Oscar De La Hoya v Manny Pacquiao
- Thread starter Don16
- Start date
Me too brother, very exciting to watch and my missus' family are Filipino so they have obvious affection for him.
Will be round my house watching my, aehm, not entirely legal sattelite footage which is absolutely free.

They seem like a strange bunch!
11 of them cramped into a tiny flat, on the 24/7 shows on Sky. Funny stuffwas about to say im coming to yours til i saw the location lol
Not letting you in with those fecking green shorts on, our kid!
My initial thought for this fight would be the obvious one, that De La Hoya will be too big for him at the welterweight limit of 147 lbs.
However, I would like to see Pacquiao pull it off and he does have youth on his side as well, by six years.
Credit to him for going for it either way.

whatever the outcome, Manny deserves the big payday he's undoubtedly going to get from this one.
I dunno, DLH shouldnt be ruled out that easily boys.
He seems pretty into his training regime, and looks fit as a horse.

Alright, but in my gaff we drink proper; proper beer and lot's of it, not like you tarts from London sipping your shandies and going on about 'my manor' and 'absolute diabolical fackin' liberties' and other nonsence in which you like to hear the sound of your own voices...
fecking GUTTED sky have got it.
i think Pac will batter him, tko in the 7th.

my wife is Pinay too. her brother, his sons and her father all love the boxing so I'm sure they'll be watching too.
the wife might even watch this one. hard to get her to watch any boxing but this is Pacquiao so.....
you must not know Oscar De La Hoya then, one of the most accomplished and polished boxers in the last decade or so. Lost 5 i think 1 ko (body shot by Hopkins) but never been battered despite quite a serious resume of opponents
No. No. No. Not at light middleweight. De La Hoya'll be too big and too strong for him. Pacman's moving up from lightweight. He'll be carrying too much weight for his size.
me too. well some of them.
my wife has a lot of friends over here that she went to school with in Manila and tbh only one or two are better looking than my missus. the rest....... 3 baggers.
Oscar inside 7 for me, I like both fighters but I think pacman will struggle with the move up against someone as good as Oscar.
well, thanks for the introduction to Oscar De La Hoya. you'd've thought i'd've known the paper thin facts you kindly distributed...
we'll have to wait and see on the night.

two bags for their head, one for yours?
that's an excellent point. For Pacman to win he'll have to go the distance and win rounds, he won't have the punching power to KO Oscar.
do your own research he has lost to moslet twice, Bernard Hopkins, Floyd Mayweather and Felix Trinidad. In none of these fights, even the Hopkins fight where he was fighting at MW, Hopkins's weight, he was thrashed. If you are going to post at least make informed posts
Love Manny, but worried about the amount of bodyweight he will carry.
But id never count him out..hes a lion

fecking hell, mate. chill out and learn to take a bit of sarcasm.
i'm a massive boxing fan, and have been all my life. at no point is my post 'uninformed'. i just have a different opinion to you
and the logic you're directly adopting, in your last post, is that because someone has never taken a beating, they never will...
what an outstanding conclusion to arrive at.
Thought the following chart was interesting, the fight is also being met with some scepticism:
The two best welterweights in the world at present are Paul Williams and Antonio Margarito. Each man has expressed an interest in fighting De La Hoya, but it would appear that Oscar has no intention of fighting either one of them.
"Oscar will stop Manny within three rounds," said Williams. "I don't want to take anything away from Pacquiao, but his punches won't hurt De La Hoya. Manny is just too small, and Oscar is just too big. That's why we have the different weight classes. The size and weight difference makes it a bad fight."
Margarito is more scornful.
"Now Oscar is getting brave with a 135-pound fighter and is trying to convince everyone that it's a tough fight," Margarito said. "He's getting brave with a great fighter, but a fighter who fights at 135 pounds. He wants to show the world that he can pull the trigger against a 135-pounder. What a man! What a hero!"
WBC president Jose Sulaiman also has gotten into the act.
"What are they going to do?" Sulaiman has asked. "Stuff Manny with tamales and beans, and reduce Oscar in the steam bath to bring them together? It's ridiculous. It's absurd. It's a fraud to the public. The only reason why the fight was made was money."
One of the reasons why De La Hoya ended negotiations with Felix Trinidad for a rematch this year was Trinidad's refusal to come down to 160 pounds. The discrepancy in size between De La Hoya and Pacquiao is significantly greater than the difference between De La Hoya and Trinidad, who fought Roy Jones at 170 pounds in January.

i missed the sarcasm bit
sorry. The point i was making isnt that he wont take a beating it is that even when fighting people bigger more technical proficient he hasnt so i dont see Pacquiao being the person to do it.Thought the following chart was interesting, the fight is also being met with some scepticism:

Mexicans hate oscar, JCC, Morales, Barrera and Margarito are all trying to lead Pac to the ring. Margarito is in no position to talk about ducking as he is avoiding Williams who has taken his title as the most feared man in boxing. Very few peoplw have came out in support of this bout. The next BIG fight we can expect is Cotto Marg rematch in June.
CLK, do you mean Margarito is avoiding a Williams rematch and what is that based on? I thought it was more promoter problems, he seems the type who would want another go at him after he lost the previous fight and had complaints afterwards. Especially after he proved himself against Cotto as well. He is scheduled to fight Shane Mosley in January unless it has been called off.
Yeah he is fighting Mosley but only after initially turning it down. He has been avoiding Williams as has Cotto, Mayweather and numerous other people. Williams was once his sparring partner for camp against Santos i think (im not100%) and Williams beat him pretty badly thus he was sent away (the same thing happened with Ortiz and ODLH for this fight).
Williams was persuing a fight with Margarito which would have taken place tomorrow but Margarito turned around and said im not fighting until next year thus Williams will be fighting Phillips for the WBO jr middleweight title and relinquishing his Welter version of the belt.
Williams has called out numerous boxer through out his career but he is too much of a risk due to his size and punch out put. he is 6ft1 has a ridiculous reach and throws 100 plus punches a round thus you can see why.

15 quid here i can order or my friend will, i cant be bothered to go to his house so ile probably watch it here.
Costs me nowt our kid! I'll be taking the box round to my father-in-laws though, he's Filipino so him and his mates can watch Manny go at it, he's a national institution over there so obviously it's a big thing for them
I'll let you borrow my missus for a bit then mate
