De La Hoya Praises Pacquiao's Speed, Not His Power

[Random1]

I'm guessing, DLH was comparing PAC's power to fighters he has faced in the past. Maybe the interviewer should've asked how PAC's power was for a guy his size, what y'all think?

I think you're using reason on NSB. That is against the rules.

[MELLY-MEL...]

I would agree Pac's punches that night on Oscar were not the hardest he was used to throwing. Because Pac knew if he got hit solid by Oscar, it could turn the fight.

It was a tactical move by Pac and his team. Use speed over the aging Oscar, because the last thing to go from a fighter is his POWER. And Oscar still had it. Speed over strength. Hit and run.

bingo.................

YES i think delahoya was comparing manny's power to BIG fighters he has faced in the past.

PAC's on roids and he didn't even hit hard?!?... guess roids are useless after all... maybe, senior is just playin' PAC... lol

It's always been his speed that's overlooked and his power that's overrated.

Oscar De La Hoya says the speed of Manny Pacquiao is unbelievable. Pacquiao stopped the retired former champion last December in what was considered a major upset. Pacquiao battered De La Hoya during the fight, using his fast hands and quick movement to overwhelm the much bigger opponent. The win made Pacquiao a mega-star in the sport. [details]

Man Ive been saying this for the longest, Yea of course he has speed bt the power isnt there.

weight = power

DLH WAS NEVER HURT IN THIER FIGHT just severely embarrassed.

This is a message to samurai and mr pink

I could see that.

In the corner, didn't Nacho say "I'm stopping it. He's too fast"?

That would lend credibility to what DLH is saying. Despite taking all those shots, Oscar was never on ***** street.

Are you serious? Dude was freaking out of it after the 7th round.

MP doesnt sound so confident in the press conferences and looks a bit worried? Roach and MP sound and look worried during interviews with reporters and when sized Cotto looks SOLID compared to MP and thats weeks out before they BOTH hit their PRIME. Cotto's main focus in camp is Conditioning, Speed, Defense! Team Cotto is not expecting a tough physical fight like Cheato,Clottey,Judah--COTTO got busted up and still prevailed. Cotto is a smart boxer when not worried about a busted eyes,loaded gloves. PAC is a hell of a fighter but this is not DLH,HATTON this guy can seriously damage MP mentally like Hatton.
