I thought this was about De la hoya vs. pacquiao...

By "event fight" I assumed you meant a forgone conlusion of a fight.
The only reason I'm saying anything is because that fight is definitely not a forgone conclusion. Oscar has a solid chance of pulling off the upset. He got sloppy and played into floyd's hands the first go round.. he did the same with Mosely their first go round.. he improved the second time around. I think he would improve a bit against Mayweather as well..
and like I said, DLH is one of only 3-4 people from 154 down that pose a threat to PBF's 0 imo. Thats a small club and I dont think any fight between Mayweather and anybody in that club is just an "event" fight.
If De la Hoya has one more fight left in him, it should be against Cotto, assuming he beats Margarito. I think Cotto should probably win his fight against Margarito, setting up a huge pay day against the Golden Boy. With PBF "retired" this would be the biggest fight possible at the weight class
Shane is stronger physically than Oscar. He benches 325+ which is insane for somebody his size. I dont think it hurt him at all fighting Oscar at a higher weight.
That said, I'm apathetic about this really. I just see Oscar has a load of skills and still has good speed and I've seen him make adjustments in the past. I've yet to see somebody make Floyd come to them with a mouth full of jabs. I think it would be interesting to see floyd in that position. I would love to see what adjustments he would make when his opponent refused to go wild on him(so he could clinch or spin his opponent once they got off balance from missing) when he went to the ropes and opted, instead, to stay outside and chuck one-twos to build up points. I mean, I don't think even you'll argue that Oscar has one of the better jabs in boxing. And, if he did that, Mayweather may get wreckless at some point.
Just let it go man. You cant beat kabuki. Hes a know it all. I've seen it many times. Peace out.

The Pac fight was a joke to begin with, and all parties involved probably knew Roach would never let it happen.
No freaking way. Oscar would be too big for Pacman.
Pacman balloons to about 150 when not training. I can see them meeting at 147.

So Pac should fight at 3 pounds less than his "balloon" weight? Come on. You guys are delusional if you think this is a viable option.
