    “I think he can still pull the trigger. He still has punching power. I mean, one year ago he fought a split decision against Floyd Mayweather. Nobody has ever done that. He took a year off and then he fought me. It’s not like he took any abuse. He fought more relaxed in the later rounds. Manny is a great fighter, definitely a hall-of-fame fighter but I just think it’s going to be really tough in there with Oscar. I gotta favor the bigger, stronger guy. I think the early rounds will be the key. If Manny can keep moving very fast, jumping in and out he can give Oscar a lot of problems and then score. But Oscar, fifth round or so, he’s just been a strong puncher. He may be too big and too strong for Manny Pacquiao in the middle of the fight.”

    If it was Oscar's comment I would recommend him to put the gun to the head and pull.

    Forbes has some good points and it's fair to say that everyone agrees with him here.
