Pacquiao-DLH could happen. ESPN say so!!!

i am questioning pacdbest's intentions as a pac fan. If you're a real fan you wouldn't want to see your hero get hurt right. Look at the joy boys, they are protecting floyd's decision and interest with back and forth criticism.

 

Besides there will be no credit for any of them..

Here's why?

If for one reason or another pac upsets DLH. He does not deserve a credit. Why? We all know that DLH is in his twilight of his career and everybody knows that a prime DLH could have KO pAC if they fought earlier.

His gas tank is almost empty. Yes, he won over forbes but we all know how BORING it was and obviously we only saw a fraction of what DLH used to be!

If DLH wins..

He does not deserve a credit. DAMN we all know how small Pac compared to DLH. " why don't you pick your own size?! "

I would rather see Pac VS Hatton. But pac needs to prove himself against David Diaz before even thinking of fighting hatton.

PAC has to prove himself first at 135lbs. Test the waters there and see if he can pull an upset over Hatton who is VERY COMFORTABLE at 140lbs..

Lets wait and see...

 

Good point. RJJ vs Ruiz comes to mind.

 

It seems as if you only want to see Pacquiao fight DLH..

 

To prove it! it would not be written in the record that pac beat casa, campbell, or juan diaz because you knew he would beat him. Simple common sense or you honestly thought that it would be written in wiki or boxrec that pac won against the likes of casa, campbell, or diaz because you knew it:rofl

No i didn't told you to act like the joyboy because you are not one..I just drew out a comparison because they have been good at defending their man's decision however bad his decisions are.

What does a fight with past his prime DLH does? I could go ok with hatton as he clearly is in his prime. Its just like PBF taking on DLH again

 

you said it yourself DLH is old and shot:rofl :rofl

now you think pac will get credit? Calzaghe wants RJJ and we know RJJ is also shot and he won't get credit for that because we all know a prime RJJ beats him just like how a prime DLH would beat pac

 

Refer to my above post..Lets not talk about size getting credit here if you want to go by that logic, DLH was also once a 130lber. Toney and RJJ are once middleweights and they beat ruiz at HW.

 

in case you miss this you should read again:deal

 

I, as a Pac fan, would not consider a DLH fight.. Yeah, a W vs DLH on his resume may look awesome as hell, but the fight is way too damn risky with no meaning except a big pay day.. Pac's legacy is already a hell of a one.. Everyone has limitations and I think his stops at 140 maybe.. I would not say he would beat the likes of Casa or Campbell either because I believe those would be close exciting fights.. However a fight with Hatton could be possible, but not until Pac has experience in the lightweight division.. I mean wouldn't you like to see Pac fight Casa, Campell, and Katsidis?

 

DLH started at 135 and dropped down to 130 for two fights.

Pacquiao's adult start weight was 122. That's 3 weight classes lower, and there are currently 4 weight classes between where they currently fight.

There also needs to be some context here. Jones beat Ruiz as a much smaller man. However

One: Jones was the far more skilled boxer than Ruiz (or Pacquiao) and used his speed to win, fighting off the back foot and countering Ruiz while making him miss. Brawling with Ruiz would have resulted in a Ruiz KO over Jones. Pacquiao is not a boxer. He is a come forward fighter with great power and speed, but not a great counter puncher or defensive fighter. He wins by beating you up, a recipe for disaster when facing a significantly larger man. And in this scenario, the larger man is the better boxer and counter puncher. Recipe for disaster.

Two: Jones and Pacquiao may be somewhat comparable natural talent wise. Somewhat. Ruiz and De La Hoya are not. The gulf Pacquiao has to jump to beat DLH is far bigger because of not only the size differential, but the skill level.

 

i got your point, but again i based it on weight alone because they wanted to go by that logic and not skill level

 

Gotcha. I just chose to go by both.

Someone is bound to come by now and point out that DLH is old and he couldn't even stop Forbes. Of course, Forbes does come straight at you the entire fight and can counter and move and fight off the back foot. He also isn't as active as Pacquiao and therefore doesn't leave himself as open.

 

And has an iron chin to boot. This is actually why I thought Forbes wasn't the greatest pick for an opponent. Sure DLH can beat him 10/10 times but if he is trying to hype his fight with Mayweather he should have picked someone with a glass chin that could get a highlight-reel ko against imo
