This fight really scares me Manny Pac may never be the same!

Why do people keep bringing up that he started at 106?
Who cares what he weighed as a teen. He is not a natural 106 pounder. He is a natural 130-135 lb fighter. His body has progressed alot and the 106 is no longer releveant.

I do not want to see this fight either but please dont use the "he started at 106" because it is irrelevant now. Maybe if he did walk around 106 lbs then yes it would be relevant but it no longer is.

 

Yep this fight is gonna **** him up

 

i think that just by Pac accepting this fight, he is already no longer the same. not about who will win or lose but its about what his objectives are as a fighter.

 

Exactly,even if Oscar retires Manny will be the new Oscar,fighting in these PPV circus acts

 

pac started fighting when he was just 16. he already has 14 years of ring age and could be slippng but we don't notice it yet. i would not be surprised if we could see a dramatic decline from him anytime now. fighting oscar would just increase the chance/rate of his regression. as a pacfan, my final wish for pac then was to rematch and beat jmm and after that he could retire or do anything he wishes. he did beat jmm in a close fight and become the man at 130. the 135 title and "anything else" was and is just a bonus from me now. pac already did much in my expectations.

 

pac is a natural 122 pounder imo. that was his weight when he stopped growing-up and where he fought most of his fights.

 

It does not matter what he started at!?
It matters at what his avg weight is and the safest lowest weight he can make. Which i think is 130. But 135 is still reasonable.

And no Pimp C i am not an Oscarsexual. I respect his accomplishment but this decision pissed me off. Margarito was the perfect way for him to go out.

 

Pimp I have to agree with saul that Pac starting at 106 is irrelavent to a certain degree, because I'm pretty sure during Oscar early amatuer career he started at a very low weight, and in a sense Pac early professional career was like his AM career because before that he probably did'nt have one. The reason why this fight is a disgrace is because Oscar is too big for Pacquiao and Pacquiao is fighting two weight classes above where he has never fought at and Oscar is someone who has fought as high as 160.

 

this is fight that no one wanted to see but everyone will likely watch,sad end to a great career for oscar&a potential career altering beating for pac.

 

Very nice avatar it has a nice glow to it.

 

This fight is gonna be another glorified sparring session just like the Gayweather/DLH fight was. Oscar doesn't want to go to war anymore. Did you see what Forbes did to his face? I think Gay la Hoya will take a decision but I wouldn't be suprised if Oscar looks the worse of the two at the end of the night....and IMO, Pacquiao's time is numbered anyway. He's already taken a lot of punishment throughout his career. Might as well cash out while he still has the marketablility. Guys with Pacquiao's style don't stay elite into their 30's.

 

I agree

He's going to get very, very hurt.

 

The size difference in the ring will make you care.
