    Have you heard about the farewell fight of the Golden Boy against the 2nd-ranked P4P boxer in December? Many think this is not going to materialize because of its big gap between the two. ODLH's size is too much for the Pacman. However, there are some boxing experts who say that ODLH is beatable because Paquiao has the speed and power of a young and hungry boxer.

    If this fight will actually happen, I think ODLH will win by KO or a unanimous decision for Paquiao.

    Floyd did that with ease,took away Hoya's jab in the process and the so called hook.From that day Hoya has never been the same just like all Floyd's victims.Now the likes of Cotto and Manny can do what they want with hoya.

    I have to agree with you on this one.The fight with Manny will go ahead because Oscar at this point doesnt want Margaritto.What surprises me is noone is calling Williams including margaritto who claims everyone 'fears him'

    I said earlier that Oscar by KO -- this is 75% or higher sure. And Pacman via unanimous decision -- 25%. The reason why ODLH is 75% sure of knocking out Pacman is obvious. He is the much bigger fighter and has a much much heavier punches. On the other hand, if it goes to the judges' scorecards Manny's speed and sharp punches will make him a UD victor -- but this is going to happen with a token 25% or less probability.
