Oscar will be hated worse for either a KO or a Decision

[Chups]

he dug his own grave

There's a treasure worth $30 million on it tho.

[Derranged]

I agree, he's screwed with this one.

[extracurRICular]

if he wins by purely outboxing the fuck out of Manny it would look good, as opposed to wobbling him with every left hook he throws

Your on the money dawg....now if he out boxes AND KO's pac...then he gets major mad props...

[djsygo]

hell see how much Pac has for the first 5 rounds, then hell prolly try the knockout in the 6th or the 7th...that way hell get the less hate, fight looks competitive while it lasts

[DiegoFuego]

shouldn't have taken this fight as I said from day one. Pacquiao loses nothing in my eyes unless he's KO'd in the 1st round.

[mspiegelo]

oscar needs to ko manny. it is the best scenario for him, despite how people feel about him bullying around pac. if he doesnt, he looks bad.

i personally will dislike him worse if he ko's manny, cause it is a blatant mismatch and manny is one of my favorites, but if oscar wants respect as an elite welterweight, he needs to ko manny...

[deevel79]

I said this from the minute the fight was announced. Win or lose, its a lose-lose situation for Oscar.

[The_Bull]

How long did it take you to figure that out???

[-MAKAVELLI-]

if he boxes for 12 rounds and doesnt engage with a midget, he also loses

[Benny Leonard]

So am I the only one or one of the few that just doesn't care?

I think Oscar has many disadvantages going into this fight; it's not like this is the Prime version of Oscar...he also has to make 147.

I just want to see a good fight.

How come there wasn't a big stink when Roy moved up to HW?

Or the Giants fighting Chris Byrd?

Fighters in the past have moved way up; I wonder if it was that big of a deal then.


Manny's matured fighting weight (for weigh-ins) seems to be solid in the
130's; and Oscar, prime, 147.
