Who do you think will win between Manny Pacquiao and Oscar de la Hoya?

Question

what are your thoughts about this fight which will happen on December 6?

For me, I really hope Manny would win, but his opponent is not just an ordinary boxer...its de la Hoya...

Answer 1

Manny will win.. I agree with Roach.. If Oscar will train hard and regain speed, well for Manny its natural.. he'll be focusing on maintaining his strength and speed along with his questionable endurance.. I think Oscar will struggle as he does with his past brawls against his southpaws opponent.. Manny is different and almost all of his opponents was left on the canvas shocked and surprized by his God-given talent.. Marco was upset..3k underestimated pacman.. erik was knockd down for the first time of his career..solis is never been undefeated.. diaz has miscalculated his speed.. what more?.. lets see..  

Answer 2

Both fighters has chances of winning and losing in this fight. The difference is that Manny Pacquiao has a higher risk of losing, because of the extra weight he needs to gain and at the same time, he must maintain his speed and power. No more new tricks for him this time, he just need to comeout there in great condition.

On the otherhand, Oscar Dela Hoya has a lower risk of losing this fight because all he needs to do is lose weight and pay for the extra pounds, if that is still part of the contract w/c I believe he can afford to pay. And his skills and other advantages like his weight, height, reach & power is already enough to put Manny Pacquiao to test.

Answer 3

I think Oscar by KO. Oscar is just too big for Manny. Remember Manny started boxing at 108 lbs. Now for the first time he's going to move up to 147, and not fighting a walk overopponentt. He's going to the top. who knows if manny's power will even be there at this weight. Anyways Oscar can take a punch, and has been hit hard by people that hit a lot harder than manny. Dont forget Oscar packs a punch as well..

Answer 4

I think Manny Pacquiao will win but it will not be an easy fight for him.

Answer 5

I think Oscar will fight a very tactical fight which will boring by his standards and win on points (maybe not unanimously).  I would like to see Manny win but I think he's too undersized to win against Oscar - unless Oscar is too drained from dropping to 147 (which he hasn't fought at for some time and it's harder to lose weight at his age) and Manny can maintain his speed and agility by gaining to 147.
