People criticize Floyd so much, they don't even want to give him credit for beating Oscar. However, everyone is saying Oscar will brutally KO Manny because of the size difference, so if Manny wins, he will be universally cheered.
What these people don't realize is that the weight disparity between Oscar and Manny will be LESS than it was between Oscar and Floyd when they fought.
Oscar weighed in at 154 and Floyd at 150, yet at fight night Oscar was 167 and Floyd 148. This is a NINETEEN pound weight advantage for Oscar. Roach has said Manny will weigh in about 140 and weigh 145 on fight night. Having to weigh-in at 147 vs. Manny means Oscar will be, at most, 160 on fight night. This will be a FIFTEEN pound weight advantage for Oscar.
Manny weighed 144 for his fights at 130, so this show how big he really is because he needs to drain himself a lot to make weight. Floyd rarely put on more than 5 pounds on fight night, he even LOST 2 when he fought Oscar.
What I love about this is that by saying how Manny will get brutally KO'd, the haters are giving Floyd credit without realizing it, because the fact that everyone gave Floyd a much better chance than they are giving Manny shows that they do recognize Floyd has superior skills.
Oscar has a 19-pound advantage on Floyd (who is P4P #1) at the time, and if Floyd beats him he just beat an old man. Oscar has a 15-pound weight advantage on Manny (who is P4P #1), but he is gonna brutally KO him in 5 because of the size difference. Isn't this ironic?

He had to put metal in is pockets to actually "make weight."
