    Would it be like a prime pac taking making delahoya cut weight. Huge Pac fan but its not like Pac hasnt done the same in the past.

    Hardly, Odlh fought Forbes 150 in his last fight. He was on his way down to 147 for a rematch with floyds, that fell apart so he called pac up to 147 who himself just had only 1 fight at 135. So pac has to jump 2 weight classes, 3 in a year whilst oDLH has to drop 3lbs.

    That would be the equivalent of bringing Loma up to 147 or if we want to be exact, 143.

    Realistically, yes. Maybe there should be a stipulation (similar to the one from the Rigondeaux fight) that Pacquiao on the fight day can't be heavier than ...

    I don't give PAC a pass either. PAC didn't deserve any credit for beating Oscar, since he forced Oscar to cut to 147 when Oscar had been fighting at 154 for years. At least Mayweather fought against Oscar at 154. I also don't give PAC credit for draining Margarito or Cotto by fighting them at catchweights.

    I'd rather see Loma try to clean out 135 rather than crush an old fighter that he drained down. At 147 PAC could put up a fight against Loma, but at his age and with his skills as deteriorated as they are he most likely would still lose. However, at 140 or lower Loma beats PAC as easily as he beat Rigo, since PAC would have no strength or stamina and most likely quits on his stool.
