    I disagree. there is a reason why Dela is looking for Pac. He doesnt want to fight anyone else.

    Isnt' Pacquiao #1 pfp? so Oscar would be fighting the best in the world right? just like he did when he fought Floyd:mj:

    They're both trying to rob us of our money with this joke of a fight. You're arrogant.

    How can you blame Pac for taking the fight though. For the money he is going to make, I would sign to fight Wlad Klitschko tomorrow!

    I blame Oscar, he's the bigger man calling out the smaller Pac. I didn't hear Pacman calling out Oscar ever.

    You may be right, but Pac is pretty much pulling an Oscar on Oscar. I'm disgusted when De La Hoya does that, and I'm disgusted when Pac does that, even though I like him more. Pac has plenty of business around his weight. That fight is a joke, my friend.

    I cant see this fight happening and there is no way Dela is fighting/weighing in at 147 he looked drained in the forbes fight and wasn't that at 150 ??

    I really question how serious all of this is.

    Trinidad should be considered above this debacle.

    I can't believe I'd actually prefer DLH-Trinidad II to any fight, but I'd rather see that than DLH-Pacquiao.

    Pacquiao has plenty of quality fights/opponents left, but if he gets the DLH payday (and likely beat down that comes with it) it could really cut short his career if not end it (at least at an elite level) and that would be a shame.

    Trinidad and DLH deserve each other at this point.

    Plus, Margarito-Cotto certainly made Mexico-Puerto Rico more main stream...they could continue the theme with American/Puerto Rican DLH and Puerto Rican Trinidad.

    Manny would be crazy to fight Dela, it will all end in tears for him and as you say there are plenty of fights at lightweight for the Pac.

    Oscar should go after Cotto or Margarito at a delaweight.

    I totally agree man, it's a joke and I hope it doesn't happen.

    Maybe Oscar should just fight Pavlik lol

    Manny would be crazy not to fight him. It would take him 10 years to make the same money fighting around his division as he would make fighting Hoya once.

    1 beating now or several over the next 10 years. Which would you take?

    That's what I'm saying. It's too much money to refuse. Like I said, I'd fight any man on the planet tomorrow if I was offered that much money. You just can't say no to that much money.

    Oscar is such a pussy. He always does this. He takes a big fight when he thinks its most advantegous to him. What he needs to do is man up and either fight Margarito, or move up to 165 and fight Trinidad and call it a career. This fight is such a farce and casual fans don't know any better so they'll eat it all up. I dont know how anybody could root for Oscar anymore. His last 2 fights in his career against small guys that never previously fought at welterweight. He must know he's washed up.

    One thing can't be denied.

    Jim Lampley's going to be all dried out from the copious orgasming he's going to be experiencing from all the missed combos Oscar and Pacman are going to be throwing at each other.

    :hump:

    I am a big fan of Pacman but Delahoya would brutalize him. Early in his career Delahoya used to crush the opponents that were smaller than him. He will just beat the shit out of Pacquiao untill he brutally knocks him out.
