Wouldnt suprise me to see Oscar throw the fight in order for the rematch with bigger $$ then before..
BINGO!!!
And GBP also has rights over Pacman, so he earns if Pac wins and sets up a megafight with Hatton and Mayweather, fighters who doesn't want to fight dela Hoya. There's also the possibility of PAC-JMM3, so don't be surprised if the underdog wins, because these fights doesn't happen if Pacman loses.
Don't underestimate the power of money. :D Oscar has more to gain financially if he loses this fight.

I'm so back and forth on this fight right now. I'm leaning towards Delahoya, but I'm definitely not dismissing Manny like everyone else seems to be. If the Oscar that fought Floyd shows up, I honestly think Manny could pull it off. If the Oscar that was throwing combinations against Forbes shows up, it will be a long night for Manny.
I just can't make up my mind because of the weight issue for both of them. For all we know, Oscar could look good for the first few rounds like he did against Floyd and then just burn out! Guess it depends on which Oscar shows up that night!
Oscar SHOULD rip his head off with a left hook, and Pac SHOULDNT be able to hurt someone as big as Oscar. Seeing his sparring pictures, Pac looks wide open for a left while jumping up to hit a bigger man. But after the Hopkins v Pavlik fight, who the **** knows anymore. I still got Oscar by KO in 8.
10K Oscar doesn't KO Pacman :D

Oscar de la Hoya is a better, bigger, stronger fighter. He will win by clean KO. 10 count. Out cold. How ever you want to put it. Pacquiao will need medical attention and will most likely be unconscious.

Who you got??
despite the popular opinion of boxingscene i think its going to be a close fight that really could go either way...
however i lean towards oscar for his experience and intelligence.
Given how close oscar fought floyd and how fresh and young he looked against his forbes in his tune-up fight it shows he has something left to give and possibly could beat the p4p champion of the world which is a major accomplishment at his age...
Pacquiao is also very qualified to win this fight with his youth advantage and skill set...he has stength and speed that should give oscar problems for the opening few rounds but i expect oscar to wise up and begin to time pacman.
I think theres also a good chance that oscar's conditioning has improved and he may not tire out going into the championship rounds (like we usually see).
should be a very close fight.
oscar by split decision.
