Younger Oscar at Lightweight vs. Manny at Lightweight

[Benny Leonard]

Since people are making a big deal with the weight issue, how about when Oscar was at lightweight...who would you favor?

To me, there are so many disadvantages Oscar has right now compared to when he was a lightweight. It's those disadvantages/declined attributes, that has Freddie taking this fight. It's why I wouldn't be surprised if Oscar shows up Flat and loses...but also, if he shows up healthy "alive," I could see him landing a big left hook and it's over. Oscar should be using the jab and straight right for the southpaw Manny Pac...go to the body as well.

How good was Oscar at 135?

He got his first marquis win over Chavez at 140, so I don't know much about him at 135.

Anyone want to give me some background on this?

DLH is still too big for Pac... the only equalizer is that DLh wouldn't have much experience... Pac vs. a Green DLh is a close fight but DLH still wins.

Manny no doubt
