This in my opinion is one of the biggest jokes a sport has ever seen. The worst part about it is it's my favorite fighter and I'm going to have to watch it.

BS, utter BS!!
I'll never understand why some people are so against this fight.
Pea, I honestly feel this fight is a huge mismatch. Like it's been said, Pac started at 106 and De La Hoya has been as high as 160. Pac fought at 130 at the beginning of 2008 and will fight at the end of the year at 147? I think he's messing around too much with his weight.

I see how people say Oscar is going to struggle to make 147 but Pac took 9 rounds to knockout a natural 135 pounder who he hit at will. How much will it take from him to hurt someone MUCH bigger than that. He isn't outboxing Oscar, so power would have to be Pac's edge which I don't think he has either. Pac will have to rely on speed and speed only.

Also, after this fight, he has to move back to 135 to fight one of the real lightweights or maybe to 140 to fight Hatton. Fighting at 147 and having to lose that much weight for his next fight won't help Pacquiao. I think of what happened to Roy Jones after beating Ruiz may possibly happen to Pacquiao.

I think winning this fight for Oscar means exactly as he said of avenging all the Mexican fighters who lost to Manny. I don't think he really thinks Manny is the biggest challenge out there. It is a somewhat safe fight for him that will make him some serious cheddar. Manny is just too small of a fighter for me to give De La Hoya credit for beating.

If Pacquiao wins, it will be an upset in my eyes due to the physical advantages De La Hoya possesses over him. But then, I honestly feel this, people would think if Manny can beat Oscar, then that means he can fight Floyd. That is the absolute last person I would want Manny to share the ring with.

Sorry I started to rant a little bit, but that's what I feel about this fight.
