De La Hoya: "Pacquiao Doesn't Hit Hard"

Oscar is just saying this to get the Hatton fans pumped up into thinking Ricky has a chance.

 

I did'nt believe DLH when he made it public that Mayweather coud'nt crack an egg....and he said this during the lead up to Mayweather-Hatton....where undoubtedly DLH was trying to hype Hatton.
.....I did'nt believe DLH then because Mayweather had actually stunned and made DLH's legs fold underhim a couple of times from Mayweather single shots.....

.....this is'nt the case with Pacquiao however.....Pac hit DLH at will with his best punch, the straight left at will....and not once, not even when DLH was backing to the ropes from fatigue, did I see DLH's legs do a jelly dance.
...thats key for me....

Mayweather was able to stun a relatively fresh DLH with single placed shots, something that Pacquiao could not do with a battered DLH.

 

:good

 

Mayweather is a better puncher than Pacquiao. That doesn't really make Pacquiao weak. Just look at Oscar's face after that fight. Oscar reminds me of elementary school where you would punch a kid and he would say "Didn't hurt!" before running off and crying to a teacher about it.

Manny would have knocked Oscar out if he hadn't quit and de la Hoya wouldn't even remember whether or not the punches hurt. Hell, he took such a beating anyway, that is probably what loosened his memory.

 

Pac has not fought Julio Diaz.

 

As usual Oscar loses with disgrace. I remember when Hopkins beat him, he suggested that the fight was very easy. Yeah, it was easy for Hopkins.

 

Thats true, DLH has a history of not being truthful with the media.....

I think DLH said after he took a dive vs Hopkins, "damn, and I was having fun in there."......when the reality was that Hopkins for about a round and a half had gotten the beat on him and was commencing the beatdown.

DLH would have none of it, and stayed down from only a decent body shot by Hopkins.:-(

DLH took an unmerciful beatdown at the hands of Pacquiao....I cant blame him for not coming out for more in the 9th........but the Hopkins fight, the beatddown was just commencing, and DLH decided to have none of it.....now thats quitting!

 

Wise guy, you should validate this statement from you that I byhighlighted by watching the video. There were instances as validated by the commentators when Oscar was having spaghetti legs. Or his knees buckled. As a matter of fact, Oscar held on to the ropes to keep his balance and prevent himself from falling down.

 

It was easy. Hopkins didn't beat him, the oysters did.

One thing is to lose balance from fatigue, another is to have your legs come out or want to come out from under you from a shot.....

.....I did'nt see the video, if you want to validate it, post it now so that I can take a look.

 

Don't see why he would lie. He's surprisingly pretty honest in his autobiography, says that he lost the Strum fight and that he should never have fought Hopkins.

 

There's only one way to settle this:
Let's all line up and have Pacman and Mosley punch us, compare, then have Mayweather make us omelettes.

 

Diaz was a title holder who knocked out Santa-Cruz who then beat Casamayor. And Oscar won a lop-sided division over Forbes who then gave Berto a closer fight. Both Oscar and Diaz couldn't even win 1 round. They were not the very best of the divisions, but they could't even make the fights competitive. Not even close to competitive.

I mean how many rounds would Berto win? maybe 2 or 3?
How many rounds would Casamayor have won against Pac? Probably none.

It will take guys like Mosley, Cotto, Hatton, and Marquez to give Pacquiao something to sweat about. And I think Hatton not even be on that level. Talks of Pacquiao getting easily KTFO by anyone from 135-147 are rediculous, even though at those weights he is well past his athletic prime.

 

How can you make a comment that you did not see "DLH's legs do a jelly dance" when you did not see the video. :rofl:rofl:rofl
