De la Hoya claims Pacquiao beats weight-drained foes : MANILA, Philippines – Former boxing great Oscar de la Hoya claimed the reason why Filipino superstar Manny Pacquiao has been successful in his last fights is that he keeps on beating his opponents through the weighing scale. De la Hoya, who was forced by Pacquiao to quit after an 8-round beating in 2008, made the claim while pushing again for a third fight between the Filipino boxer and Mexican champion Juan Manuel Marquez. "For me, Juan Manuel won the first two fights and he's the only one who succeeded in creating problems for Pacquiao, a fighter who has always forced his opponents, including myself, to lose weight and leave everything on the scale," De la Hoya said in ****** *****.com. De la Hoya, who owns majority of Golden Boy Promotions (GBP), claims Pacquiao has always forced his opponents to drop down to uncomfortable weights to make the fights. In their 2008 fight, De la Hoya worked hard to make the 147-pound limit just to face Pacquiao. This, he claims, was the reason he lost the bout. http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/sports/12/02/10/de-la-hoya-claims-pacquiao-beats-weight-drained-foes De La Hoya is a hater and ******.
But how can a hype job who is the same size as Marquez be a 4-1 favorite against Cotto. Do you think Bradley, Maidana, or Ortiz will be a 4-1 favorite against Cotto .
Wrong, the cross dresser choose the weight himself thinking that the fight with the Man was a walk in the park, so were majority of experts and fans before the fight.
He was never a 4-1 favorite over Cotto. Maybe a 3.25-1. That's it though. Also, who is the ****** saying Pac drained Margo. He only had a few fights above 147.
