Granting PAC retires next year, would you approve Hoya as his next fight?

From his point of view, yes because it would be a huge challenge he would have to overcome.

 

No. There's other options for both fighters that make more sense... like Cotto/Margarito vs. De La Hoya and Campbell/Guzman vs. Pacquiao.

 

no. He has a chance to unify the titles at 135. That to me would be a bigger accomplishment than beating Oscar

Forget Oscar. Oscar is all name and no substance.

Imagine if Oscar didn't have the popular name he has now but was still just as good as he is now, what kind of joke would this fight be?

 

AGREED!!!! though delahoya didnt look good like we expected in the forbes fight the truth is he is physically way bigger than pac...I dont care what ******* thinks he will not carry enough power to hurt delahoya whos fought @middleweight twice! Pac aint a good boxer like floyd is neither so he aint outboxing oscar.

 

no...theres still hatton, much safer choice than oscar. Also a big money fight..

 

Yes . . . . only if Hoya is his last fight. Otherwise . . . fight the right fight first.

 

yes and no.


on a financial and practical standpoint, fighting DLH is a guaranteed huge payday so i'd say yes.


I'd say no, career-wise, i don't think it's wise to fight DLH. By becoming undisputed at lightweight, pacman has around 3-5 very good fights ahead of him that can surely cement his legacy and attain higher ATG status.

on a personal perspective, i'd rather pick the latter. As it is now, pac already has tons of money(especially if he decides to settle in the Phils after he retires..).

 

I'd approve of Pacquaio fighting Oscar, but not necessarily vice-versa. It would be sort of like when a light heavyweight moves up to fight the heavyweight champion (although Oscar has no title). Although Pacquaio has plenty he could accomplish at lower weights, he'd be putting himself in a unique opportunity where, even if he lost, he gather lots of attention and respect.

 

**** no! Sideshow

 

good post, totally agree..pac already has tons of money plus not taking de la hoya would lengthen his career while he's still at his best. I don't know why others would scream for a hoya fight, the only reason is money. And they sure aren't getting any of that money anyway, perhaps they just want to see pac fight one more time. Not me, i still want to see more of pac

 

pac has still a has a few fights left, not one or two. He's still at his best imo..dlh is not a logical bigger challenge, but hatton is. He could wait for next year
