lots of different ways to look at this one mannys speed, oscars size, stamina in the older fighter, styles, the list of things that could affect this fight is long, but will oscar be to weight drained or can he cope and can manny out work the bigger man, who knows will have to c on the night.i predict that manny is going to be far to quick and he is carring alot more muscle than normal so his power is going to be better manny to win but a fight wiv hatton will be boring were as oscar and hatton would be better.
as mombo pointed out there is alot more entertaining fights out there which will be amazing for the boxing fans.
margarito/mayweather
cotto/mayweather
williams/mayweather
cotto/williams
buerto/all of the above
chuck clotty in the mix two and u can have sum amazing match ups.

i am tempted to say oscar’s in big trouble. i don’t think older fighters can drop weight and remain competitive. look at chris byrd. that was sad. but oscar is better than bryd and might be ok. dunno. i just think pacman is too fast for him.
pacman will outwork oscar and land more. oscar’s face will be red by rd. 3. oscar will keep looking for the home-run hook, but it won’t come. pacman via UD. but pac will be holding on late.
the sad thing is both want to fight hatton next year. dullsville. maybe hatton/pacman on a rainy day. i’d rather see:
margarito/williams 2
margarito/cotto 2
margarito/oscar
williams/mayweather (awesome)
williams/cotto
berto/clottey
mayweather/chavez jr. (just for laughs)

De La Hoya looks really thin. I think he is going to be weight drained.

I have read this article, and what the authur has failed to notice is that B-hop for one is bigger n stronger, equally skilled, making it impossible for oscar to win, although did win the first 4 rounds. The fight with mayweather was in my eyes close, because oscar won almost all the exchanges, mayorga n forbes both, have been WORLD champs. This comes down to styles, manny hits, but gets hit back, oscar hits, but rarely gets hit back. Oscars reactions are still well tuned, n in the mayweather fight i believe oscar has shown his stamina is just fine. -Thank you

Oscar has never been cut that I can remember. Mayweather couldn’t hurt or cut him a year ago. Pacquiao isn’t going to do it on Saturday.

A 35 year old oscar will be to big for manny.Oscar will rough and tumble manny in 10.

Ricardo mayorga is ALWAYS a dangerous opponent
