In the first pic he is absolutely trying to look small. Look how far apart his feet/legs are. Also his expression matches his hunched sloped posture. Do not be surprised when DLH looks way taller than Pacman in the ring.
Youre right, the expression on his face tells it all.
Yep actually if you notice in every single picture Oscar either deliberately hunches a bit with his neck sagging it down and the picture where you see his feet he's intentionally spreading his feet as wide as reasonably possible in order to lower his height.
I'm POSITIVE both promoters instructed their fighters to maximize the height potential for Pac in photoshoots and minimize it for Oscar.
If Oscar were to stand straight up back straight feet together he would tower over Pac so bad that people wouldn't be interested in this farce of a fight.
I agree completely
lol actually oscar has his feet wider to make him more pacs height.
and he is slighting sucking in his stomach and hunching over a bit.
That's what I noticed as well. He's not standing tall while Pac is. The height difference will be immediately evident once they step in the ring. Remember how tall Oscar looked standing next to MAB and JMM during promotional pressers while he was the promoter. That's the actual height difference between he and Manny.

both Pac and Marquez are great fighters who I'm sure respect each others abilities, why can't their fans.
Sure there are other fighters at 130 & 135lbs that we would have loved to see fight Pac or other top names in each division, and its a shame it may never happen, but oh well, there are other great fights that can be made. And to the racist ramarks about 'pinoys' and 'Mexicans', that just show how ignorant people are.
Says who, you?
lol Yo' we'll all lose sleep over that..
....I promise.
Im lying, no sleep will be lost.
Truth is, who has Paq beat? I mean Soto and Guzman could have cleared out the junior lightweights just as easily as Paq did. Paq is in his prime and he's wasting it on these circus fights!? These lame fights no wants to see!?
And it's not Oscar's fault this is happening..
lol Paq's team completely ignored the Soto's and Guzman's (who were his equivelants) back at junior lightweight, and no one said shit about those fights. Inculding you, who is infact..an important person with a point of view that equals, well..... my ass. :rofl:
Paq is in his prime and who have they fought? lol Marquez is past prime and fought Paq TWICE. Including the best beltholder at lightweight.
Paq's team = ass.
It doesn't even matter though, for all the old guys and lame ass fights Manny is in, atleast this time he actually chose a fighter that can put some punches toghether.
stopped reading at the bolded. :haha:

Honestly PACMAN is the P4P best out there right now. he dismantled Diaz in his last fight looking great moving and boxing. Yes he is going from 135 to 147 yes he is only 5' 6-7 but he is in tremendous shape and I am pretty sure when he fought Diaz he had already had an idea well before the boxing public knew about the fight. So I think he will be physically and mentally prepared. I don't see him getting embarassed the way others do. Let's face it he is not fighting a prime DLH. DLH in his prime against PACMAN maybe at 140 would have been ideal but DLH is NOT in his prime and the fight is taking place at 147. We as boxing fans should take it for what it is a DREAM MATCH. We all go through the corners of our minds what if Tyson fought Ali or if Fraizer fought RJJ. How about if Tyson would have fought RJJ in their primes but they weren't at the same wieght? RJJ wanted to move up to HW and fought Ruiz a much bigger man. We look at it like DLH is picking on PAC but PAC is choosing to move up to 147 no one is forcing him to do it. I think it will be a good competitive fight and if PAC boxes the way he did against Diaz and keeps his gaurd up for the left hook he should be albe to hit DLH cleanly. Mony May hit DLH hard clean and often......Lefty
I don't give a **** about size..
Old white guys wanna call Paq the "Mexicutioner"...and all that Paq will fight is old Mexican guys. I'm glad he chose Oscar lmao.
Cause if thats all Paq is gonna show his worth against (old fighters), he might aswell choose one that has some worth to him. I mean with the exception of a OLD MARQUEZ...who has Paq beat!?
Think about that...
you'll lose all day trying to discredit the awesome career pac has had. yes he may have some unfinished business with JMM but to imply that he's working an angle here is just BS.
the only angle that pac is working is the one for ATG status and it just so happens that its come at the expense of great mexican warriors.
you're better than this, brah.
The Cotto v Marg size difference was bigger, but Manny moved up in weight so many times this will be ugly. Manny's neck looks thicker..it's thicker than Oscars.
Looking at the pics I'm starting to believe Pacman has a chance. He is after all the worlds #1 boxer, and De La Hoya is getting old....
Naah, I'm dreaming.

Dude, that would be one badass picture to put up for a Presidential run.
DLH: This is De La Hoya, and Pacquiao...
Manny: AND WE APROOOOVE OF DIS MEESAAAAGE! Thank you, good bye...
i dont think oscar is trying to make himself small...
his jacket is even striped...which naturally makes people look taller...(since the stripes are up and down)...
the height difference isnt THAT big...
come on guys...people make too much out of this.
i expect this to be a close good fight.
agreed.
there have been bigger size mismatches in the history of boxing.
at least in this fight the bigger guy is no longer prime.
pac does have some advantages over oscar. hopefully it's enough for a win.
pacquiao will avenge chavez and mexico!!!!!
