    well the 4 midgets would have to be a combined weight of 147.

Pacquiao's got the typical short slim asian frame. As ripped as he looks for a little guy he wouldnt stand a chance fighting at his everyday weight. In a couple years of careful weightgain of muscle maybe...But not 7months from now.

      I agree, Pac would have to get his body acustomed to fighting at a higher weight. But after a while he could obtain the body frame of a true welterweight, like Whitaker did.

        I don't see much sense in this right now, but if Manny wants to make some big bucks, then good for him.. He deserves it

          Pacquiao wouldnt meet Morales at a catchweight of 132 now he's moving up to 135 and that would be pushing it for Pac...It would definitley be a lose-lose financially and reputation wise, but fighting De La Hoya could get Pacquiao hurt bad. If Pacquiao gets past Diaz and this proposed De La Hoya fight actually happens I see it possibly being Pac's last fight.

            For $30 million, I don't think Pacquiao would sweat the L. I don't think he has any chance if he fights DLH because of the size difference, but the money would be too great to turn down. What makes it financially feasible is that a lot of Filipino fans would actually expect Pacquiao to KO DLH and would shell out money for this sideshow.

                    why

                    This makes no sense. He can make good money fighting david diaz why fight oscar. Yea he can make 30 million in one night but it may en his run as an elite fighter. This guy {oscar} held a belt at middle weight you started your run as a flyweight. let it be this one is not for you manny.

                      dlh's not as good a counterpuncher as JMM but DLH has the power to KO Pac... Pac just needs to look out for the left-hook and he should be ok. Besides, Roach trained DLH and knows DLH's weaknesses. That said Pac is a pretty big underdog.
