De La Hoya/Pacquiao Is On

By Michael Woods

 
After plentiful flirting with several suitors, and much wrangling over a purse split, Oscar De La Hoya has chosen a foe for his Dec. 6farewell tiff: Manny Pacquiao.

ESPN’s Dan Rafael could not get confirmation from Bob Arum, Pacquiao’s promoter, or Golden Boy Promotions’ Richard Schaefer, but said that an official announcement will come Thursday.

De La Hoya (39-5, 30 KOs) will be favored to down Pac Man (47-3-2, 35 KOs) by virtue of a heavy weight and presumably, power advantage .

It is likely the bout will take place in Las Vegas, Rafael reports.

Have at it, TSS Nation. Can Manny pull it off? Will Oscar be too strong for him?

rudy:  I'd rather watch Real Deal vs Iron Mike II than this garbage GBP is trying to force down our throats. Oscar is a clown if he thinks beating Pac is going improve his so called 'legacy.' Especially after all of the BS talk earlier in the year: 'I want a war, want to fight the best, take on the winner of Cotto-Margarito, I wont fight a Mexican, I wont fight a Puerto Rican, Mora, Williams, 30% or nothing.' Bunch of crap, Oscar is now a true promoter, lie after lie. I hope Manny punishes Oscar, kick this PT fighter's arse into retirement.

Radam G fishing in the Mountain lakes of the Pilipinas:  Wow! On this high mountain here in Tawi-Tawi, Philippines, I'm receiving the news of Big Money O taking on my peeps Pera Pac. Well, guess what? Manny is going to do a job on BMO. BMO will be laid out in round 7 -- lucky seven! And that is how many figures that I'm going to bet on my hommie PacMan. I was hoping that BMO would go out with a win. But it is no way, now. Manny is going to whoopa whop BMO. This will be the biggest PPV payout in the history of the hurt business. And a very hurtful, but rich farewell for Big Money O. Holla!

BigDaddy:  Another meaningless Exhibition Fight.They should have this Turkey of a Fight on Thanksgiving, not 2 weeks later. Or better yet on Christmas, because this will be the year end X-mas bonus check from the fans to DLH and Manny.I wish someone would make this "Fight" disappear. Where's the Grinch when you need him?
Wednesday Aug 27, 2008
Robert Curtis:  I don't know why so many people want to disrespect this fight. It won't be a great one. But it will be a good and worthy one. Oscar is half a geezer and will only KO Manny if Manny gets foolish and waltzes too close to the fire. Otherwise, Manny will hit Oscar A LOT. If Steve Forbes can mark DLH up, then Manny will make his face look like a two meat pizza. I still don't see Manny winning by KO, not with Oscar's chin and pride(or vanity at this point). Manny by a solid UD.
Wednesday Aug 27, 2008
Robert Curtis:  The reason I say this is not a great fight, but just a good fight is because Manny is hittable, and despite all the P4P hype, Manny hasn't shown the complete skill set that makes a legend like Roberto Duran. Manny has the gifts, but time will only tell if he will reach his full potential. Old Oscar won't be the best test, but it will be a start. The fight I'd love to see someday is Manny and Money. In the meantime, I want to hear how Oscar manages to make 147 at his age. I need to lose some weight myself.
Wednesday Aug 27, 2008
Nate:  I am stoked for this fight! Die hard Pacman fan here and have been hoping this was going to happen since Merchant brought it up! People who don't like this fight don't get boxing! It's not like people haven't moved up in weight. Billy Conn moved up significantly for Joe Louis! Stanley Ketchel for Jack Johnson! What's the problem? Pacman is fast, powerful and will hit DLH. This is going to be a great fight!

rudy:  Rob C, forgetting one thing when comparing Forbes w/Manny. They have nowhere near the same type of defense, Forbes learned the shoulder roll from Roger -- which is why DLH chose Forbes, tight D similar to PBF. Manny's D isnt even close to what Forbes' possesses, Pac has been ROCKED by Morales, Marquez, Larios, etc. -- natural featherweights. What happens when Oscar lands a flush left hook? Just saying....like I said before I'm rooting for Manny to put a beating on DLH and retire the guy, but very tough seeing that happen.

Anony:  :::::::::::::: OH MY GOD.... IT IS ON..... OSCAR VS. PACMAN.... FOR WHICH ONE I SHOULD BET??? THE HOBBIT OR THE ELF????..... LET'S SEE..... HUMMMM.. DIFFICULT ONE??? OH COME ON YOU ALL, IS IT A DIFFICULT DECISION FOR REAL???? OHHHH YOU KNOW WHAT??? I'M TIRE OF IT.... HAVE IT AND TRY TO ENJOY THIS CIRCUS..... IT IS AN STUPID UNEVEN FIGHT AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT!!!! PACQUIAO SHOULD NEGOTIATE WEARING A HELMET FOR THIS FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!
Wednesday Aug 27, 2008
aaron, uk:  If Pacman fights clever he could potentially pick up a decision but he won't, he will try to go toe to toe with Oscar and will be brutally ko'd. He will not be able to bully his Oscar the he does his other opponents therefore will have to change his gameplan. KO mid to late rounds. FACT!!

Yuvie:  Typical Oscar, yesterday there's talk of a fight with Williams (which would never happen) & suddenly today it's official with Pac. Why even say that crap about fighting Williams. I hope Manny wins this but I just can't see it. There's a very good chance that Manny could win it but he'd have to fight the perfect match, hit and run style for 12 full rounds and winning them convincingly because you know if it goes to the scorecards then Oscar will win if the fight is even slightly close. It's a great match for Manny for the money but he'll have to either school (Diaz style or knockout Oscar to win the fight. No chance will Manny knock Oscar out and I just don't think Manny can fight 12 perfect rounds with a big guy like Oscar. I see Manny doing well but Oscar hitting him with one flush shot and that'll be it, good night Manny. You just know Manny's gonna try and trade at some point and that'll cause him the loss. I would love there to be an upset though.

cmeshyne:  i think the general consensus would be that this is a horrible match, so why go through with it, $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ this is very unfortunate for us true boxing fans why not end with a legitamate fight, margarito,cotto,williams hell i would even love to see dlh vs tito trinidad 2 but this come on its absolutely ridiculous
Wednesday Aug 27, 2008
deepwaters:  WHAT A DAMN JOKE. i hope manny knocks out delahoya. this is horrible for boxing.boycot this fight. boycott this fight. if de la hoya had cojones,and not fishnets he would fight roy jones or trinidad. go manny. all of mexico will be behind manny. de la hoya just messed up his legacy big time. maybe the fight gets canceled due3 to a phoney injury once golden boy sees the reaction this fight gets. de la hoya should stick to his transvestite hobby

#1 Pacfan P4P "Legend":  All I'm hoping for is that this fight will go the distance and be very entertaining. I will not criticize a fight that many expert see as an entertaining fight. Many of you who criticize i think are PBF fans and don't want to see Pacman be more successful with Oscar and be exciting. Don't hate just congratulate and if Pacman wins I'm pretty sure that Pacquaio vs mayweather dubbed FIGHT OF THE CENTURY will come out.
Wednesday Aug 27, 2008
#1 Pacfan P4P "Legend":  If Pacman wins I'm pretty sure that Pacquaio vs mayweather dubbed FIGHT OF THE CENTURY will come out. Robert Curtis I think we're on the same page.
Wednesday Aug 27, 2008
#1 Pacfan P4P "Legend":  If this is really confirmed it is still a long ways come Dec. 6. There is still weight issues and weigh in so don't get too excited.
Wednesday Aug 27, 2008
JR Visaya:  there is only one way to win this fight hit and run for the next 7 rounds and go for the knock out for next 5 rounds. Manny you got to be in best of the best shape for this fight. Weigh-in at 143 lbs. and be at 145-147 during the fight. Remember he has reach advantage so you have make use of your speed in counter punching and power. Good Luck Manny..God Bless see you in LV.

donputo69:  what a pu$$ that dlh is...i had respect for dude, but now he's lost alot of respect for alot of diehard boxing fans...even though i think dlh will ko pacman, i will still be rooting for pacquiao to win...so is a 50-50 here...his legacy is gonna be know for been a chicken and not fighting cotto or margarito...just like scareweather...hell....now we have 2 chickens....dlh and scareweather....lmfaoooooo...holla back...
Wednesday Aug 27, 2008
Robert Curtis:  Love it or hate it, this fight will sell. ODLH is only scared of small paydays. Margarito should have called Oscar out and said he'd fight him for a 95/5 split and the loser wears fishnet stockings for a week. Let's see Oscar cherry-pick his way out of that one.
Wednesday Aug 27, 2008
Javier Martinez:  Hi all, with all the respect to my fellow filipinos,Paquiao is a good fighter and Mexican people like him, but who did he beat name one young fighter on his prime nobody, he beat old Barrera ,old Morales was able to defeat him once, then Pac M. beat old Morales twice why?, then old Marquez was able to give a good fight and to many people old Marquez won the two fights, to be the best you have to beat the best ,if he beats Joan Guzman,Nate Cmpbell maybe Juan Diaz then my respect even Humberto Soto,he needs to fight young good fighters i mean who was David Diaz he cannot fight come on,and now moving up to welter to fight Oscar ?where he does not have a chance, if he wants to be welter weight then fight Margarito, Cotto oh my god that would be like sending him to get kill.
Wednesday Aug 27, 2008
DaveB:  Good Lord! I was hoping this garbage wouldn't happen. DeLa Hoya is going to beat Pacquiao half to death. And it will only be because he is bigger. I had some respect for him for a minute when he said he was going to challenge Williams. I knew deep down he wouldn't. He only wants someone to fight where the odds are stacked firmly in his favor. I hope he gets what is coming to him.
Wednesday Aug 27, 2008

Eastar:  THE CHAMP IS HERE!!!!...........THE CHAMP IS HERE!!!!!..............THE CHAMP IS HERE!!!!!!................THE CHAMP IS HERE!!!!!. Ewwwwweeee. Another intriguing matchup for 2008. First RJJ -Toto., Then B-Hop - Calzaghe, then Quitto - Margarito. Now, Golden boy vs Wacman for the P4P "crown". Go Oscar, Go!!!! Leave the game on top, and rep for your country. "Mexican Killer"???!! Not unless it's a old Mexican, LOLolololol. True story, man. Yadig?
Wednesday Aug 27, 2008
Eastar:  I'm definitely paying for this fight. I love a good beat down. Yes, boxing is back. Haaaaaaaaahahahaaaa!

donputo69:  scareweather coming out of retirement?...you bet he is now...lets look at it this way....scareweather is a smart guy...he's rooting for pacquiao to win...so like that he fight's him next...lmfaooo...remember...SCAREWEATHER KNOWS HOW TO HAND PICKS HIS OPPONENTS...he knows he has a good chance of beating pacquiao because he's moving up from 122lbs to147lbs...you will **NEVER** see scareweather challenge cotto,margarito,williams or mosley...or even clottey...now watch...if pacman beats **CHICKEN DE LA HOYA**,watch scareweather comeout of retirement and challenge pacamn...im telling you....this is like wrestling....WE ALL KNOW WHATS GONNA HAPPEN....lmfaoooo......holla back ladies!!!!!

The Real Deal:  I wouldn't and I won't pay to watch Pacquiao and Delahoya. There is no way this fight should be made. I don't want to start talking about Mayweather because he's tired but he would DESTROY Pacquiao. That would be a fight that I wouldn't want to see either. I know there are at least 4 perhaps 5 lightweights that can beat Pacquiao so why should we want to see him go all the way too 147. This is totally ridiculous. I knew they wouldn't post my last comment because I was really letting everyone know what kind of person Delahoya really is. Maybe Delahoya has bought TSS just like he bought ring magazine and others. I see they don't want people to tell the truth on this website. They want you to hear them but they don't want to hear you. Michael Woods why did you not post my last comment?
Wednesday Aug 27, 2008
Greg:  There's just no better fight for Oscar than the smaller Pacman, easier, more money, the hype, etc. etc. I see him losing a lot in the end though whether he win or not. It's a win-win situation for Many though even if he knock the hell out of Pacman...i'll go for the underdog.

BigDaddy:  Season's Greetings from Golden Girls Productions and "Too' Rank .Looks like Christmas will be a couple of weeks early this year for all Boxing fans. I hope you brought your appetite, because this Turkey of a Fight is hard to swallow and costs $55 bucks. HOE! HOE! HOE! MERRY X-MAS! ..... at least it will be for Manny and Oscar!

#1 Pacfan P4P "Legend":  Has the Pacman ever let you down in any of his fights action wise. Nope! It will be exciting why not pay to watch, you are just hurtin boxing more by not supporting. Now I can understand if it was a rematch with PBF I learned my lesson.

Wednesday Aug 27, 2008
The Real Deal:  Has this turned to MMA, where you guys who want to see Pacman fight, just for the entertaninment. Who will Pacquiao fight next after this fiasco? Where does he go? Oscar has sold his soul to the devil. Greed over pride and dignity. He would rather go out as a COWARD, he took money rather then be a true warrior. We got on Cotto for quitting. Oscar is fearful of a situation like that as well. He already quit once with Hopkins. His legacy is garbage. Floyd Mayweather did that wrestling garbage, that's entertainment for those who like fake athletes. This is boxing! Hopkins is 40+ and he's fighting Kelly Pavlik, Shane Mosley is over the hill as well and he fought Cotto and now he's fighting Mayorga. But Oscar is fighting the smallest guy he could possibly find. OSCAR IS A DISGRACE TO THE BOXING COMMUNITY!!

ral™ Ralph Ligtas:  This is not a great fight for a boxer but for an ODLH or PACMAN fan, it sure damn is! I have made a comparison between pacman and forbes the reach advantage of ODLH, with Forbes, Oscar has a 4 inch reach advantage, with Manny its 6 inches, for the height Oscar has 3 inch advantage over Forbes, with Manny, Oscar has a 4 inch advantage. It's very similar, with defense Forbes has it better but Forbes throws 50% lesser punches than Manny does, If Manny gets hit by more than 2 solid punches from ODLH I think he will be knocked out, Manny will win by UD if he uses a smart defensive, counter punching game. Manny cannot win by KO, he can, possibly, if ODLH has a hard time making weight.
Thursday Aug 28, 2008
Alokwe:  I believe this is Golden Boy trying to kill off the competition by having De la Hoya beat up and damage irreparably Top Rank's flagship fighter.___Make no mistake about it, after this fight Pac wouldn't be the same again. There's no way he's fighting a guy that big and coming off with a mere loss. He'd be a shot fighter once this is through.__The size and power advantage DLH has over him equals a career shortening beating and I believe GBP wants to really end TR once and for all.
Thursday Aug 28, 2008
Anony:  ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: RADAM G AND DONPUTO69 ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: (responding to Big Daddy comment) It is true what Big Daddy said and you know I have told you the same before, you don't need to be bragging about "first row tickets in Vegas" or "being in the Olympics in Beiging" or "flying back tonight to New York from Manila".... man, that's like little kids bragging in front of the hard working men that most of us are. And I kind of like both of you but please look smart, respectable and always remember that humble people live happier and longer. Bob Marley last words was "money don't buy life or happiness".
Thursday Aug 28, 2008
John Dezenberg:  Oscar keeps running from Margarito....this time all the way down to the 130 division. This fight is ridiculous. I would rather see Jorge Arce take on Valuev or Klitschko. My man Margario has been calling out DLH who "conveniently" does not want to go out fighting a fellow Mexican. 2 reasons: The mexicans would be rooting for Margarito and AM would beat the HELL out of DLH. Out.
Thursday Aug 28, 2008
STOKES:  This fight is a joke, it was only made to milk money from all boxing fans, but to their dissmay real boxing fans will not buy this garbage. How can you have Manny going up so high in weight and expect an even fight with Oscar? I would have agreed to this nonsense only if Many would have beaten a decent fighter in the Wetlerweight division but NO he is a lightweight at best. Anyway I am very dissapointed because I am a true boxing fan and while people are always complaining about weak fights being made we should boycott this fight and as much as I hate to say it lets boycott the rest of the Golden Boy and Top Rank PPV fights just to show them that we are tired of this NONSENSE. Give the people real fights in order for them to give you their money, wow cant believe i just said that but its true, how sad it has become of us to have to pay just to see a decent fight!

Radam G on the white sands of Isabela, Palawan, PI:  No money, no milk and honey! Money darn sure can "buy life or happiness." I guess if you don't have the moola, you don't know dilly or jack. BigDaddy probably has a big wobbly head and no deep pockets to get it fix. This dude has a cesspool in that big, 'ol wobbly head. He's always attacking donputo69 and this honorary team member of the TSS Universe. BigPotatoHeadDaddywiththesmallcojones needs to lighten up and not read what donputo69 or I post. Or this complainer, buster, faker, hater, poster, whinner and b*tch can find another Universe. We will not miss him here at the greatest site in cyberspace. It's PacMan Time, It's Pinoy Time, It's Money Time. Holla!
Thursday Aug 28, 2008
Radam G loving it:  There are two jealous, hater, poser "clown(s)" here. We know the two, so there is no need for me to give them credit. These bums loves attention. I guess they cannot find it at home. No love for those clowns. Manny is going to do a job on Big Money O. BMO was never going to fight a fat, washed-up Tito. Tito was the man at welter. But at catchweight , he is finished -- now a Frito Lay, everybody will enjoy chewing him up. No more Tito, Frito, PLEASE! It's Pera Pac Time. Y'all betta' ask som'body, caus' y'all musta' fo'got. Holla!

Robert Curtis killing time in Koreatown:  These comments sections grow more absurd by the day. Sometimes I think it's just one bizarre stage play written by some creative writing student who assumes all the monikers and composes all the dialogue. If so, we've got another James Joyce on our hands. Well, I don't mind typing in the company of both beggars and kings. Poverty is honest but it's not always a virtue, and rich people are often unhappy(if they don't know where to shop!). Now back to boxing. I posted another opinion on this fight which hasn't made it past the editors. What gives? It's not my best, but it contained no foul language.

rudy:  Catfish Manny by KO over Oscar Meyer Wiener!!!!!! Retire this fool.
Thursday Aug 28, 2008
The Real Deal:  Stokes said it best, the real boxing fans should BOYCOTT this fight!! It's total nonsense. Like I said before, there are many 135 pounders that can beat Manny, Campbell, Juan Diaz, Guzman, Casamayor and Soto. Oscar if he wanted an easy fight and didn't have to worry about a guy knocking him out then he should have picked Cory Spinks. That's no threat to Delahoya and he could have at least fought someone more his weight. I will never support Oscar because he is not a true fighter. BOYCOTT THIS FIGHT!!
Thursday Aug 28, 2008
Anony:  :::::::::::::::::: THERE IS A SAY IN PUERTO RICO : BRAG ABOUT EVERYTHING YOU HAVE AND IT WILL SHOW EVERYTHING YOU MISS :::::: It means, empty spirit people always brag about what they have and want everyone to know it because they miss OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS IN LIFE like love, a family, true friends or a good life overall. I'm not saying this is your case Radam and Donputo... but it seems to be like that. I hope not. Besides, why I should like everybody to know I'm wealthy? That grabs the attention of robbers and thieves. Being humble is the right way to live. Your comment (Radam) shows your greedy side... those kind of person are not in my "friends list" and you could care less but that's how the world is divided right now.. greedy wealthy ignorant people vs. humble conscious spiritual people. You obviously fit the first. And Donputo... whatever man. Don't deviate from your culture. Puertoricans are known for being hard working, humble happy people so I know you understand what I'm saying.

Ridiculous Fights Like Oscar & Pacquiao:  These are other fights that should take place after Oscar fights Pacquiao. Chad Dawson vs Wladimir Klitschko, Roy Jones, Jr. vs Juan Manuel Marquez, Winky Wright vs Samuel Peter, Kelly Pavlik vs James Toney, Joe Calzaghe vs Ricky Hatton, Antonio Margarito vs Israel Vasquez, Paul Williams vs Jorge Arce. All of these would be great fights if you want to see Oscar and this SCAM!! BOYCOTT THIS FIGHT TRUE FIGHT FANS!!

Radam G being humble with my Pesos and Dollars:  Wow! I thought that I was fluent in English, but I didn't understand a word that dude said. There is a question in Tagalog: "Nag abola ba kita? -- Am I bothering you? No, Anony! "Iwangan mo ako mag-isa" -- "Leave me to myself." My condition is by God, as is yours. I don't change my persona for a poor or rich. I'm respectful of all, I'm not rude and a buster and hater like you. As I've told you, don't read what I post if your are so offended. Nobody is going to rob me, I've blind the "robbers and thieves" with my Benjamins -- $100 bills -- and kayo them with my small change -- Lincolns ($5 bills). If I miss them, my posse will get them with the Hamiltons ($10 bills), and advise them about being nice with the Jacksons ($20 bills). I'm Pinoy humble -- happy and rich in the head with education, deep in the pockets with money and fat in the bank with accounts. I'm not greedy. Just blessed! Holla!

Robert Curtis:  Who's on the thousand, Radam? And do you ever forget who's face is on the one? Starts with a G. Father of our country and all that. Can you pass though the eye of a needle as well as enter the kingdom of God. HEY! Can we all start talking about boxing again? This site is becoming group therapy or something. Or maybe it's Boxing Anonymous? Haha. In any event, I'm entertained. Keep it all coming, guys. Peace and Holla!

Jack13:  ODH despite his great career has one thing going against him, the clock. Manny and Roach realizes this. Fighting at 147 is the smatest idea Roached hatched and bargained for. ODH fell for it. The longer the fight streches to, the less strength OGH will have in his legs, lungs and muscles. Manny has shown he can be as strong as a bull even when adding the poundage. Diaz can talk more about it. Manny by KO on the 10th. !!!!!
Friday Sep 5, 2008
who are you???:  I heard these same arguments before when Pacman moved to 135 lbs... and Manny proved them wrong... Let's just see if he can do so again. It will be exciting!!!
Saturday Sep 6, 2008
pete ellorin:  Can Pacquiao take the punch of dela Hoya ? Remember DelaHoya is a netural Welterweight while Pacquiao is a blown up lightweight. But If dela Hoya is not careful, Pacquiao can dance his way to victory. No doubt about it,. Pacquiao is fast while dela Hoya is stronger.. If the fight goes the distance, Pacquiao is the winner, first five rounds, dela Hoya is dangerous.. Take it away. . .

danman:  I feel sorry for the common fan who is gonna be fed this crock of dung. But Ive seen the real deal like cotto vs margarito, taylor vs chavez, corrales vs castillo, and I know this isn't it. What a disgrace, I can't believe De La Hoya wants to have the glory but not the risk. He has not earned the respect of the true boxing fan. Here he has the opportunity to go out in legendary fashion against Antonio Margarito but he opts to chicken out. He is going to seal his reputation as the biggest coward in boxing history,especially as a wannabe mexican fighter. I don't remember J C Chavez ducking a young up and coming lion by the name of oscar de la hoya when he was passed his prime, no he took his but whipping like a man. Just goes to show some men have the courage and others don't. What a shame, ODLH has glory starring at him in the face, in Antonio Margarito, and he decides to takes the safe route. BOYCOTT this crap don't spend one nickel on this I know it is easy to get caught up in the hype if your not a hardcore boxing fan but take it from me this is a joke 5'11 middle weight vs 5'4 feather weight what a shame. It is time for ODLH to give a little back to the fans that made him a millionaire and give us the fight we deserve. No instead he is spitting in our face and laughing all the way to the BANK.
