Oscar De La Hoya Says "Pacquiao Doesn't Hit Hard"

[Pullcounter]

You could pretty much see that he was anticipating punches before the even came. He just conceded that he couldn't match Pacquiao's output.

if dlh could see the punches coming why didnt he block them instead of taking them on the face???

makes you wonder if hatton can take it, if hatton can take it then could be a long night for pacman.

hatton will win... not because of how hatton will take pac's power, but by wrestling.

You know, i believe Oscar De La Hoya, I don't know if I believe the whole knock me out thing, But Pacman's punches didn't seem the same on De La Hoya then on Erik Morales, or Juan Manuel Marquez's first fight. Even David Diaz said he didn't think Pacquiao hit that hard until he got caught. De la Hoya is used to being hit by big guys, he fought Hopkins, Sturm, Mayorga, Mosley, Trinidad, Vargas, alot of strong or big guys, so Pacquiao's power was probably nothing to him. I think Pacquiao can hurt Ricky though,

so much excuses whenever pac wins. i thought mexicans are renowned for their honour and dignity. just a bunch of sore losers. never like to give credit, you guys are a disgrace.

Manny and his fans have also been giving a few excuses when he (Manny) can't finish fighters and when he lost he made a **** load of excuses, its normal for some fans to make excuses for their favorite fighter, but to categorized a whole race by what a few do is childish and ******.

pac became the whole package since diaz, so I do believe he can handle hatton's wrestling moves if he'll use them.

He picked on a little guy.
He got his as4 whoop and QUit.
And now he's running his mouth like a sore loser.......pathetic.

Exactly he picked Manny over Tony or Cotto because he thought it was going to be an easy fight and got EMBARRASSED for it.

I don't think it's that Pacman can't hit hard. Some fighters absorb more punishment than others without going down. I may be wrong but I think the only time dlh has been down is from a body shot. Take the great Sugar Ray Robinson....he had devastating one punch knock out power,.......yet he couldn't put Jake LaMotta down. He beat LaMotta to a pulp and was pounding him so hard that the referee was forced to step in and stop it....but at the stoppage, LaMotta wasn't even close to going down. LaMotta had a great chin. So does DeLahoya.

If I'm not mistaken Ike Quartey put Oscar on his ass for a brief second. Not a KO but definitely was a knock down.

i am not one of them but i agree with you. manny does have excuses when he loses. very funny ****** excuses. lol

the honor and diginity of mexico is overrated... that they are willing to let margacheato fight in mexico says it all

Trust me it isn't, the only reason they are letting Tony fight their is because they feel they suspended him without really knowing what was on his glove, if it does turn out to be plaster (which I think it will) Mexico won't let Tony fight there.

I'm sure you are not, I'm a Manny fan (being Mexican people some how think I'm lying) but its the HARDCORE fans that make a lot of people hate the guy and make up some ****** excuses for him as well.
