    Oscar vs Manny should be exciting

    Consider this.

    Oscar vs JCC II was pretty damn exciting even though Chavez got stopped. The fight was fought at Welter, clearly a disadvantage for the 5'7" Chavez. Oscar felt an obligation to stand toe to toe and accept some shots from Julio given his obvious size advantage. I believe he will do the same with Manny. Difference is, Manny, at this point in his career will bring a lot more to the table than JCC did that night.

    Pac is only about an inch shorter than Julio, but he's faster, stronger and hits harder than that version of Chavez. And Oscar is 10 years older than when he fought chavez in the rematch. Given that, the fight should be interesting.

    Forward to about five minutes in.

      Yes sir, the fight will most definitely be exciting while it lasts.
      I am glad the TS gave credit to Oscar about his willingness to stand and trade, usually against out matched opponents he does that. He did that with Gatti as well, when many pointed out that that was the only chance Arturo had of winning.
      Oscar probably wont spend a lot of time trying to box on the outside, I would think he will look to take it right to Pacman.

        Mayweather is 5'8"
        Margarito is 5'11

        Are you saying if Mayweather fought Margarito he would be at a disadvantge and we should discredit the win???

                  Chavez was never a natural Welter for one. Fighting at Welter was clearly an advantage for Oscar. If you don't see that, you need help.

                  Chavez was WAY past his prime when the rematch happened.

                  The fight was still somewhat exciting in spurts especially towards the end. Pac will bring a lot more than Chavez did that night.

                  The only question here could be his chin. Chavez had one of the great ones. Manny's hasn't been tested above 135lbs. Hope it holds up.
