Your miles wrong. Oscar generally only weighs 162-163 in the ring as a Light-Middleweight. How on earth would he hit 170, after weighing in at 147, 18 hours before.

Pacquaio was in the ring weighing 147 as a ligtweight. The Welter limit. He will easily be 150 or even above at Welter. 

As for being &quot;brave&quot; Farang. Oscar has already fought pretty much the biggest middleweight in the last 30 years. He struggled with the weight against a tiny Sturm, and Hopkins was huge compared to Felix.

Oscar vs. Hopkins was a huge mismatch. As in, Hopkins has already bullied Kelly around physically at light-heavy!?

Beggers belief that you can call Oscar afraid to face Kelly, when he&#039;s already faced the guy who just schooled him.

And I should add, Oscar was ahead on a score card in that bout, before he got stopped. He put on a great performance</description>

		<description>Oscar will not enter at 170 or anywhere close.  Absolutely no way.  He is not a chronic drainer.   The guy stays in shape and will have to be in great shape to make 147.

BTW, if Oscar fought Pavlik, he himself would be 4 inches shorter...</description>

		<description>You fail to state Oscar would come in to the fight @ 170 or so after making weigh-in, and Pacquiao would be lucky to hit 147.

I think a much better opponent for brave Sir Oscar of the Hoya&#039;s last fight would be to challenge for Pavlik&#039;s Middleweight title, seeing as how brave sir Oscar of the Hoya has weighed in at 154 or so for his last 5 fights. Like you said, he had to strip naked to make 150 in May, so he is right there to fight at 160.

THAT is an even fight. Looking for men 4 inches shorter and twenty pounds lighter to fight?

For El Pollo type fighters.

Or, could it be brave brave brave sir Oscar of the Hoya is  afeared of Kelly?</description>
