Can Pacquiao take Delahoya's best punch?

**Kobe Bryant** · 07-20-2008, 09:50 AM

I doubt it. He's been rocked by Marquez and Morales. I don't think he can afford to consistently take DLH's power shots.

Can't tell, DLH wasn't hurting Forbes so I guess his power is fading. Also DLH Power is deceiving, most of his KOs have been TkO throwing a lot of punches waiting for the referee to stop it....by rnd 8 or 9 he will be tired and fade so we are talking about Manny stay until those rounds and he has a shot. The better question is; Can manny actually keep his power and hurt boxers in 147?.

And the answer to that is very doubtful

Pacman's gonna have to box his way to a decision

You can't really look at Forbes as a measuring stick of DLH's power, because Forbes has a cement chin and has never even been down.

Oscar also has a good chin.

If Oscar catches Pac with an even so much as a "decent" left hook, it's all over.

No way. DLH's much bigger and more powerful than anyone else he's faced.

Pacquiao spars w/ middleweights it shouldn't be an issue.

The real thing will be if he get's caught with any flush shots, so far only Marquez has really done that because of his speed. De la Hoya isn't going to catch him.

Thats the ****ing TRUTH right there. Two Pound has a beard, no doubt.
And to answer the question, NO. I don't want to see this fight. At all.

for a few rounds yes, i wouldnt expect a one-punch knockout, but the cumulative effect of odlh's punches will take its toll on pacman, he'll be finished by about 6 rounds unless he's more elusive than he's ever been in his career (or oscar is just THAT slow)

that's true but thats assuming Pacquiao stands there and acts as a punching bag, what about De la hoya? Hoya could be so cut up and bruised by round 6 that he can't even see.
