    Yes Pacman can win
    No Pacman has a severe disadvantage and will get ko'd brutally

    I personally think this is the stupidest match I have ever heard of. Pacman is tiny compared to DLH. And old or not, DLH is gonna brutally hurt Pacman.

    I see Pacman either outboxing him with speed, unable to hurt him until DLH catches him in around the 2nd-4th rounds.

    I just cant see it lasting longer than that, its gonna be the craziest show ever.

    This will not do a thing for DLH's legacy except for tarnish it.

    Anything could happen but im 99.9 percent sure Oscar demolishes him id be sure of that even if weight wasnt a factor Oscars just a bad style matchup for Pacquiao period. This should be a horrible beating I dont expect 1 punch KO Pacquiao is to tough.

    There is a 3.5 inch difference in height and 6 inch difference in reach between Pac Man and DLH.

    When you compare some of the fighters Paul Williams has fought, the differences have been even more pronounced.

    Manny is smaller but he is much faster. I think people are underestimating him.

    Also, I give him mad props for stepping up for this fight!

    DLH scores a early knockdown and puts him away before the 8th. He'll make it more competitive than it has to be and embarasses the guy like Gatti and Mayorga.

    I'd love to see Pacman win more than anything though.

    No, De La Hoya will by either K.O. or T.K.O.
    (Roach will throw in the towel)

    its a bull**** fight and either way DLH loses.

    If DLH loses to Pac....OMG it will be a field day on DLH

    If DLH wins.....so fking what! Pac is so much smaller.

    IMO its a lose lose for DLH

    IMO this fight is nothing but DLH trying to line his pocket with more $$$$ and almost guarantee a win before he walks away from the game.

    Bull**** ***** move by DLH...Lost all respect

    Pacs faster yes but on a p4p scale. Remember hes jumping up 12 pounds in this fight 17 pounds in 2 fights to be exact. This guy was a Flyweight at one time he speed may very well dimish at 147. We already know what DLHs speed is like even now and its not bad infact its pretty good.

    Sad thing is is that i dont think Hoya will carry him. I think DLH will go for the brutal KO which is ****ed up
