    does delahoya go from all time great to all time loser? this is suppose to be a guarantee victory maybe even guarantee knockout for oscar but if he gets knocked out or even loses by decision by a guy who is significantly smaller then i think oscars legacy is pretty much scraped.

    I think either way if he wins then he beat a smaller guy, If he loses then it will be embarrassing.. and not good for him (DLH)

    I feel the public backlash will be great and this will not be Oscars last fight.. He will feel that he has to redeem himself I think he'll be back next year to fight ethier Margo or Cotto.. or mabey PBF if he comes out of retirment...

    Nothing. If these guys both put up a skilled, exciting fight, these guy's legacies won't be effected win or lose IMO...Pacquaio however, if he wins, his legacy is flying super high

    Oscar is a no win situation here, from respectfull boxing fans that is, people who dont know **** will praise him if he beats pacman.

    Oscar appeals to the casual boxing fan most of all, and I don't think the majority of them will know just how much bigger Oscar is compared to PAC. So if he get's knocked out they'll just think he got knocked out by a great fighter unaware that he's so much smaller then Oscar, although it will be apparent in the ring I imagine.

    If he gets knocked out it would be the funniest **** in the history of the sport. And well deserved. Maybe then he'll just go away!

    DLH goes from a HOFamer to a total clown. :D :lol:

    That's why I don't see Pacqauio even winning . . . not on DLH's well planned "last fight". :deal

    Pacquaio has nothing to lose . . . boxing pundits and ordinary fan of the sports . . . doesn't expect the small guy to win . . . they know it's all for money.
