    Oscar De La Hoya disputes reports that he is a bigger fighter looking to pick on the smaller man. Speaking with Mark Kriegel of FoxSports.com, De La Hoya says that Pacquiao is the one who called him out. The two fighters collide on December 6 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

    "He's the one who called me out, so he's picking on the bigger guy. I think the fact that I'm coming down to 147, a weight that I haven't made since I fought Arturo Gatti [in 01]. I think it's going to be a real struggle. I really do. I think it's going to affect me more by coming down than him going up," De La Hoya said.

    De La Hoya says that Pacquiao's weight gain, jumping from 135 to 147, should not hurt him in the fight.

    "He's fast. They say he's going to slow down a bit because he's going to gain about 10 to 12-pounds. Even a slower Manny is still fast. That's the beauty of this fight and it will be a fun fight," De La Hoya said.

    Oscar can only hear so many "Yo Momma" jokes before he gets mad.

    Says the bozo who doesn't want to fight Puerto Rican fighters nor Mexican fighters, but will fight a smaller fighter because he challenged him. Oh wow,, I guess when Margarito challenged him right after the Cotto fight, it was an inside joke, huh?

    Margarito called him out too on TV, in HBO and in front of millions. What does he have to say about that! De La Hoya is just bullshitting everyone.

    It would be funny if Pac had learned to shoot fireballs out of his eyes, KO1.

    He's right about it being interesting, everyone wants to see how Pacquiao performs at 147 all the way from 135. That's what makes this fight interesting and if Pacquiao wins it then he becomes even bigger than he already is and whatever fight he gets after it will be a megafight.
