    Pac has a chance, but it's a slim chance.

    DLH should be more than just a 2-1 favorite.

    Thread, I think that they know that Pac has a chance against a 35 year old Dlh coming to 147.

    Pac has an outside chance to win. Mostly it depends on how the weight loss DLH will have to deal with affects him. No secret DLH's stamina has been his Achilles heel in most of his big fights. Draining himself and probably losing muscle will leave him weak and more drained then he's ever been. His body may simply not react the way it would back then. That being said, ih he can go to 147 and be 60% of what he was, he should win. Even by KO. He still has a great jab and all around skills in the ring. Still puts punches together as good as most. And his power might still be there. Hard fight to call, but still leaning towards DLH.

    Yes. Because he is still in his prime, is the best ACTIVE fighter on the planet, has speed which generally troubles Oscar, and power which should still be decent at the weight. However, stylistically, I don't know how he will do it. Moving forward will be suicide... so for that, I'll leave it to his team.

    No chance whatsoever.

    Pacquio is a pressure fighter.

    And as those of you who havent decieved yourselves will remember, pressure fighting does not work on fighter who are muh bigger and physically stronger than you are.

    This fight is what we all said it was before we started overthinking it - a farce. A money making endeavour brought on by Oscars pathetic need for attention.

    Oscar is going to unleash the fury on Pac. That's unless he carries him.

    Pac is going to come in throwing bombs trying to gain respect, and you know what, they will land. Howard Cosell reported a poll of 10 sports writers and told Carmen Basilio that he took a poll of 10 sports writers and 9 of them picked Robinson by a knock out, what do you have to say about that, and Basilio's famous return line to Cosell was, "well 9 of em are wrong"!!! :rofl

    Pac isn't just a pressure fighter. He can actually box when he has to. He uses his feints which keeps guys at bay. He threatens his speed, and then utilizes his feints which is a pleasure to watch. I just want to see him do it against prime fighters;)

    As long as Pac's not KOed in the early rounds then an accumulation of body shots on DLH may do wonders for Pacman...

    The fight is getting close. Who thinks PAc still doesn't have a great chance?
