Bob Arum Crushes De La Hoya At East LA Press Conference

Bro im not saying **** about the Mexican fans. Im just saying DLH really doesnt care like some believe he does.

 

I'm not a big Arum guy, but he's anything but a terrible promoter. He helped turn Hoya and Mayweather into stars. He built up Cotto in manner that made everyone believe he was Roberto Duran incarnate. Margo was an unknown, hard nosed fighter who was fighting for table scraps and until Arum dedicated some real time to promoting him. Arum is a pretty smart guy. He sees that boxing has turned into a niche sport that is heavily supported by the Latino community. He's focused most of efforts on obtaining and building latin fighters. It's for this reason that he's still at the top of the sport and why King has faltered.

 

I just can't picture a Mexican fight fan rooting for Pac come fight night, but I can see them giving Pac his due like they always do. They are(Mexicans rooting for Pac) out there, but that number is so minute...for Arum to point out which Mexican fans will be backing Pac is utterly ridiculous, especially when those guys he named, imo have agenda with Dlh. JMO lol...

 

Only way he gets the Mex respex is he beats Cotto, Caldaron and Tito in Puerto Rico the way Sanchez did. He might win against Tito and Cotto but Iron Boy already schooled him.

 

But you truly don't know that...How could you know that?

 

I don't really look at it like King has faltered. It is just Arum's time. He does what he has to do. He makes money for himself. Yeah, we get some of the fights that we want from him, but never at the times we want to see them.

 

San, it is still a good thread:good Nothing personal. You have started some good threads.

 

You get dumber by the day....

 

Ok I dont know it for a fact. So ill rephrase it I dont THINK DLH cares like some people think he does.

 

I am black with Shinnecock blood in me, and if Pac were fighting a prime Dlh, I'd pick Dlh by ko. I'm picking PAc to beat Dlh because Dlh imo has everything going against him. Weight, age, reflexes... Pac has the speed, and he is still in his prime. Who ever wins, the crowd will respect both fighters, only if it is a good/great fight.

 

How is the weight agianst him ? How do we really know who has the speed. We know how fast DLH is at 150 still very VERY fast and I doubt getting to 147 will change that. Now Pacquiao is moving up 12 more pounds 17 pounds in just 9 months. Theres a great chance his speed will decrease. Even then it doesnt mean a damn thing because DLHs jab and punching power is to much for a guy like Pacquiao who has no footwork or balance and eats to many shots as it is.

 

Pac is faster than Dlh at this stage of his career. That is my opinion. Pac can eat how he wants, work with a world class trainer/nutrition(is Shilstone helping PAc) and gain muscle. I expect Dlh's jab to give PAc problems, but I also expect the speed/and power of Pac to present an older Dlh with major problems. The weight think guys overrate Pac with will not get me to budge and call him a legend if he wins. It is a smart move by Pac and Roach.
