    No chance. DLH has fought as heavy as 160 (Felix Sturm) and has a proven chin with some power left in his punches. Pacman has only fought one guy over 130. Granted he stopped him, but David Diaz isn't even on the same planet as DLH when it comes to boxng.(And no, I'm not a DLH fan)

    I'll only watch it if I hear Pacman beat him. Otherwise I'll just go to Youtube to see the KO. Nice try, though.:D

    Nopes . . . I'm not changing my tune . . . it doesn't matter if it's 1% or 25 % . . . Pacquaio's chance is very minimal.

    If Oscar encounters problem making that weight . . . then Pac's chances increases. :deal

    right I'd put Pac's chances at 10 to 15%

    biggest problem for him IMO will be how well can Manny take Oscar's punch.

    Oh course there is a chance but there is a SLIM chance!

    I agree with 555est comments - biggest problem is if manny can take oscar's punches!

    don't get me wrong! i'm a pac fan and i hope pac wins this one!

    I just wanted to know how many of you thought PAc has a legitimate chance to win. I believe Dlh is going to be against it, he won't be strong enough, Dlh will keep his technique, and that Pac's combined speed, power and southpaw style will be enough to ko Dlh at age 35. Dlh has a great chance to win also if he just stays his ground and conserves his energy, but PAc's bombs wil prevail.

    The poll in this thread is a bit tricky.

    To say fighter A has absolutely NO chance vs fighter B in ANY boxing match would be idiotic. There's always a chance.

    I don't like Pac's chance against Oscar.... I like Pac, but I just see Oscar being able to do that much more that he couldn't against Mayweather.

    Even with Dlh being 35 years of age, and coming down to a weight he has not fought at in 8 years???

    ESB has a article written by Shawn O'Donnle that talk about the weight issue. A very good read. You hit on some of the points he made too. Most of the posters are agreeing with your assessment and a lot more. Good post.

    Hmm... I thought you were saying something about PACFAN84 and his lunacy in the above post, but anyway.

    I said the poll is tricky.

    There's always a chance the favourite will lose in a fight.

    The poll's second option reads "No, Pac has no chance at all to beat Dlh", which is something idiotic to say about an upcoming fight.

    I say yea cuz n e 1 has a chance. Some1 used forbes as an example, but you cant use that one, cuz at least forbes was fighting at higher weights or around the 147 limit 4 some time. Pac is comin from 135 upto 147 in one shot, he is shorter, shorter reach. Out manned.
    I want him 2 win so bad, but IDK man Delahoya is so big compared 2 him
    But im still rootin for Pac
