The "WAR MANNY" Bandwagon thread!

[3punch]

“I have to improve my speed,’’ the soon-to-be 36 year-old, six-time world champion said Thursday afternoon while discussing his now finalized Dec. 6 showdown with pound-for-pound champion Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas.

“I have to figure out quick how we’re going to neutralize his speed. I do have to adapt to his speed. I know he’s a very powerful puncher with both hands but the tricky part is his speed. I have to find a way to pull the trigger, the way Freddie Roach said.’’

Actually, what Pacquiao’s trainer said was that he no longer believed De La Hoya could pull the trigger. This was not idle speculation on Roach’s part or the rantings of some television talking head. This was one of the world’s best trainers speaking after having worked with De La Hoya to prepare him for his fight with Floyd Mayweather, Jr. last year.

DLH Get owned!!!!!

DLH gets owned..... Poor guy, I guess thats what happens when you go to fishnets.


He spoke of perhaps fighting then welterweight champion Miguel Cotto, over whom he would also have held a sizeable advantage in height and reach, but Antonio Margarito beat him to beating up Cotto and De La Hoya apparently wanted no part of the winner. Had he opted for Margarito it would have been a very big night for boxing against a guy who stands the same height as De La Hoya and has the same 73-inch reach.

Instead he opted for a big night against a little man, challenging the 5-foot-6, 135 pound Pacquiao, whose reach extends only 67 inches and who began his career fighting at 106 pounds, a 24-pound advantage over where De La Hoya began his.



Is oscar only looking for little boys in the school yard? This article makes some good points.

It looks like DLH opens as a big favorite. Or am I reading these odds wrong?


The MGM Grand has posted the opening lines for the showdown between Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao. De La Hoya is listed at -155 while Pacquiao opens at +135. The two will clash at the MGM Grand on HBO Pay-Per-View Dec. 6.

We gotta keep this going to support the Pac Man. No doubt when Manny gets beat someone will bump this thread and go "LMAO PWNED YOU THOUGHT MANNY WOULD WIN", Failing to understand we are simply rooting for him

What do you think

I know a lot of people are comparing the two. Here they are side by side. Manny really is a midget, I dont know if Oscar is going to be able to get low enough to hit him!

Steve Forbes
5'7 1/2
Reach of 68"
Started his boxing career at 130

his biggest win is Cornelius Bundrage

Manny Pacquio
5'6 1/2
reach is 67"
Started career at 105

I think my last three gfs weighed more and were taller than this guy.

his biggest win was against Fahsan 3K Battery (LOL)
Actually he has a few Barrera, Marquez, morales, and david diaz
