Does PACMAN could stand against the legendary Golden BOy?

The real question is:
Will Pac Man FALL against the legendary Golden Boy?
Manny is brave to move two divisions up to fight Oscar. It will definitely be the toughest fight of his career. If he had trouble against Marquez, boy will he be in for one hell of a fight.
Oscar is just so much bigger, taller, more skillful, and with a longer reach. He will be favored pretty big to win this fight.
Freddie Roach's key plan to win going into the fight is what's actually thought to be Manny's weakness; Oscar's weight. Oscar wants to fight at 150, but Freddie is trying to push for 147. On top of that, Roach is pushing for a same-day (as the fight) weigh-in.
Training for this fight would be a struggle on Oscar's weight. He would be deprived of eating certain things, while Manny would eat comfortably while training.
“That’s why I want the fight at 147. Oscar struggled to make 147. He was supposed to be 150 for Forbes and he couldn’t make it. He came in a pound over but they let it go. We want the fight but we can’t give him every advantage he wants.’’ -- Freddie Roach
I say it would still be a really tough fight for Manny.

I don't think so. Pacman is fighting two weight classes over his natural weight class (126 pounds). To fight De la Hoya he would have to go up two more weight classes (147). Pacquiao would not knock De la Hoya out, nor his body would sustain 12 active rounds with all that weight. This fight should not happen.

I think he does. He can move in and out, just like in the Diaz fight. But don't expect a KO.

no, de la hoya is too big and strong for pacquiao, just as hopkins was too strong for de la hoya.
