If Pacman beats De La Hoya is he a all time great.

[dfwtx]

different styles too.

floyd doesn't get hit a lot. we all know he could go up to any weight class and his defense will get him by.

manny is a slugger. harder for a slugger to move up in weight.

Yeah good point DLH fought Sturm at 160 lbs, manny may feel these punches more than anyone he's ever fought against

[Left Hook Tua]

i agree, he's already an all-time great, but beating dlh might put him up there with duran

no way he's close to duran.

duran was what 35+ when he beat barkley for the middleweight belt?

duran beat a prime sugar ray leonard. who else can say that?

manny will get knocked out if he fights delahoya. but it's worth the huge payday.

even being competitive for a few rounds or even going to a decision can be considered a victory.

lose-lose situation for oscar.

win-win situation for manny.

[-Antonio-]

He already is.

[poeticlsykuac]

To filipinos he allready is. Imagine if Pacman KO's De La Hoya he will beat Golden Boy another MexicaN AND HAVE WENT UP 17LBS to do so. That is a Yes from me.

KO DLH? Damn pass those drugs. Your crazy a win would be by UD if Pac did it. I still see DLH just being to big. DLH can put Manny on his ass with one left hook like he has to Light Middleweights, what happens to a fresh Lightweight?

I never thought he was past it when Mayweather beat Oscar, he wasn't at his best..but you couldn't tell much of a difference in the way he's always fought..only a bit less power.

no way he's close to duran.

duran was what 35+ when he beat barkley for the middleweight belt?

duran beat a prime sugar ray leonard. who else can say that?

you are being a little to hard on a newer generation fighter, Pacquiao beating De La hoya is no different than the duran vs Barkely fight.

Pacquiao started at junior Flyweight, Duran and lightweight. A junior flyweight beating a former Jr Middleweight is a feat in It's self.

Thats pretty much all itd be good for. Its not for a title, not a title eliminator and doesnt set up any future fights for Pac if he wins. Its simply 4 money and a fake legacy. period.

[Domain]

he's already an all-time great.

name one flyweight titlist that also won a title at lightweight?

5 titles in 5 divisions. 3 of them lineal.

not too many guys were 5-1-1 against future HOFers either.

not only that but a flyweight who is not a DEFENSIVE CUTEY.

And actually put bigger men on the seat of their pants.

Manny will def feel these punches he is not a defensive cutey like floyd jr or Forbes.
Pacman tastes 1 left hook he will drop faster then a bag of bricks.

[Drunk Punch]

I agree Pacquiao doesn't need to beat DLH, he is already an ATG in his own right.
