If Pac wins. Maybe Mayweather/Pacquiao

That's highly probable... PAC has the rights to call out PBF if he wins this fight... Specially if he wins it convincingly...

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.

i think you're forgetting the stamina factor. diaz has that which oscar don't.

Good call. I don't know why I didn't think of that...

How about Pac's stamina with 12 more pounds? How about how he lost the 1 punch power at 135 ? What about the common thread all those that won vs ODLH ( true boxing skills) Hopkins, PBF, Mosley, Trinidad ! Pac can not outbox ODLH his best option is to punch. Pac will finally be in a fight where he is not the harder puncher.

This is going to be a "Boxing clinic" put on by ODLH. No discredit to Pac it's just that all his advantages over ODLH are non existent at 147. Speed with no skill set will not help Pac. If JMM had any power Pac would have been cooked ! Now against a skilled, experienced and harder puncher he supposed to win, how ( See Cotto Fans mind set, I guess) ? I see Pac stumble all over the ring in December as ODLH exposes Pac as no more than a really great light punching lightweight.

People forget :
1) ODLH was the first opponent to beat Mayweather on a score card. Had he not given up on his jab vs PBF he would have won that fight. How is Pac going to avoid ODLH's jab? Pac is not a better defensive boxer than PBF!
2) Oscar has a tendency to work his hardest in the last 30 seconds of each round which not only impress fans but the judges as well. Which creates a lunging Pac into a KO recipient with a ODLH left hook. Remember never hook with a hooker and I will bet on ODLH over Pac's anyday.
3) Oscar hand picked this fight and has actually had the luxury of sitting in on Pac's sparring and pre-fight training.


I predict a lopsided ODLH decision or a 7th-8th round ODLH KO.
