    Pimp, you are my man and 50 grand and all, but Floyd would be able to beat Pavlik lol. Anyway, Pac is not fighting a prime Dlh. Had PAc been fighting a prime dlh, I'd be on your side. Pac has a geat chance to out hustle Dlh. I say this because Dlh's only weapons now are his left jab and left hook. Anyway, whatsgoodwhicha Pimpin? lol

    yeah he has a chance depending on how far past it ODLH is, that's why I hate this fight. Heaven for *******s, win-win.

    I hear ya man. I mostly agree with you on everything but I can't on this one.:good I just hate the thought of this fight even coming off. Because I'd much rather see Pac fighting Campbell, Guzman, Diaz or JMM all 4 of these fights are better fights.

    to say a guy like pac has NO chance is kind of ridiculous...he is lightining fast with dynamic power and a huge heart...he has a chance...whether he wins or not is another story

    Everyone has a punchers chance with that being said I dont see him beating Oscar. I just wondering how the weight is going to effect him gaining 12lbs ! Walking around with the weight and fighting at that weight is totally different. Oscar has all the advantage going in to this fight expect speed and stamina issues. Oscar is the better boxer and bigger man so I just don't see Manny Pacquiao pulling a victory this time. If Juan Marquez can give Manny problems because Marquez is a better boxer please believe that Oscar is going be a bigger problem for Manny.

    Oscar is about 1/2 a foot taller. That means his left hook, if Manny fights a bit low, and bobs and weaves, is going to hit the side of Manny's head, not his jaw. No KO. No TKO. No knock downs.

    Pac has a small chance but I often wonder if he knows what it takes to come out on top in this particular challenge. I guess he does and, therefore, he's mainly in there for the big spotlight and a chance for unforgettable Glory ( and money of course). Having said this, Manny should know how difficult is to reach Hoya, how tired he may get at doing it and how much risk he runs into for trying it all the same - just a tremendous warrior heart but a small chance nonetheless.

    Exactly. He is at the Apex of his prime. He is the so-called best pfp fighter in the world. Why wouldn't he have a chance? His fans want to call this a monumental legendary win, when it really isn't. They say PAc's early losses don't count when comparing him to Calzaghe. Ok, the first loss was before he won the title, but what about the second? Is so-called being weak from making weight an excuse to lose in 3 rounds? Funny, Jones was very weak when he barely beat Tarver, and nobody wanted to hear Jones then.

    Based purely upon the Forbes fight. A noted non-puncher in Forbes marked Oscar up pretty badly.

    I can easily see a reverse of DLH-Chavez 1 with DLH badly cut up by Pacman's chopping punches. DLH has a good chin so can't see a knockout, but as he gasses in the 2nd half of fights as of late, I expect a nasty cut would either stop him or see him even more cautious late on, with Pacman winning a decision.

    Though that's the kinda' thing I'd like to happen, I see DLH ending the fairytale with a crushing left hook that doesn't spark Pacqiuao, but forces Freddie Roach to intervene when he rises to continue fighting.

    I think it's 55-45 in favour of DLH at the moment.

    I like Manny. I know people think I'm crazy, but, oscar hasn't been the same fighter for years now. Manny is gonna outbox him.
