    De La Hoya obviously has wear and tear, he's officially an ageing fighter, this we know. Pacquiao is at his peak, this too we know judging from his brutal disposal of Diaz in his previous fight. But jumping two divisions at once is a huge step. The only instance of a fighter having great success in recent years doing this was Mosley bypassing 140 to beat - coincidentally - Oscar back in 2000. And at least Mosley was a natural lightweight, in fact he was a very big strong lightweight who fought hard to get his weight down to 135 for contests. Pacquiao I'd say, judging from his frame, is a natural featherweight. But he has added a lot of muscularity to his frame since 2002, when he was jr. -featherweight. He looks like a scaled down IFPB competitor nowadays. And he carries it well without sacraficing speed. But now he has to fight Oscar who walks around probably at about 170lbs. And Oscar, as much as he is ageing, isn't yet an old man. He isn't a dud. He isn't like JC Chavez was when Oscar bludgeoned him years ago. He's still active, he's still live, and he's still dangerous. His left hook still finds the target and guess what, it hurts. He can't sustain his workrate for 12 rounds but just looking at his body frame and comparing it to Pac Mans, then comparing both of their skills, I just see Oscar winning. What can Pac do? His speed is brilliant and he'll press initially, but once he eats a few big left hooks, a couple 1-2's, even when he gets that jab cattleprodded into his face for two or three rounds he'll get discouraged. If he doesn't he'll get knocked out. Oscars upper-body is like that of a middleweight.

      Pac will lose but all I care about is him goin downs swingin. I just hope he bloodies a nose or a lip or sumthin before he gets KO'd. As long as he gets sumthin on DLH, I'm cool wit that. I know he ain't gonna win.

          Discrediting Pacman now so that Calzaghe will be P4P best, it’s quite sad the length you Calzaghe fans go to. Absolutely show no shame hyping him up and discrediting Pacman.

            Can't blame them, their man Calzaghe can't stand on his own merit.

              So many doubters out there and often proven wrong. This won't be an easy fight for both but I think Pacman will walk away the victor.
