The 2000 version of Oscar beats the brakes off of Manny easily. He would jab him to death.

Oscar By TKO 4. Tbh i see a 2000 ODLH beating pac faster than a 2001 Mosley due to Oscar's amazing prime boxing ability. I see ODLH dropping pac in Rd1 by that classic counter left hook as Pac is lunging in with that straight left, then Oscar handily and brutally outboxes him to a stoppage, Kenny Bayless enjoys his loud count to 8 and the waves it off IMO.Comment

Oscar would be the favorite to win for obvious reason. And, honestly he should be.
However 3 things that work against him against Pac.
Oscar for big fights didn't deliver against prime fighters. Pac in 2010 is prime and it would of been a BIG fight.
Oscar didn't look spectacular against southpaws.
And, Oscar in 2000 had stamina issues and against Pac speed and work rate could of been a big issue late in the fight.Comment

Quite frankly, Pacquiao has edges in a lot of categories here but Oscar was no slouch himself and had that mean equalizer in that left hand. And a sturdy chin to boot. I'm not quite sure what happens in this one but it wouldn't have surprised me to see Pac confuse and frustrate Oscar enough to win a close decision. Oscar cries foul afterwards.Oscar would be the favorite to win for obvious reason. And, honestly he should be.

I agree man, and honestly I would favor Oscar to win... But, like you said it wouldn't surprise if Pac won.... And, I just don't see is a clear cut victory for Oscar like some people on here do.Quite frankly, Pacquiao has edges in a lot of categories here but Oscar was no slouch himself and had that mean equalizer in that left hand.
