De La Hoya on Why He Picked Pacquiao, and Not Margarito

[Ray*]

I dont care what Oscar does to be honest, All boxers are the same apart from Cotto..even margarito was saying stuffs like "Who is the fighter" after only one marque win, Cotto was the only fighter who was willing to fight anyone they put in front of him.

Oscar is a ****ing worm.

check the article he said he'd fight Manny cuz it'd "make the bigger impact"

translation, he'll make way more fighting Pacquiao then he would vs Margarito

[Pugilistic™]

These are the reasons:

More Money in fighting Pacman.

Alot less risk in fighting Pacman.

dream scenario for the closet oscar fan in me:

1) Oscar beats Pacquiao (kinda inevitable anyway) but doesn't ko him or ruin the little tykes body. it would be a travesty if oscar ruined the most exciting fighter of our generation....

2) oscar rematches pbf who is enticed by the payday, and under the tutleage of big floyd sr, pulls out a masterful ud, won mainly on the jab.

3) oscar fights a 12 round war with margarito in azteca stadium in mexico and stops margs in the 12th to prove himself the mexican warrior he has always craved to be recognized as....

for 2 & 3...keep dreaming buddy, keep dreamin.

i kinda want to see manny get exposed,
too much hype, i hope that comes to an end,
although i wanted guzman to do it in his prime,
oh well pacman will never be the same

why cant dlh tell the truth?? he is scared of the brutal beating margarito would inflict on him. its just plain and basic common sense. dlh was never scared to fight anyone.... UNTIL NOW!!!!

2 and 3 will never happen. Trust me.

Also someone was saying Pacman will be exposed by Oscar.... hahahahaha Back to school dude, you need some common sense. How does an eventual win by Oscar exposes Manny exactly? Someone who's so much smaller than Oscar... How?

[MegatronCEN*CAL]

Oscar is going to avenge Mexicans by fighting a guy who fights at 135 lbs? I also like how is says this fight is "personal." This guy is so full of ****. I really hope he retires after this fight. Oh, and I'm Mexican and I hope Manny whoops his @ss.

yeah its funny dlh says hes doing this for mexico but i know most mexicans will be cheering for pacquiao in this fight. he is the one taking all the risk and he is the more exciting fighter. maybe mexicans would cheer for dlh if he was a true mexican. fighting a man this much smaller than you is cowardly. it is not the way of honor and dignity of a true mexican warrior.
