Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Mayweather-Pacquiao Happens, Floyd Will Win

[BoZz]

The President of Golden Boy Promotions, Oscar De La Hoya, expects the mega-fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. to take place. Twice the sides have negotiated and twice the negotiations fell through, but De La Hoya feels there is too much money involved for the fight not to happen. Pacquiao comes back on May 7 against Shane Mosley at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Mayweather is dealing with a few legal issues before he resumes his boxing career.

everyone who knows the boxing game knows that

Right . .. . .

Margarito is a volume puncher, isn't a Southpaw nor a counter puncher.

Against a Southpaw the Shoulder Roll is nullified, thus no rolling and firing back with uppercuts or straights like he's done before.

On the other side. Floyd has a great straight right which can be very effective against a southpaw.

Still, Manny takes it.

Floyd destroyed all the south paws he faced. Judah was going to get KTFO and he hit low. Floyd does not shoulder roll south paws he puts his hands in front of them and he positions his feet on the outside of south paws so that he cuts the ring off on them. You would know this but I am sure you dont watch boxing just Manny. Bahahahahahhahhaa

ther anrt many rivalries you can build in boxing to this scale, after he beats pac, who else's nuts are all the fight fans gonna jump on once he beats pac? lets face it, may is one of those love him or hate him fighters, half his ppv comes from ppl who wanna see him get beat, he is just building this fight before he xcashes out, im not saying he will never fight again, but he is all about oney and this is big oney, you can already see countries bidding to hold the fight ffs.....

C'mon bro...you REALLY believe this fight (if it happens) will happen anywhere besides Vegas?

I don't think there's anything else that can be done to build this fight besides both guys doing a stare down at the 1st press conference (which in itself will be an epic moment).

SHUT UP OSCAR.

I love you, but you don't promote either guy at the moment, and you've said this **** a million times already.

If *******s like this didn't stick their noses into the fight so much it might already be made.

Oscar also said Hatton would beat Mayweather. Chill out with these picks, Golden Boy.

[Babalu11]

Whether you like Oscar or not, he's telling the truth. The only thing that worries me is if Floyd still has his legs and if he can still be the same after this long time away from the ring. Pacquiao has beaten fighters with heart that come forward. Pacquiao can have his moments in the fight, but mayweather outclasses him. Again, who knows if Mayweather still has it.

Right . .. . .

haha thanks for clarifying that about Margarito, I had no idea he wasn't a southpaw, or a counter puncher, damn you learn something new here every day haha. That's my exact point genius, Margs is an orthodox fighter just like May and FAR less accurate than May and he had no problems landing on Pac. Anyone with any boxing knowledge knows that the most dangerous shot against a south paw is what??? The straight right hand..which is Floyd's best punch. Floyd will have to be very careful for Pac's straight left as he has shown vulnerability for that in the past, but beyond the str8 left Pac has nothing to bother Floyd. Average right hook, below average jab, couple hybrid punches. And if you think Floyd's uppercut isn't going to be countering Manny's str8 left you may wanna rewatch the Cotto fight.

You are correct in the fact that the should roll is somewhat nullified, but since Pac's jab is essentially garbage and nothing more than a range finder for his straight left, Floyd will just use his high guard like he did against Mosley, and counter it with his left hook. This is not to mention Pac will be eating jabs to both the head and body all day, and as the fight progresses those will turn into lead rights.

Wow.. you made that look so easy. You should let them know that one !! Speaking about Hatton, Cotto, Clottey, Marquez, Barrera, Morales, Clottey and Margarito.

Nobody can stop Pacquiao but Mayweather. Not Mosley, Not Bradley, Not Berto, Not Marquez.
