          But Pac has speed, and speed always gave Dlh problems.

            Sorry, but overhyping Pac's limitations is a sin. Pac wanted the fight, he got the fight. This is a very beatable Dlh. Dlh is not prime...I repeat, Dlh is not in his prime. Dlh is older than when Floyd fought him, and at a lower weight. So please, stop with the exaggerations.

              I don't want to hear anything Arum has to say about any fight. Pac has a great chance to not only win, but stop Dlh. I think the fight goes the distance. Both have superb chins.

                How do you know how Pac's body/chin will react to 135 punchers let alone Oscar who is not some kind of *****. Also Oscar is a much better technical boxer and that should serve Oscar well in putting it on Pacman. If the fight see the final bell I will be shocked.

                Oscar parlayed with the under is my bet

                  I've seen this happen my whole life. Guys coming up in weight feel a whole lot better than guys who have to lose. Dlh is older, and will have to work hard to make weight. If he uses a nutritionist to lose weight, he will be ko'd. If he works hard, and loses, he will be better off. He still won't have time to replenish his body like he should. If Dlh wins, he will have to use all of his skills because I believe his body will fail him fighting at 147. Dlh's height will be the biggest advantage in this fight imo. Dlh's jab might bother Pac early, but Dlh won't be able to sustain that jab.

                    If Pacquiao was a decent skilled boxer boxer he would have a shot, but fighters with his style will not be able to come up like that. Oscar will not have to worry about endurence because the fight will not last past 8 rounds. Big man beats little man happeans more often then not.

                      Style, speed, whatever advantages Pac thinks he has won't matter against a guy as big as DLH.
