    How is DLH-PAC a mismatch in size??..

    Ok about 90% of people here always say Paul Williams, Margarito, etc..Deserve to be at WW so as long as they can make weight right?..ok I also agree..

    Now there were special stipulations to this fight DLH said he would come in at 147 on FIGHT NIGHT!..and he'll be fined 3 million dollars for each pound he comes in over on FIGHT NIGHT..

    I'm guessing that still gives Pacquiao the liberty to come in at any weight he wants on fight night..Which he walked in at 147 on fight night vs David Diaz..

    So the only real disadvantage here is that Pacquiao is 5'6 and DLH is 5'10..they'll weigh just about the same..

    which is no difference than Margarito (5'11) vs Cotto (5'8)..or even Williams (6'1 or 6'2) vs Quintana (5'9)

    Right?..

    Pac is used to getting hit by jr lightweights. JM Marquez rocked him in the second fight, how will he handle a middle weights power?

      well I'm pretty sure he's preparing by getting hit by jr middleweights in sparring..Not saying a solid left hook from DLH wouldn't possibly put Pac-man in a coma..

      But what I'm getting at is that DLH won't come in at 160 and Pacquiao at 147..

      DLH will be drained and prolly KO'd..

      might just be me tho!.

        Listen, DLH would never agree to be 147 on fight night, he has to be 147 at the weigh in not at fight night, he can rehydrate, DLH wouldn't take that risk.

        One has been fighting at 154 and 160 for the past 6 years, the other has just moved up to 135 6 months ago.

            Well I got points on Pac. But they got weight classes for a reason, you never know how a fighter will preform on any givin night, esp. with weight issue's like this. But I agree that it will be a tougher fight then people think.

                No problems.

                The only way the weight works in Pacquiao's favor is if DLH has to drain himself severely to make 147, which I don't think he will, it will affect him but I doubt he will be weight drained.

                  It's a mismatch in size because Pacquiao has been at least 4 divisions below DLH for his whole career before this May/June, when they were "only" 15.5 lbs apart.

                  However, DLH might drain himself making 147, where hasn't fought at since 2001.

                    i give pac a serious chance, and think he could possibly win.
