    Spent allota time with Manny, JP; he's exactly my height, 5-7 'n' a half, but I don't think it negates your theory. Although, "fighting low" runs against his grain. Tough to break the habit of being stand-up and squaring-up to punch when you've had the success he has.

    You're probably at least an inch shorter than you think you are; most guys are. Manny is 5'6 tops imo.

    Someone has noticed. I have repeatedly said since the news of this fight being made that DLH will KnockOut Pacquaio and that this entire fight is nothing but a moneymaking farce that will not be competitive in the slightest

    I think de la Hoya will win in a very one-sided fight but I'm starting to doubt the KO

    Oscar's 45 (Uppercut) Degree money shot!!
    Is perfect for Manny's Southpaw, head down lunging style.

    I see De La Hoya landing early and often, Roach will call a hault to this one.

    Then again, with that avatar, you will probably be watching the fight in Full Drag with a bunch of other Queens, and after, you all will go dancing.

    I have to agree with that. I am barely 5'7 if that and Manny was definitely at least an inch shorter than me when I stood next to him. Plus he was wearing some thick heavy g'd up lugs which I thought was kinda funny. Even 5'8 Morales looked a great deal taller in their fights.

    Well, Wlad and Lennox Lewis often had 6" on their guy and landed the hook.

    Oscar just aims a little lower. No big deal here.
