Freddie Roach proposed idea for fight

[Kev]

I really don't see this as that much of a mismatch to be honest.

Pacquiao is no smaller than Steve Forbes and he handled himself fine against Oscar, Floyd is only a little fella and had no problems.

Manny has great speed, relentless aggression and ever improving footwork.

If he fights Oscar he'll surely have a plan to box and move like he did in the second Barrera fight, he's hardly going to go toe to toe like he did with Marquez.

If this fight happens I say Manny comfortably goes the distance and could even win on points.

I really don't see it as a one sided beating at all, especially seeing as Oscar will have a vested future interest in Manny looking good as for practically certain if they did fight, Manny would sign a contract with Goldenboy afterwards.

Forbes might not be that much bigger than Pac. But he's use to fighting bigger fighters. His fights in the contender were all against bigger fighters. Pac has never fought a much bigger fighter. And he doesn't posses the boxing skills of a Forbes or Mayweather. Pac will get stretchered in this fight.

You're completely overlooking the business side of things here VD. Mark my words if the fight was made then Oscar and Pac would do more business than just the fight. Oscar wouldn't want Manny to look bad as he'd be by far his biggest money maker afterwards.

It honestly wouldn't suprise me if Oscar even threw the fight in order to have the rights to a Pacquaio Mayweather megafight the following year.

If it happens, it's going 12 rounds for certain imo.
