Regardless of weight, is Pacquiao a stylistic nightmare for De La Hoya?

Stylistically yeah, Pacquiao is a nightmare for most. A prime Oscar may have been able to man handle him, rough him up and get to him that way though.

 

Delahoya had problems with fast fighters. In this case PAC was fast both fists and footwork enabling hit combos and get out of range quickly. You have to timed PAC coming in ala Jim. Brawling or engaging PAC in furious exchanges is not a good strategy.

 

Yes Pacquiao poses an issue for any fighter, including any Oscar.

However I would probably still pick any version of Oscar through 1998, that is at the weights of 130, 135, 140, or 147, over a respective Pacquiao.

 

he can possibly beat him, but he needs to fight him multiple times just to be able to master his style. like JMM did

 

Stylistically, Pacquiao would be a nightmare for anyone. I don't see any style that could easily beat someone like Pacquiao.

 

I had Marquez winning by two points. Easy?, I don't think so.

 

He might have been mildly frustrating and bagged a few rounds, but that result owed itself entirely to Oscar's frail constitution, and that is the position held even by Freddie Roach.

 

No matter the weight, Pacquiao would've beat the crap out of DLH. That guy has lost alomst all his big fights..man i never made so much money in my life on that fight. I was like "when the last time he fought a southpaw" "when the last time he beat anybody good (Maygora does not count)" I had 8th round KO 40-1 :yep:yep:yep

 

That was an easy win for marquez, got robbed blind

reason why the Mayweather fight hasnt happened. that style is all wrong for Pac, hence why he would be lucky to win 3 rounds, espcially if u cant do that with Marquez

 

The reason why the Mayweather fight hasn't happened is because Mayweather has a long list of comical demands that ruined it from happening. Not to forget the "cheater!" attacks which he later apologized for. Mayweather had no problems fighting the likes of Ortiz and Guerrero when they were tailor made to make him look good, I don't see the issue with not fighting the "easy" Pacquiao for FAR more publicity and money.

 

Pacquiao vs. Marquez I, II and III were all clear for Marquez, increasingly so. (I close but clear factoring in all the knockdowns, II a little more comfortable and III, yes, almost easy work for Marquez)
