Well they're talking about this...

Arum noted, "Oscar De La Hoya always has difficulty fighting speed and always has difficulty fighting a southpaw. Manny Pacquiao has both of those qualities in abundance. So Freddie Roach really believes and knows what he was talking about when he said that he likes his guy’s chances in the fight."

It's Arum who pointed it out so maybe it happened early in Oscar's career... BTW Hector Camacho a southpaw...

Most recent fights of Oscar were against right-handed boxers so Pacquiao's southpaw stance might give Oscar a different and difficult look...
.
No way Pacquiao will have his usual speed at 147.
why not? he's fought at around 144-146 in his last few fights, so he can just weigh-in at around that much and come in at maybe a couple of pounds heavier. that way he wouldn't be losing any speed and be fresher by not having to drain himself at all.
