    Pac is too small for DLH, who is not slow....the difference with Jones and Ruiz was Ruiz was too damn slow to catch Jones....DLH can and will catch Pac, who is no Sweet Pea with his defence....

    The odds should be really interesting to bet on Pacquiao anyhow...

    It's not Pac's skillset that is going to win him this fight, it is De La Hoya's deteriorated reflexes, hand eye coordination, speed and punching power that gives him a chance.

    Forbes after all, was hitting Hoya flush all night and actually broke a bone in his face.

    Even after moving up two weight classes, you cannot let someone like Pacman hit you flush all night.

    When ODLH hits Pac solidly in combination. It's going to end early.

    Enjoy it while is lasts..

    The only way I see Oscar failing to stop Pac or not stopping him as early as some predict is if DLH decides to carry him awhile.

    How does De La Hoya's counterpunching rate these days? that's what he's going to need to depend on to land his money punches on the quick pinoy

    I don't now if Pac has the "tactical skillset" to win, but he might have the speed, aggression and heart to pull off the upset. Unlike Forbes I don't see Pac going on cruise control for a loss. Pac will do a "Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead" and go for broke.
