If Oscar wins will he be the first fighter ever to come down from 160?

[C-Lo]

I know everyone thinks it's a forgone conclusion that Oscar will beat Manny but I'm not so sure.

I've not heard of many fighters who have moved down two weight classes before.

Oscar looked ripped at 154 I think getting back down to 147 might be very hard on his body.

When you look at Jones Jr, Tarver and Chris Byrd and how much they all struggled with moving down in weight you have to wonder if it's possible for Oscar in his mid 30's to be in fighting shape at 147 any more?

I certainly think it makes for an interesting fight, and if Oscar does beat Pack he WILL deserve a great deal of credit imo.

Everyone is talking about how Manny is moving up to face the much bigger man but it works both ways and Oscar is moving DOWN to a weight class he's not fought in in years.

Could be tough for Oscar.

Size will be the only factor here...Fact is DLH made this fight with Pacquiao because there was a lack of an elite fighter available for him to face before he retires...

Dawson, Calzaghe too big....Hopkins well we know what happened there already...Vazquez not happening,,Doniare impossible,,,Same for Munoz and Darchinyan...Klitschko just proposturous....

Pacquiao the only one...He is not chancing Margarito after his last 3 blowouts....Williams bad move again...Cotto....would not before and after the loss to Tony the marketability lost some.....

Pacquiao only choice left....DLH is desperate for a victory over a P4P fighter in their prime before he retires....He hinks he has the upperhand with Pacquiao...and he might...but it is shameful that he is that desperate....I hope Pacquiao hands him his ass...Would serve him right

I don't know Dax! De La Hoya now openly says that this will not be his last fight. There's still time for him to set up fights with Vasquez, Donaire, Darchiniyan, etc...
