    Pacquaio beating Oscar. Mosley's a better boxer then Margo and I think he can very well pull off the upset if he uses his boxing skills. Pacquiao is a lot smaller then De La Hoya and isn't the better boxer. I'm looking forward to both fights though.

    Both would be shocking but DLH/Pacman more. But the tune on this board over the last few weeks seems to think that Pacman has a very good chance. I honestly don't know where this change in thinking is coming from.

    How could anyone think these two outcomes were even close in shock factor?? :patsch :lol:

    I'd like for any of those who voted for #2 or #3 to look me in the eye in real life and tell me that Pacquiao-De La Hoya wouldn't be one of the most surreal upsets of all time.

    Margarito shouldn't even be a massive favorite over Mosley (although favorite he should be, given how deteriorated Shane is).

    I'm not taking anything from Shane, because he is a good opponent, but Margarito is going to beat Shane like a drum. He has too much for him. I just don't see how it can happen.

    Even so. There is no way in ****king hell Pac is gonna take Oscar. No way in ****ing HELL. Like him or not, Oscar can ****ing box. Believe that ****.

    The results more or less reflect what I anticipated.

    Both would be equally shocking IMO. If Mosley fights against Margo like he did against Mayorga, he will get stopped for the first time in his career. I fear this is a distinct possibility. And you can talk about Pac-Oscar all day, but on the night the size will win it.

    Mosley aint gonna beat Margarito. Not at this age. Not after going up to 154 and now coming back down to 147, again.

    All these people are saying that Pac has no chance yet i look at the bookies and i see the odds are pretty close. Why aren't you people betting big dollars.

    Both outcomes would be shocking, but imo Mosley beating Margarito is close to impossible based on their condition right now. So if Shane pulled it off, I would be more shocked.

    Pac winning would be worse than watching Darkness Falls again.

    Given my recent history of predicting how fights will play out, I'm starting to think Mosley is going to get royally ****ed up against Margarito. I hope I'm wrong.
