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.
