Hey I m all for rooting for the underdog but all those who have convinced themselves that size doesnt matter in boxing are kidding themsleves. Sure mnay exampples can be made about the shorter dude with the shorter reach winning, but it usualy is against **** competition. The fact of the matter is ODLH will be heavier carry more power, and most importantly has a 6 inch reach advanatge. ODLH is no bull**** mike tyson opponent, he will use the jab all night and unless he drops it on purpose to make the fight more entertaining pac will not be able to get inside and do what he needs to do. So yeah size matters.

ya but jokes aside I think your right other then the fact that 3 to 4 rounds Oscar is gonna drop it on purpose to make the fight more entertaining........but also he knows he HAS TO WIN this fight because he wants to win the Hatton sweepstakesComment

size is a factor but its not the most important one in a fight, skills can overcome size, the bigger man isnt always the stronger man, and speed is usually on the side of the smaler man
manny has a chance, believe me he has a chance
but in my opinion the main factor against manny isnt size, its his aggressive style which leaves him open for a plethora of counters, and against an opponent of de la hoyas class and power thats not a good thing, hopefully he has tidied up his offence and defence for this fight, if he has then he is in with a good shotComment

"A good big man beats a good little man." I suppose this applies when both fighters are equally good. But DLH is a much better boxer than Pacquiao, plus has the size advantage. Age won't matter here either, Delahoya is not a shot fighter at 35. Pac has ZERO chance to win this one.Comment
