Manny Pacquiao vs. Oscar de la Hoya at 147?

[Left Hook Tua]

All this talk about Manny should fight this guy and Manny shouldn't fight this guy and Roach disagreeing with Bob and Bob dismissing what Manny's team is saying and what Barrera advises Manny , anyone else thinks it's to set up an Oscar fight?

Now we're seeing all this reports coming from Freddie Roach about how Manny would knockout Oscar. Freddie doesn't really think Manny can ko a natural welterweight with a great chin.

Am I the only one that thinks all this talk is to set up an Oscar fight?

Manny is not the type that would call out anyone. Oscar can't fight Manny without reason because Manny is a smaller guy and Oscar has to play the good guy role.

Now if Manny's trainer is saying all this stuff doesn't Oscar have to respond? Wouldn't that response set up a possible fight?

Oscar needs an opponent. Hatton is set with Paulie. Cotto and Antonio are already fighting each other. Felix seems to not have any interest in a rematch. Wouldn't a fight with Manny be the most logical choice for Oscar right now?

Yes he is bigger but he is also older and past prime. Manny is the #1 p4p fighter in the world.

The biggest name against the best fighter. Who cares about Manny's chances. It might even be more competitive than we initially would think. It's not like Oscar is gonna bully him. Oscar will box him. Oscar doesn't want to look like he's pushing a little guy around.

All I'm saying is what other fights is out there for Oscar. Wouldn't you pay to see it? I would. Would you?

Oscar would just be way to big. I really don't like Roach and the dross he is coming out with at the moment.

[Addition]

This match shouldn't even be considered. There are fights at Lightweight that i'd rather see like Pac-Guzman, Pac-Campbell or Pac-Diaz.

[Silencers]

DLH by knockout, he'd be too big, he'd be a middleweight come fight time while Pacquiao, according to Roach would weigh about 145-147 on fight night.

Id watch it, simply because its two legendary fighters going at it tbh.

DLH by knockout

I'm not saying Manny would beat Oscar. I think Oscar probably ko's him.

I'm just saying would it make financial sense?

Would people buy it? Would people want to see it?

Yeah for sure it would, no doubt. I don't want to see it though. It would just look ridiculous I think.

okay. please read my post.

this is not a who would win poll.

this is not a who should manny fight next thread.

what i'm asking is would people watch it?

how many people here said trinidad-jones would be a good fight? how many people here suggested it? was trinidad-jones a fair fight? a guy who was overpowered at middleweight fighting one of the greatest light heavyweights of all time. who here would've suggested that fight?

but how much ppv did it get again?

I did read your poll and I know this is not a who would win poll. I said it shouldn't be considered as because there are fighters at lightweight he should be fighting.

But yeah people would pay to see it and it would be HUGE. But DLH isn't popular on here and if he were to fight Pac, he would get criticised big time.
