Re: ESPN: DLH Vs Pacquiao, Dec. 6 @ MGM Grand

I never called you my homeboy, don't flatter ya self catdaddy. Btw, you hatin on an undefeated, P4P, future HOF fighter...and you telling me that I don't know Boxing??? i won't even go into my own backround in boxing...

But I will tell you this much...This life has taught me a lot, and i don't pretend to know it all...but I do know this...Respect is a two way street, & so is disrespect. It's up to you to choose which road you want to travel.

I'll give you a list of fighters Oscar ducked...

W. Wright
P. Williams
J. Clottey
A. Margarito
The Latin Snake
M. Cotto
R. Jones Jr.

Want more?

C. Baldimir
Z. Judah
S. Dzindziruk
...and he still don't want rematches with Mosley, & even Trinidad.

I hate Oscar and I find this disturbing. I just don't discuss boxing with youtube'rs who don't understand the fight game or the business. You are on the ignore list.

What is this dude talking about youtubers??? I don't mess with youtube, myspace, or facebook like that...I run my own websites. I don't get it. Good looking out on the ignore list though...less trash I'll have to take out.

Ducking a fight with the Latin Snake? Come on now. Thats easy pickens. The Latin Snake is a fraud. DLH more than likely didn't feel it was worth the time. The Latin Snake wouldn't take a championship fight against Taylor because he was scared.

Look, I'm not a fan of Oscar. His boxing matches are borderline fixed exhibitions at this point, but he would take on and defeat these welterweights if the money was right and it provided benefit for Golden Boy Promotions. He's all about the $ right now, it has nothing to do with ducking anybody.

Bumping this instead of making a new thread.

Still debating on a prediction for this one.

A true tossup.

Re: ESPN: DLH Vs Pacquiao, Dec. 6 @ MGM Grand

Not a De La Hoya guy, I've never liked him and I don't know why. But after today's presser by some guy affiliated with Pacquiao (don't wanna get into it, against the TOS), I want De La Hoya to shut him up.

Re: ESPN: DLH Vs Pacquiao, Dec. 6 @ MGM Grand

Many are picking DLH but I am not sure how Pac will look at this weight. Let's say he is just as quick and powerful at that weight, he could win by decision. Pac will stay active and win rounds with that type of activity.

Re: ESPN: DLH Vs Pacquiao, Dec. 6 @ MGM Grand

In a perfect world with perfect gameplans and such, ODLH would absolutely destroy Manny. But as we have all seen (Tito, PBF, etc...), Oscar is incapable of executing a 12 round gameplan.

I am still debating, but I am leaning towards Pac right now. I have two more days to make a call.

Re: ESPN: DLH Vs Pacquiao, Dec. 6 @ MGM Grand

Huge Pac fan here. Pac is obviously the heavy underdog, and that will become much more apparent when the world sees just how much smaller he is than DLH tomorrow in the ring. I think the main thing for Pac is to stay mobile and avoid getting hit flush, and if he makes it past the 6th round, DLH will gas out and Pac could have a field day with the Golden Boy's face. I'm just afraid he'll get caught in those first 6 rounds with one of DLH's left hooks and he's out.

I would like to see De La Hoya humble Pacquiao...not too quickly though as in other high profile fights lol

I just keep envisioning that hook that put down Mayorga from DLH.

Re: ESPN: DLH Vs Pacquiao, Dec. 6 @ MGM Grand

DLH by TKO 6th

Re: ESPN: DLH Vs Pacquiao, Dec. 6 @ MGM Grand

DLH by TKO 6th

That's what I am predicting as well..Pac is too small and he has fundamental flaws that a bigger talented fighter will take advantage of..He still lunges too much and keeps his chin up when he pulls out He will be ripe for a DLH left hook...If Marquez hurt him what do you think DLH will do to him?..This fight is purely about money for both sides and it's a shame...

Re: ESPN: DLH Vs Pacquiao, Dec. 6 @ MGM Grand

Its hard to say. Its almost like DLH fights are fixed. I am sure he's more concerned about the promotion of this than the actual fight. One thing is for sure, it will be close. No way Pac KO's DLH....and if DLH KO's Pac, it won't be early, it will be after many close rounds.

Because Pacquiao is not already humble??? If anything it would be the other way around.

And regardless of the outcome, Pacquiao is gonna be viewed as a hero and a venerable fighter while DLH is gonna look like the big bully.

You are right..And what irks me the most is that DLH is tryimg to make this look like this is the biggest challenge in his career and that Pac is the biggest threat out there..please this is all about the money and in reality he has built in excuses..if he loses he can say taking the weight off was too draining and affected him during the fight..he is a scam artist period and for a fightr who has lost every big fight he has been in he sure gets a bunch of respect....Williams, Margarito. Clottey, or even Judah would have been a career threatening challenge.....
