Are these answers a bit biased? They both admitted they were able to get the best of Pac on certain occasions, and so is believed that Amir Khan did. They may be good sparring partners but are them on the level of Oscar? I can hardly believe that...

One Of Them Fed Manny A Steady Stream Of Jabs. There Are Weight Classes For A Reason. When Oscar Wins Will That Make Him A Better Fighter That Manny,not Even In His Prime.

It's a no win sitcha-ation for both Manny and Oscar.

If Oscar wins, he picked on a little guy and Manny was overrated.

If Manny wins, he beat an old, past his prime, Golden Geezer, and Oscar should've not played the bully in the first place.

But...as it happens in boxing, the tables can turn in any event.

Not often, but when it happens, it can be sweet.

It'll be interesting to see how Manny handles the experience and height of Oscar, while dodging jabs and hooks.

I think Many's got a chance since he's always in shape.

"He's over the hill"....

yup, but he will weight in about 160 or so fight night...

I would love to see manny win so that this bastard can hurry up and retire but IF!! he knocks him out, I will be in shock.

WAR MANNY

That's what i've been saying: Pacquiao in 8. If Pacquiao can't get to Oscar by the 8th, then Pacman will win by split decision.

Oscar's a great fighter and he's a nice guy. I don't know him personally, but what i've seen with his PR, he's too much of a nice guy.

nice guys finish last.

I beg to differ. It's a no-win situation for Oscar. If he wins, he'll get no credit. Only way he will is IF he has to WORK for it. If Oscar outclasses Pacquiao through the fight and later knocks him out, the media will be going, "Exactly what we've been saying. No surprise there."

If Oscar loses, his reputation goes down as he's defeated by a smaller fighter. Unless of course, the fight is a competitive one.

Pacquiao has everything to gain and nothing to lose in this fight. If he wins, good for him! If he loses, no problem...they'll say he wasn't meant to.
