has clearly trained hard and came in well under the welter weight limit. Oscar will only be about 151 max come fight night, as that is the absolute most that he has weighed in the last few weeks. He wouldn't be able to put on any more weight than that overnight. Pac will probably weigh around 147-149.

    How will Pac now handle fighting a man that is his own size? I know that a lot of you people on here are misguided into believing that this is such a huge size difference just because Oscar is taller, and usually fights a higher weight. However, it is obvious that Oscar has been fighting above his best fighting weights, and never had to train in order to make weight there.... and manny has just been killing himself to fight in the lower weights. Now, Manny moves up and fights at his natural fighting weight, and Oscar moves down and fights in his.

    This is an even match-up in size. Oscar is taller, broader in the shoulders... Manny has much thicker legs.

    How will Pac hold up against someone his own size?

    I see that most of you are either brainwashed, or blinded with hate.

    Its easy to see they are not the same size. Just look at Oscars shoulders, chest. Its like saying Oscar is the same size as Hopkins because they weighted almost the same at the weight in.

    Oscar has broader shoulders... Manny has a deeper chest. How about their legs? Manny's legs are MUCH thicker than Oscar's. Everyone is basing this notion off of a few inches in height. That is like pretending like Corrales and Paul Williams have unfair advantages because of their height. There is advantages to being the shorter guy too... especially when you have Pac's style. Pac being shorter, and left handed make it much harder for Oscar to land his two best weapons, his left hook and his jab.

    Dont tell this to your fellow Oscarsexuals, they will have their panties all bunched up. Oscar had some problems landing against Forbes. He will have some landing tonite, because of the height difference..,and if those heads come together!!!:smoke

    OMG... how will Pac even reach Oscar's face? It's just too much to overcome!!:-(

    People want to point out that Manny had shoes on... so? Were they 3 inch high heels? Shane Mosley had shoes on too... look at him next to Pac.

    (LOL) Havent you ever been in a real fight? A taller opponent isnt that tough to hit, all you have to do is angle the punch correctly. Forbes hit your Golden Boyfriend for 12 rounds, and he isnt much taller than Pacman.

    Pacman even has larger bone structure. Oscar has small hands and feet.... Pac's legs are much bigger.... Pac's head is bigger...Pac's arms are more dense... Oscar is not a big guy. They are going to be the same size tonight. I am talking overall size, not just height.

    You don't catch on too fast do you? That is what I was saying. People are acting like this is a mis-match because of Oscar's height... it definitely isn't. The height difference between the two actually suit Pac more than Oscar. Pac loves to shoot in with those straight lefts. He will be in a perfect position to get them right up under Oscar's chin. Oscar's best weapons are his jab and left hook... both are very tough to land effectively against a southpaw. The best weapon against Pac would be a great right hand, which people say that Oscar's doesn't have. Throw in the inactivty of Oscar and his age... and the fact that Manny is at his peak and #1 pd 4 pd in the world? People acting like this fight is some sort of freakshow are off their rockers. This fight is going to be anything but easy. Hopefully Oscar trained his ass off, and lets his hands go because he is going to have to be on the top of his game tonight.
