Manny Pacquiao Vs Oscar De La Hoya

Manny Pacquiao Vs Oscar De La Hoya

Many people are calling Manny Pacquiao Vs Oscar De La Hoya a mismatch..In some ways i think thats right, but in another way, i think this could be a great fight.

Oscar De La Hoya is 35 years old so i think if Manny Pacquiao has a chance of winning it would be at this stage of Oscar De La Hoya's career. When you look at it, there isn't really that much difference in height, its mainly the difference in weight classes they both started at in their careers, Manny Pacquiao's being much lighter.

Obviously Oscar De La Hoya's frame is much bigger then Manny Pacquiao's but don't underestimate Manny Pacquiao, he is very strong for his size and im sure he has been sparring with some big guys in the gym. I think Oscar too would have prepared very well for Manny Pacquiao by sparring with extremely fast punching guys.

Speed will play a big part in this fight, Manny Pacquiao could just have too much speed at this late stage of Oscar De La Hoya's career. But then again, if Oscar catches Manny coming in, it could be night night for Manny Pacquiao.

Will this fight be too much for Oscar De La Hoya if it goes through to the second half of the fight..As we all know, Manny Pacquiao is superfit and sets an exhausting pace which might tire Oscar out if it's not a quick 1-4 round KO fight.

Manny Pacquiao and Oscar De La Hoya are two great champions and in a way neither of them have anything to prove.

This fight has generated a lot of interest, good or bad, and that means huge money for both fighters. I do hope Manny Pacquiao wins this fight so he can face Ricky Hatton.
