          To outbox Oscar would be a mistake because Oscar is a gold medalist and as smart as they come. Pacquiao has more footspeed but Oscar actually has the faster hands contrary to popular belief. The key to this fight will be Oscar's right. If Roach is right and Oscar takes that extra split second to think everytime be4 he throws a right then Pacquiao wins. And **** what everyone else says Pacquiao DOES have the power to KO dlh and it'll have nothing to do with him being shot. Not saying he will, jus that he's capable.

            pacquiaos reflexes and handspeed both trump Oscars, even in Oscars Prime he wasn't as quick as Pac. It's the way Pacquiao fights that makes him look non flashy, but the guy can nail you right down the pipe even if its telegraphed and still hit you. Everyone who fights Pacquiao complains about his hand speed, even other quick fighters.

              That's quickness but i still say Oscar has faster hands. His preffered way to finish fights isnt to knock guys out cold but to smother with punches until the ref steps in. When Oscar gets going his hands really fly. Look at him work the mitts with Floyd sr on the countdown 2 the forbes fight.

                Pac's fast, but his defense ain't great and he can't avoid DLH 3 minutes of every rd. It's inevitable that he's gonna get hit wit sumthin big at some point, and when he does this fight will end.

                  Closing Wild Card Gym will be a good move of team Pacman.
