    i think Pacs too small, even for faded DLH.

    I truly don't see how you can just discount Pac's chances, and stamp Dlh with an "if, cannot" comment...???. We have to respect you opinion, but these are two possible H.O.F fighters fighting, and anything can happen. This isn't scripted.

    If an HOF welterweight cannot stop an HOF superfeatherweight, he should hang his head in shame. That script will never change.

    I think even if DLH somehow looses to Pacman, given the circumstances, I'd still admire him for taking his preparations seriously...

    Yeah, it's obvious when they stand next to each other.

    If Manny Pacquiao wasn't as one dimensional and flawed as he is then he would have a chance..but he's going to get hit with a left hook, do a dance, and everybody will be laughing at the video for years to come like Judah vs Tyzu. It's a sad way to go out, but it's his decision.

    Banging at 135 is a hell of a lot different than banging at 147.

    That's a good way of putting this fight in perspective. You could argue Hoya has more power in one punch than Margarito at 147, and when you consider that, you fear for Manny's safety.

    As for a Margarito and Pacquiao matchup, it should just be illegal.

    Thank God Manny is getting paid a lot for this fight. :D Money makes people do crazy things like fight a guy who is way bigger than you. :-(

    Even Calderon will take this fight if DLH gives him the chance. Everyone will fight DLH for a guaranteed 10M dollars. Money talks.
