History is written by those who appreciate it... The potential for Manny to make history is there with boxing and non-boxing fans alike... Nae sayers won't be saying too much if he overcomes this challenge.... You say he loses 3 times but Pacquiao sees a challenge of proving you wrong and propeling himself beyond where people like you would like to see him end up...

Dude I don't even care if Pac is able to beat Oscar, he's ruining himself by doing this to his body. You want him to win big name circus events. I didn't care when Oscar got a middleweight title, whether deserving it or not. ''Ohhh noone did that in 6 weight classes he's amazing!'' No **** he's amazing, he's Oscar Dela ****in Hoya! Say what you will about him, haters, he's had a more impressive amateur career than the careers of most professional champs. He went to middleweight and ruined himself. Roy went to heavyweight and ruined himself. Toney went and hit heavyweight right before he fought Jones, and he didn't even fight anyone. He still ruined himself (temporarily)! You want Oscar to go nearly 20 lbs above where he was not even 1 year ago and fight one of the greatest 147 LBers of all time. People don't even regard DLH all that highly, they begged him not to fight Mayweather again. This fight is as ****** as it is dangerous, and to me it would be more impressive to clear out the division he's in right now and not just move onto a mega payday after beating a paper champ.Comment

Unify at lightweight and perhaps fight Hatton.Comment

Ahahahah I was planning on going broke for that same bet too! Why do we bet on these old fogies? I love em, but damn it's impossible to predict whether these senior citizens are serious about the damage they claim they will inflict in the press conferences, or if they just missed their 5 o' clock nap to do an interview and are just tired and cranky.Comment

Oscar will be Oscar and had he beat B-Hop, that woulda made him that much greater than he is today. Just by "beating" Felix S. and winning a belt seemed to have had added to his legacy by notching another division under his belt. Pacquiao's career is winding down and beating the Valeros/ Sotos will be expected of him at this stage and will be a fleeting moments to a great career. Pac is already great but an opportunity has arisen that has the potential to bring is legacy to another level... DLH is far from Ruiz who I predicted would loose to Roy anyway. Roy Jones put on a lot of weight and had to adjust getting back down a division... Pacquiao plans to fight at a weight he has already been fighting (144lbs -146lbs. hydrated) at so going back down won't hurt him much.Last edited by Alibata; 08-21-2008, 05:57 PM.Comment
