If Manny can manage to keep moving around all night and not get caught on the ropes too often (Manny does not have the best chin out there...Not the worst but not the best).....If he goes in and out with quick flurries and not exchange with Oscar he has a chance.....
Looking at the way Forbes marked him up it is possible for Manny to get to him......DLH can not keept the pace and he would get frustrated....
I don't pick Manny to win but if it happened I would not be surprised
Hidden Content IN CASE THEY ALL FORGOT WHAT REAL HEAVYWEIGHT POWER WAS!!!
On paper it looks dreadful
Guy 1: Had one fight at Lightweight vs mediocre titlist.
Guy 2: fights at Light Middle former ring champion at the weight.
Hope Paquaio wins so we can see Pac-man vs Hatton.

everyones been talking bout how pac would bomb oscar with body shots.they seem to forget oscars best punch is the left hook.a converted southpaw.and pac as we all know is a lefty which means his lead foot is the right making that left hook to the liver more inviting.and yes,everyone seems to be vulnerable on that spot.even pac i guess.he shud start teaching himself to stuck an elbow in there.i guess![]()
An empty can is always noisy.

You know one aspect of Oscar that I often forget these days, but it simply can't be counted out.. And that he's a money hungry businessman, and I absolutely truly with all my heart, believe that it could not be put past him to (quote me on this) "go easy" on Pac to make it a close fight, and warrant a second giant money spinning Manny Oscar fight...
I know it sound stupid,,,, but I've got a big feeling that at the end of this fight, regardless of how it turns out, a LOT of people are going to be pointing out that Oscar clearly did not fight to his potential. Did not let his hands go. Did not take advantage of opportunities, held to much, and could be perceived as going easy on Pac when he could be knocking his block off..
No one may agree, but I am going on record right here with this prediction.... Oscar will be a shadow of anything we believe to be his full potential, either because of his age, or more than likely, because of his mindset being more about business these days than the fighter that he once was...

I know what you mean, pretty much nothing could surprise me in the sport of boxing any more.
I watched Mosley/ODLH 1 last night for the first time in years, and since Oscar is a shadow of what he was then I give Pac a shot, but he's still a heavy underdog as he's way smaller than Shane even. He needs to get in and out fast and not mix it up at all in the first half, just wait for Oscar to tire.
Like Diz says, even if the size difference looks ridicilous on fight night, Oscar will not go nuts to take him out the first round other wise he''ll prove the whole event is a sham (which it is), maybe it's possible for Oscar to drag it out long enough to get himself tired enough so Pac has a chance.

Complete mismatch. This will be a replay of Oscar vs B-Hop. Only this time Oscar is B-Hop. Oscar has the reach, the size, Pacquiao is going to have to dart in and out all night long only problem is he has to do it now to a guy who's 5'10 and isn't that slow. If Oscar hasn't slowed too much he will get a KO.
