For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
Both look in great shape, but Oscar definitely has the size advantage. If Oscar took this fight he should win by TKO. I believe that even if he wins a decision, he will be loosing. This is a fight that he cautiously selected (big name, small body) and he is trying to make it look as a bigger threat than it really should be. Just imagine all risks for Hopkins for fighting Hatton. If Oscar wants to be recognized as the best boxer he had to fight the best of his division. Why he did not take a fight with Margarito??
Oscar should win, but I believe that Pacman speed will give him some difficulties and will land his left hand couple of times on the Golden Boy's face.
Puerto Rico, Small Island, Big Champions!!!
That goes both ways. Pac had PLENTY of big fights at 130 and 135...but he too choose the "event" fight. That's the business of boxing. No need to just pick on Oscar. After all...he never forced Pac to fight him. Not to mention Oscar wanted the rematch with Floyd before this fight. As for the weigh in...both look in great shape. I am actually surprised at how good Oscar looks...he doesn't look too weight drained. The size difference was realyy obvious at the face off...Pac had on sneakers...and he was still looking up at Oscar.
I dont buy that argument. I think its noble of Pac to try and overcome the obstacles set in making this fight. Oscar on the other hand is completely cynical and looking to make the biggest money from the smallest risk. I hope it all goes horribly wrong and Manny manages to give him a beating. Oscar is all wrong. Nobody has fought anybody until they have fought OscarWhat a condescending and self righteous tit!
If Oscar was all about challenges he would step up and fight somebody in his own weight class. He hasnt done that in a long time. He needs and deserves a good piece of humiliation. I dont know if Pac has it in him, but he needs to at least leave his mark.

Manny looks good at this weight and not a blown up lightweight, just a light Welterweight. Im happy he came in uner the limit cause that says that he has been putting on the right kind of weight and focusing on speed.
Oscar looks good and he has put his work in. No doubt he trained hard for this fight. It is concerning to me that he came in under the limit and looks really dont convince me that he is strong or not weight drained. He could very well be weak at this weight at point in his career. This is the lowest hes been in over 11 years.
I think that Manny is a lot more comfortable in his body at this weight than Oscar.
