Sources: De La Hoya, Pacquiao agree to Dec. 6 fight in Vegas

I am picking PACMAN. We need to will him to victory. I think this would be one of the greatest moments in history should pac win. I would put it second only to Tarver knocking Roy the fuck out. Imo, I will never ever be more pleased.

 

At least after pacquiao loses, he can hang out in the 135-140 lbs range and get interesting fights.

 

not much truth to this post. he's not one of the top 5 of his generation. and he rarely is in exciting fights against top opponents.

 

I find it a bit ironic those claiming it would be a huge win for Pac when months ago they claimed Floyd beating DLH meant nothing despite both having to move up in weight and to fight the bigger man.

Uuuuuh, Apparently this is a FOREIGN Concept to YOU, but there's a Thing Called WEIGHT CLASSES N Boxing...

DeLa has NOfuckingBUSINESS Making a Fight w/a Guy as SMALL as Manny Pac...There's NO Rationalizing that...

Fuuuuurthermore, WHEN did DeLa Fight Kostya Tszyu, Vince Phillips, Vernon Forrest, Jose Luis Lopez & Winky Wright???...

Come Up for AIR & STOP Being a DeLa GROUPIE...

REED:hammert:

 

Am I the only one who thinks the fix will be in on this fight?

 

So U HONESTLY Don't See why DeLa Should B CRITICIZED for this Bout???...

If Not, REED Expects to See you Ringside on Fightnight, w/a SKIRT & POM POMS...

This is Undoubtedly a BULLSHIT Fight...&if ANYBODY Else but DeLa were Pulling this Shit (Especially Floyd), U'd Take Issue w/It...


REED:cheer:

 

I have a feeling this fight will be a sparring session with both guys having a pre-fight "agreement" and Oscar carrying Manny to prove how "tough" an opponent Manny is.

Either that, or DLH will go down off a phantom Manny punch, and less than a month later, Manny signs to GB.

 

see here's the difference between DLH and scum like Floyd and Roy.

DLH doesnt claim to be the best in the world. He just takes on elite fighter after elite fighter, and lets stupid haters like yourself whack it to his likeness.

Criticizing DLH's resume is absolutely ridiculous, especially from a Floyd/Roy fan my goodness.

The weight class thing is a big issue, and people will take offense to it, but it isn't like DLH is touting this fight as something that will make him the "P4P #1" or the "best fighter in the sport."

He's doing it to make money and entertain his fans.

Oh and Neil, you're a fucking idiot. Mosley 1,2...Trinidad, Vargas, Chavez 2x, Quartey, etc....were all great exciting fights.

 

Frig, you two guys are harsh! :laughing::laughing::laughing:

 

"Scum" like Roy & Floyd would NEVER Dig Up a Fucking Former FLYWEIGHT for a Bout, Either...But if they DID, REED Would Expect YOUR Hypocritical Ass to B FRONT & CENTER Bitching about It...

& Only the BIGGEST of DeLa DICKRIDERS Would Sit Here & Try to RATIONALIZE the JOKE of a Fight that this Is...& SPARE REED your BULLSHIT Spin Tactics, Dude...

Sure, Manny Pac is an "Elite" Fighter...SEVERAL DIVISIONS LOWER than Where DeLa Campaigns...That's the Portion of this that U REFUSE to Acknowledge...

GUARANfuckingTEED, DeLa will Say he's Facing "The Best Fighter N the World" & He WILL TOUT the Fight as Such...

Fully CLOTHED & SOAKING WET, Manny Pac is MAYBE 140lbs...Standing 5'5...N Other Words, he's SMALLER than Stevie Forbes who Also had NOfuckingBUSINESS Being N the Ring w/DeLa...

It's Fans like YOU (JUSTIFYING Bullshit Fights like This) that ALLOW Guys like DeLa to CONTINUE to MANIPULATE the Sport of Boxing...


REED:mj:

ps. REED Wasn't "Criticizing" DeLa's Resume...REED was Shitting on YOUR Notion that DeLa's Fought "Everybody"...He HASN'T...

 

:bears:

Five greatest of his generation? More like top five overrated.

 

He's fighting an opponent that is too small and has no realistic chance of winning, and selling it as a big fight. It's bullshit and a scam.

I love Pacman, and if they were the same size he'd crush Oscar, but to put it in perspective - as Neil said - when Pacman had recently moved to super bantam and was splattering ledwaba all over the ring, Oscar was fighting as a junior middleweight.

This fight is utterly stupid, and pacman has no realistic chance of winning, or even making it competitive actually, unless oscar does decide to make it a sparring match - which would also be pointless.

 

Yep...

Neil Made THE BEST Point of this ENTIRE Thread...Manny had JUST Moved Up to 122 & Fought on a DeLa Undercard where he was Fighting @ 154...

ARGUABLY, Manny MAXED OUT (Weight Wise)@ 130...Despite his Fight Against David Diaz, Almost NOBODY Expects him to RULE 135 for any Length of Time...

NOW, DeLa has him Move Up 2 MORE DIVISIONS (& TRIED to Get him to Come N @ an Even HIGHER Weight than That:atu:) & Some DeLa DICKRIDERS Wanna Convince Us that this is a LEGIT Fight???...

If ANY Other "Name" Fighter Pulled a Stunt like This, DeLa DICKRIDERS Would B All Over him (Especially if it was Floyd or Roy)...But when it's THEIR Guy, they PATHETICALLY Rationalize it...

REED's Calling BULLSHIT on this Fight AND Any DeLa Fan that CO-Signs on this Nonsense...



REED:hammert:

 

This fight is a complete joke. And what I find kinda fucked up is that DLH wouldn't fight Tito cause they say the weight issue but yet it's all fine and dandy that Pacman will have the same type of weight issue going against him. This just knocked boxing back a couple of notches. I pray to God something happens and this fight gets cancelled. I'll Holla 5000

 

I was not aware that Floyd started his career at 106 like Pac. I was also not aware that mayweather jumped directly from 135 to 147 to fight Oscar.

Not even close to the same man. It would be far more impressive if Pac beat Oscar. Not to mention the fact that I guarantee you Pac doesn't run all night and it's an actual fight and not some garbage sparring session.

 

U DON'T Know REED Very Well...

REED has Given DeLa CREDIT Numerous Times...So Direct your "Hater" INSINUATION to Someone Else...

The FACT REMAINS, this is a BULLSHIT Fight...Instead of Checking Out w/a MEANINGFUL Fight, DeLa's Checking Out w/a BOGUS Fight...& the "Name" Pacquiao Brings DOESN'T Alter That...Trying to Portray it as Anything OTHER than a BULLSHIT Fights Makes YOU look like a DeLa GROUPIE...

NEVER Has REED Seen a Guy, w/Such a DECIDED SIZE ADVANTAGE, Pursue a Fight to the Degree that DeLa has N this Case...& WHEN (Not if, but WHEN) he Starts Hyping Manny as "The Best Fighter N the World" & a "Challenge", it'll Make REED VOMIT...



REED:hammert:

 

Surely you jest.

 

The SHITTY Part is, Floyd would Catch MORE Flack if HE was Fighting Manny Pac, than DeLa Will...


REED:boohoo:

 

Absolutely.

DLH should have fought Forbes and Pacquaio at the same time. That would be an accomplishment and worth the ppv price.

 

disagREED.

Especially if the fight were made at 140 (and I fully believe Floyd could still make 140 without hurting himself).

Floyd & Manny are perceived to be formerly #1 p4p & current P4P so I highly doubt there would be any flack.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see Mayweather-Pac next year if/when Pac beats Oscar.

 

Floyd got flack for fighting DLH and he wouldn't for fighting Pacquaio??:shit:
