Early predictions for de la hoya/pacquiao?

Question

personally, i don't understand how people can rate oscar to be the favorite in this fight, other than the fact that manny is moving up to 147 to fight him...floyd exploited the fact that oscar has slowed down with age, imo manny will just come after him and start a street brawl, which oscar is too slow and old to win

opinions?

Answer 1

pac man will win.  

Answer 2

De La Hoya has the advantage with the power and size but i really don't see what he would get out of this fight

i really don't care who wins cause they are both great in my opinion

Answer 3

thumbs up to benicio, that about sums it up for me too.

Answer 4

DLH's jabs will finish pacman for good

Answer 5

You also forgot to mention that DLH has a power advantage and experience and 147 and beyond advantage. Pacman took a b class to fight at 135 and now he wants to jump to 147? That is ridiculous.

Floyd did not expose anything. He is much much much smarter, quicker, faster, slicker than pacman...not to mention he is a bigger fighter.

DLH will win this fight. He has little to fear in terms of Pacmans punching power.

The only thing that manny has onhis side is that DLH gasses out in the later rounds but I don't think this will be the case in this fight and I don't think the fight will last or be competiive into the later rounds.

Answer 6

I think Manny can put something on Del Annoya late and eke out a decision.  I'm going to need more time to research his fight, but that's my "gut" prediction.

Answer 7

de la hoya is the more likely winner because of power and size. but he really doesn't have much to gain in this fight but the money. he loses its a disgrace. if pacquiao wins, it will elevate his stardom. if he loses, he won't lose anything.

Answer 8

If De La Hoya was 40 he would still win this fight.

Answer 9

No question i say Oscar come on. Forget pac mans power Oscar got hit by boxers who hit alot harder than pac man. Eventhough i dont see pacmans power there at 147. Dont forget oscar has power too.

this is a circus match come on. pac man strted out at 106 lbs he's 5'6. Oscars 5'11 and went up to 160. Come on its gonna be oscar by ko no question
