    Just to be competitive with a fighter who outweighs him by that much, not to mention someone who isn't exactly a chump, I think that's a huge achievement in itself. If Pac wins, no matter how, that's kind of mind-boggling.

    Because I can't see Pacquiao winning this, or being competitive at all. When Oscar lands that left hook...and he will.

    Pac is only a 2-1 underdog. You may be writing him off. But the sports bettors (AKA the people who put their $$$$ where their mouth is) aren't.


    If he is merely competitive w/ a 35 year old ODLH, it won't do much for his legacy. He needs to dominate oscar or KO oscar...

    If he decisively beats them. Not beat them the way he beat/drawed JMM 2x.

    If he can beat both floyd and oscar he has to go damn high, easy top 10 i think if he can beat thereboth where he really is at a massive stylistic disadvantage for both fights

    Cry baby lol. All PAc has to do is beat someone in their prime, and stop looking for money fights. People are sick of seeing him fight inferior comp, and old men with the talent he has. Get off of Pac's balls lol.

    It will be an achievement for sure...Not as big as beating p4p#3 Barrera at the time. But its up there..the size advantage is just too much

    they just showed them next to each other again..Pac might go to sleep in this one

    Nothing.

    None of them will get credit for this bogus fight.

    DLH is a retired business man and he cannot for the life of him even enter the ring with anyone his own size these days. So nothing in it for Pac.

    Pac is much smaller and even a retired businessman should be able to be even with Pac. So if Oscar wins there is also not much in it.

    Just a bogus event.

    ______________________

    Some people are talking about Pac beating Mayweather. Now that is a whole different ball-game. If Pac beats a Mayweather after Floyd has had at least one tune-up then that would be Pac's best win - even better than the Barrera win.

    Not as big as MAB?:huh

    Imo this DLH fight is Pac's biggest task to date......how the hell can a Pac win against DLH not rank higher than a MAB win?

    You make this ridiculous statement chimba, and then you contradict yourself by saying "Pac might go to sleep in this one!"

    DLH might not be anywhere close to prime, but let me tell you what this fight would signify to fighter like Pac who's fought at the very low weight classes.......


    It would be Huge!!!

    A win over DLH would be much bigger than any legit win that Pac could have with his master JMM!:D ;)

    Divac my man...its the perception of this fight...It is a harder task but any hardcore fans would be hard pressed to put this over the first MAB fight.

    Most think that this is a circus fight to begin with...If DLH loses, you will hear all the plausible reeasons why he lost...it will be dissected for months here...how Pac really was a match for DLH at this stage.

    I doubt very much that If Pac decisions DLH that people would be like Ohh **** Pac beat DLH its crazy this guy is unbelievable.. as was the case after the first MAB fight.
