How, after seeing what Forbes was able to do, can anyone believe a far superior fighter like Pacquiao is going to be slaughtered?
Il have any bet you want Pac gets smashed, did we see Steve Forbes? The Steve Forbes who has fought light Middleweights, the Steve Forbes who has been 12 rounds in many fights with guys over 140+, yes ive seen him, now Manny p4p alot better but a guy who has never fought anywhere near 147, he has only had one fight at Lightweight, DelaHoya will spark him out within 6 rounds.
Don't misunderstand me...it would not surprise me if Manny got knocked out at some point, but it WILL be a highly competitive fight for as long as it goes. Pacquaio may be smaller, but he is WAY faster than Oscar and has superior hand speed and power to Forbes. In fact, if it goes the distance, it is a fact that Pacman wins. ODLH won't be able to keep up with the pace. He has to knock him out.

He's not way faster than Oscar, nobody is WAY faster. Even Mayweather who is quicker than Manny wasn't way faster than Oscar. Oscar has always had great handspeed that can compete on anyone's level. I see Manny ferocity and his combinations giving Oscar a lot of trouble, but not purely his speed.
