B hop has faced De La Hoya, Trinidad, Wright, Pavlik, Taylor. He has beaten all these undersized fighters. Why does everybody give him so much props for beating this guy. If De La Hoya beats Pacman it would mean more to his legacy than Hopkins beating any of the above fighters. Manny is #1 P4P now. Bernard is an oppurtunist and has a great resume against good opposition. Unfortunately its big names and smaller fighters. De La Hoya looked Horrible against Sturm at 160 and in many opinions lost Mine Too. He had no business going against Hopkins. But if you can't beat them join them. He has did that with Hopkins, and Mosley. If De La Hoya beats Pacman it will mean more to boxing than B Hop vs any of the above mentioned fighters to me! Please Discuss.....

Hell no. If DLH beats Pac he ain't gettin credit from anybody that don't hate Pac. He's supposed to win this fight. Hell, like the article the other day said, anything but a KO is a reputation killer for DLH.

Just like Hopkins was suppose to beat Trinidad, De La Hoya, Wright, Taylor, and Pavlik. NOne of these fighters are on the level that Pacman is on.
