What do you think of De La Hoya vs. Pacquiao?

[Replies: 850]
Only a couple more weeks remain before the fight. There are two 24/7s under foot and two more to go.

Do you think Manny will be able to handle the weight? Do you think Oscar can "pull the trigger?"

"Oscar is the best after Mayweather." Hmmm??? I assume the first boxing match you ever watched in your life was May 5, 2007 (de la Hoya-Mayweather.) That's the only explination for this ridiculous post.

EXPERTS are HUMAN BEINGS and IT JUST A "title", they can make mistakes as well so whatever happens tonight maybe possible,,, also, if people are saying it is a MISMATCH... 2 to 1 underdog is not a MISMATCH in a boxing FIGHT

haha, ok, the experts are full of shit, thats what u say...
first of all, oscar does not decide whos put on the 24/7 episodes, thats HBO, and oscar does not pay people to talk good things about him either, how manny negative things did freddy roach and pac say about him? they said he was gonna ko oscar and that he knew him well enough and that he does not obey what the trainers say, did oscar pay for that to be put on tv?? no, oscar does not pay, who pays is hbo, and they dnt pay for what they say, they pay because the are allowin them to film everythin they do. Use common sence.

The experts are full of shit. I would say he is great just so he could put me on T.V. and throw a couple of grand my way, and have me on contract for a job. If you said something negative about him, would he put you on 24/7?. No! That's why you keep hearing wonderful stuff about him....

The loss to BHop was fishy. I remember him hitting the canvas with his fists, but he could of pulled himself with the other hand. Then he gets up with a smile on his face. Any other fighter wouldn't be smiling, they be pissed. B Hop was too much for DLH. I also believe that Felix Sturm was given a raw deal. He beat DLH, but he lost so that Bhop and DLH could meet up. Pacquiao is a better fighter than Mayorga, and Forbes, what gives you the impression that DLH will beat a better opponent, like Pacquiao? DLH will look like Chris Byrd from the weight loss and get dropped and the fight stopped. DLH always had the left hook, he just hasn't used it, and once he gets hit from both sides, he'll forget that he has a left hook.

ODLH has only charisma but not so many talents... throughout his career he always lost to these big FIGHTS! MOSLEY, B-Hop, PBF, In the last couple of years he lost his 4 of his 6 fights and been fighting once in a year, reducing weights from 160 and fighting at this type of weight category and also his age would get Oscar's ass whoop tonight.... SPEED and Power based on boxing history would be the key for PAC and i think that he is on his prime right now... REMEMBER he step in the ring 147 or something in his last fight against David Diaz and he had trouble making 135 weight, hence, PAC is comfortable in this weight class

First of all, like of the people from the forums said, no one ever made pacquiao sign a contract. He called out oscar, why oscar??? because he knows that oscar is still one of the best, if not the best after mayweather. Everyone is also talkin smack about that oscar is bigger and that this is his weight division and that paquiao is smaller and blah blah blah, stop talkin shit man... admit it, oscar is better than pacquiao, im gonna say the same thing i said yesterday, freddy roach and all of manny's team have said that size and weight is not an issue.

Everyone stop talkin shit about oscar, he will be the best tonight and hes gonna ko manny, i dnt know why people are talkin so much shit about him, all of u shit talkers are still gonna see the damn fight and then u will realize that oscar is still the best regardless of him being a businessman, that has notin to do with him being a boxer...
just watch the fight and see oscar ko manny out. ONCE THAT HAPPENS DNT TALK SHIT ANYMORE.

I think Oscar has turned into a hypocrite and another Don King by picking small guys to fight (Forbes, Pacman, Hatton etc) and hence lost all respect I had for him...

He always was; he didn't just turn. And it is true Vargas had been ruined by Tito and Quartey, and that was the only reason Oscar chose to fight him.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Vargas was an idiot and still an idiot. He was too inexperienced to take on Tito and right after he was NEVER the same. Yes he did call out Oscar (seething with so much anger and hatred) and Oscar refused because at any given time, any boxer that has EVER fought Oscar or called him out did so PURELY because of $$$ (except Tito).
Until today Vargas has NEVER been able to explain his dislike of Oscar meaning we can all deduce that to be nothing but jealousy.
If Vargas was a true warrior, how can you explain his loss to Mayorga who is a bum and can not fight for shit?
He was beaten fair and square by Oscar even though he was juiced up and then after the fight still has the audacity to say his back was hurt and that's why Oscar agreed to fight him.
I think Oscar has turned into a hypocrite and another Don King by picking small guys to fight (Forbes, Pacman, Hatton etc) and hence lost all respect I had for him but against Vargas he was the better man in and outside the ring - and he's just as Mexican as Vargas is.

I remember oscar saying that he would never give vargas a chance to make a big payday, that he would never fight him. Little did I realize that he meant he was afraid of vargas. Then vargas got softened by quartey and tito. Suddenly, oscar felt disrespected by vargas and decided to fight him!

Hey fitzgeraldrocks..

I have a great memory when it comes to boxing..
When Vargas was knocking everyone out he called DLH out several times. Yes,,he was talking some trash,,
Because of this Oscar said, and I quote. "I will never never, never fight Vargas. Face it Fitz..DLH was afraid of Vargas big time. Then Trinidad knocks Vargas out...Then Vargas gets knocked down by the powder puff punching Wilfredo Rivera...Then, and only then does DL decide to fight Vargas..After he and the whole world have discovered that Vargas had a glass jaw.
"I know right where to punch him" said DLH at the Vargas press conference. Of course, by that time the whole word knew where to punch Vargas(By the way..Vargas was a true warrior, not a business man.)

I'm getting tired of this he's 2 small shit-nobody made Pac sign a freaking contract-stop freaking stop acting so scary. Pac and Freddy aren't talking about a size differential-so while are yall.

Has it ever occured to yall that Oscar might be a little weaker-given the fact that he hasn't fought @ this weight class in many years? I'm waiting to see how much Oscar weighs on fight night-but if their around the same size-put a sock in it please-I'm tired of all the excuses-this fight is fair now that I think about it. Oscar has Pac by quite a few years-he's loss quite a bit to pull this fight off.

Another thing you guys keepmissing is Pac and big mouth Freddie called Oscar out. Did any 1 say Chris Byrd was 2 small when he went from HW and dropped more than 25lbs to LHW and got his clock cleaned-NO. So I know how much yall adore Manny-but he called Oscar out so now it's on.

This is a big money fight and if Oscar doesn't out weigh him by 10 lbs come fight night put a sock in it. Stop making excuses. I like Pac and if he wins I would be happy-but as an old fan of Oscar, I'm going for him. Oscar has trained his heart out and he really wants to perform well.

@ 1ST I talked alot of shit about this fight-but it took the 24/7 4 me 2 change my mind-these guys really work hard to put on a show 4 us.
