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

[Boofdatruth]

You are so ignorant it is almost amusing. Lol, you say Manny only has to gain a few pounds? He's had exactly one fight at lightweight. Let me repeat that...ONE. He's jumping up two divisions which he has never fought in, giving up something like 4 or 5 inches in height, another 7 in reach, and you're saying don't overrate his limitations? Lmao!! Its no wonder your opinion is crapped on, on a daily basis. All Oscar has to do is suck some weight and rehydrate for a day and a half before the fight. You are the same clown who has been bashing Pac for not fighting (I hold my hands wide and my chin in the air) Valero, but you are now condoning this fight. Seriously, could you be any more of a hypocritical clown? Get off the drugs. Crack kills.

Suck some weight and rehydrate for a day lol. Brilliant. Dlh isn't in his prime!!!! You try to make it sound simple just so you can elevate PAc to an elite status. Dlh is older and fighting at a weight that is bad for him fatboy. This is why I exlax on you all the time. How is the MMA career coming along? lol. You used to be an ok dude too lol. 52 years old fighting a MMA fight lol.

Lol, how would I be on any banwagon when Im a confessed fan of Pacquiao? You really are brilliant! More ignorance from the master of ******ity. Keep posting though, you're good for a chuckle here and there.

JAB, you'll ride anyone who you can say does anything better than Floyd. Bandwagon fan. When Pac lost to Morales, you rode with Cotto. When Margs beat Cotto, you ride Margs, Now that Cotto lost, and people are talking about Margs not rematching Williams, you ride PAc again lol. Your Beez Alt comes out when people start to question your logic on Floyd. You pretend to know me when you ask people to email you, and you don't know me or anything about me lol. When is your MMA fight? lol

This fraud is still trotting out that tired old crap " I want to make opportunities for young Mexican fighters" etc. The main opportunities are to make himself the "Mexican conduit to the U.S> boxing market". He'd LOVE that

And he also still uses that "I've fought everybody" drek. Maybe he did.....or almost, but generally when they were either long past their peak or weight drained or some other advantage. As did Mayweather. All these egotistical crappers have the smarts to insist on weaseling out the "goodies".

actually no he fought tito in his prime vargas in his prime he fought hopkins when hopkins was still a beast he fought quartey at his best he fought mosley at his best he fought floyd at his best he fought whitaker he was already fading a lil he fought mayorga. give the man his due now he wants to take an easier fight its still not goin to be a give me fight but he has fought the best in his time cut the man a lil slack hes 35 years old.

I see what you're saying, but if that's the truth then he shouldn't expect us hardcore fans to look kindly on him, and just accept a "come on guys take it easy on me I'm old" fight. **** him, he shouldn't have fought at all but since he did, he can't expect real boxing fans to approve of how he's fooling the casual fan by fighing a tiny fighter who happens to have name recognition.

The Pac vs DLH does nothing for boxing and it makes no sense. This is why boxing (IMO) in shambles. Starting with all the ****ty belts out there.

This fight is nothing more than a money maker for someone who is already way passed his prime, ****** rich (nothing wrong with that) but also greedy. Of course Pac is not going to pass up an opportunity to make some really good money, hopefully without paying a high price by getting seriously jacked up because of the natural physical advantages for DLH.

Seriously! Who was calling for this fight to happen? No one, but DLH. Had anyone (including DLH) taken a poll of who we (true boxing fans) had wanted for Oscar to fight it would not have been Pac. Nobody in their right mind would had ever voted for this fight!

i feel u on that but im also saying people are liek oh hes a fraud and all sorts of names but he already gave his best years fighting the best now that hes older just cause hes fighting somone smaller people are acting like he never did **** like he always took the easy way out. I could understand some people are mad bout this fight but its like ok he doesnt wanna fight Margarito whos a beast right now i see that fight kinda ending like the cotto fight. anyways Margaritos only tryna fight him for a pay day i mean not to many people belive DLH can beat marg. Y would marg rather fight an older dude instead of the best at WW? Hes tryna get a pay day. I dont see this fight being that bad actually did u c da steve forbes vs DLH? He couldnt even knock forbes a natural 130 or 135 pounder and forbes hit him alot. With Pacquiao hes going to get hit alot more times by a more powerful and faster dude.

He'd get dealt wit by Tony, that's why.
