    Oscar had visible track marks in his arms from trying to IV rehydrate he was so drained. Roach said once he saw those he knew Pac would win. Assuming Canelo is not not that position, even a near miss with a power shot should floor Khan.

    That would only happen if Canelo has grown or he gets his preparation wrong. He's made 155 in his last 4 fights and it wasn't an issue.

    Manny has a decent chin. Khan has none.

    Oscar was shot to bits by then. Granted he was no worse than the semi-retired, drug-ravaged inactive corpse who came within a whisker of beating a prime Floyd and had only fought once in almost 3 years and been out of action for a full 12 months and was in reality 1-3 in last 4 fights. But he was still done by then. Obviously Pacquio dealt with him the way a true great is supposed to do when facing a cadaver, whereas Floyd went life-and-death against Oscar's shot ghost and would've unquestionably lost via KO had he not been jacked silly full of industrial amounts of PEDs.

    No offense, but this is nonsense. People already knew that DLH is moving down in weight for this. I picked Pacquiao to win with zero confidence and knew that DLH is moving down thinking that might be an issue, but still couldn't even imagine Pacquiao winning this.

    The predictions continued to remain the same throughout the entire weigh-in and fight night weight processes. It seems to be normal nowadays to discredit fighters for winning fights absolutely no one gave them a shot in hell against and I find that appalling.

    No its only nonsense to someone who lacks basic comprehension skills and has an agenda such as yourself. HBO, didn't display the fight night weights until the tale of the tape right before the fighters make their entrances into the ring. Were all the jorunalists and pundits supposed to log on real quick, and rewrite their stories and change their predictions minutes before the fight?:lol:

    Up until that point, no one knew or predicted that DLH would be lighter than Manny in the ring. Everyone assumed he would make weight, and then rehyrdrate 20lbs or so. No one expected that he would weigh less than Manny and be so dehydrtaed the he would have visible marks from getting a IV before the fight.

    I'm just stating facts, Manny beat up a DLH who he was 2lbs heavier than. Predictions of his demise were based upon DLH having a significant weight advantage. Those are facts my friend.:good

    Lol these peps knew Oscar weight before the fight. All I knew was PAC is fighting Hoya and he PAC was going to get his head taken off. If Oscar came in underweight that's his problem, PAC shouldn't even be in the same ring with him anyway. What a bunch of baloney, if we can go back to 07 these peps including me self would pick Hoya by murder.

    Why do people keep making **** up?

    Pacquiao was the betting favourite when the fight started. That's a FACT.

    Oscar wasn't even close to shot when he fought Floyd and he lost easily despite the poor judging in a fight where the crown roared with every missed punch he threw. He was coming off a brutal KO win over Mayorga. He didn't get shot until he foolishly tried to drain down to a weight he hadn't fought at in like 8 years.

    Canelo will not be weight drained to a corpse like Oscar.

    It was Karma. Before the Margarito -Canelo 1 fight Oscar bragged " I want the winner of this fight as my last fight to go out in a blaze of glory" lol When he saw Margarito destroy Cotto he quickly changed his mind. He picked on little Manny Pacquaio BIG MISTAKE!!!! He got his ass kicked & went out beaten & humiliated. Could Canelo ducking Golovkin & taking on the much lighter Khan be history repeating itself??
    Majority of real fight fans hope so but this will be an enormous task for Khan as he is being dragged up TWO WEIGHT classes to meet an El Pollo who will enter the ring probably weighing 170 pounds plus

    I say !!!!! WAR KHAN !!!!!!!!!!!!
