Have you not seen De la Hoya standing beside Pacquiao?Its not just the height difference but also de la hoy has a much bigger frame and wider back. Pacquiao is getting murdered.
How is DLH-PAC a mismatch in size??..

Listen, De La Hoya ain't just any ordinary big guy, he has been a prizefighter since the 90'S while PAC was still fighting as a club fighter, DLH has been in much bigger fights than PACquiao. De La Hoya's advantage aint just in size, he has an excellent defense, terrific power, better boxing IQ and a solid jab. F**k the size advantage, those things i just mentioned is more than enough to stop PAC inside of 6 rounds!Comment

i agree.
i think too many people blow this out of proportion...
i think they arent that much different in size...as you pointed out no bigger difference than cotto v. margarito (well an inch but you get the point)...
if its at 147 whats the problem? pacquaio comes in at 145-147 on fight night lately anyway...so i dont see the problem...two fighters at 147 is two fighters at 147.
sure oscar hits harder than the size fighters pacman has been fighting but thats not the point...pacman usually comes in at 147 and oscar is going to come in at 147...its a welterweight fight.
No, Pacquiao is going to come in at 147 and Oscar is going to weigh in at 147. Which means that he'll be a middleweight when he enters the ring.Comment

I dont know where you got your information from . . . i dont think anyone picked DD to beat pacman, people predicted a closer and tougher fight and maybe a decision and not the ko but thats about it. pacman was moving up in weight and there were questions about his speed/power in doing so, but DD is not and never has been an elite boxer and is not know for any real power, he was known to be a durable guy with a lot of heart. the class in which dlh is in is waaaaaaaaaayyy above DD and your comparisons and analysis do not apply.Comment

Everyone has a limit. Pacquiao's like James Toney in that he relies so much on raw physical talent as opposed to ringsmarts that once age and/or weight catches up to him it'll be like crashing into a brick wall at 100mphComment
