POLL - Who Really Thinks Pacquaio Can Beat De La Hoya?

who cares?

 

If Pacman wins then to me he overtakes Mayweather as the best fighter on earth whether Floyd is retired or not but I think a lot of Pac fans are gonna be disappointed after this fight.

By the way, I voted brutal KO as I dont think Pac has a chance to win but I dont feel it will be brutal, just an overpowering tko wear him out kind of win for DLH maybe with the odd really solid shot threw in for good measure but no worrying scenes I dont believe.

 

pac was 148 at fight night during the david diaz fight yet he was still decently fast.

 

Pacman will KO Dlh, no doubt about that.

 

I can't see pac winning unless DLH is completely and utterly ****ing SHOT. Manny is the perfect style for DLH and this fight will probably resemble the Mayo fight except pacman doesn't have half the chin mayo does.

It's probably in DLH's best interest to carry pac to make it appear like some kind of accomplishment after he does finally KO pac.

 

:rofl
Can you imagine if Arum was young and was a very good boxer? Both Hoya and Mayweather Jr. would have gotten their asses handed to them for their "disloyalty".

:rofl:rofl

 

I believe that DLH will carry Pac......

.....but I dont think it will be as easy as the Mayorga fight for DLH.
Pac has improved his boxing just enough, that he's alot more skilled than Mayorga.

The one thing I find interesting in this fight is that DLH is much like MAB who Pac outboxed easily.
DLH like MAB, cant throw a **** dud for a right hand......and as JMM and Erik Morales blueprinted, thats how you beat Pac, by countering him with right hands off Pac's lefts.

If this fight were at 140 lbs, I'd actually give Pac a chance vs DLH.
.....but at fight time, DLH is going to be fighting as a middleweight, and thats just too big for Pac, even with DLH having a weak right hand.

To me it will be interesting how Pac goes about fighting DLH. I know Roach is going to have Pac concentrating on just not getting hit by DLH's hook.

The only way this fight will be competitive however is if Pac carries his power with him to 147 lbs, which I'm just about certain that he wont.

Just for arguments sake, if Pac just as so much moves DLH with his punches, I could actually see a scenario where Pac could outbox and repeatedly tag DLH with left hand leads, as Pac blocks DLH hooks coming in.
He did that same exact thing to MAB, and MAB who I would consider a better boxer than DLH, had no answer for it.

A monumental task however for Pac, as DLH is going to have the height, reach, and strenghth and power advantages that MAB did'nt have vs Pac.
.....that alone should more than compensate for DLH lack of a right hand.

 

In winning over Forbes, DLH shows he is still not shot though had deteriorated from his former self. In faith do I rest my case that Pac may somehow manage to stay and give a competitive fight to the fans delight whether a win or loss...

 

There's ALWAYS a FIRST TIME....:hat

 

Pac man is sick...AND I LIKE THAT

 

I know no one is giving Pac a chance now and that's logical, just hoping he gets the credit he deserves if he wins this fight and the people who are picking him to get KO'd give him credit instead of hate and excuses.

Pac definitely has a chance, not a big one but his chances are there. Roach must be confident and begging Pac to take this fight for a reason, he sees something Manny can trouble DLH with that we can't regardless of size.

 

Depends on how Pac carries the weight, if that goes well than i think he has a chance to be competitive.

However it is likley that DLH will KO him

 

Oscar UD.

 

I really would'nt be all too suprised if manny suprised every1, manny will be in the best shape of his life and will be prepared both physically and mentally like never before, add to that how badly the weight draining will efect dlh's power this could be quite a competitive fight, dlhs the favorite in my book but im clearly stating i would'nt all together be suprised if pacman got ud or late stoppage due to dlh not being able to hit back

 

morel like KTFO

i've just seen a video of them side by side the size difference is just ridiculous. :-(
