Oscar De La Hoya vs. Manny Pacquiao

Whatchu thing of this match actually happening. They both have a strong fan base, and can potentially be bigger than the De La Hoya vs. Mayweather superfight.

A lot of money can be made if this fight were to happen.

They could meet at 147. Manny said he's down to fight him cuz he walks around at 150, and his sparring partners are usually 140 to 150.

The Golden Boy might as well fight The Iron Boy.

It'd be an "event" fight, nothing more. DLH/Pac, DLH/Mayweather II, Mayweather/Hatton II, DLH/Hatton, Tyson/Holyfield III, Nelson/Fenech III, Shamrock/Ortiz II and III, same shit.

DLH vs. Mayweather 2 really doesnt belong on that list imo. That fight didnt even reach a one sided level. Look at tito vs. DLH 1-8..thats one sided. Mayweather just did enough to win but it was still competitive and I think with a few adjustments, DLH could make it more competitive. The smart money is still on Mayweather, but besides Margarito and Cotto, nobody at 147 has as good of a chance as DLH at beating PBF in my opinion.

I think Marg would beat PBF. He has a great chin and a great output and I think after an early storm, Marg would start gaining ground and take a decision as his activity stayed high while pbf started playing the safe play every exchange.

I think PBF beats Cotto but Cotto has proven me wrong a few times now.

I think PBF beats DLH but I wouldnt be surprised to see the opposite.

All that said, it's pointless until PBF comes back out of retirement. I just got off on a rant.

I will say this though... besides JL Castillo, DLH came the closest to marking PBF's record. Had he kept up that jab and stopped going wild everytime PBF baited him to the ropes, he might have won.

I think De La Hoya is too big and too strong for Manny.
