Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Pacquiao is Probably The Best I Ever Fought

[Dramacyde]

Lmao. Even B-Hop was better than Pac Roid

[BLASTER1]

No it wasn't. He was dead man walking weight drained. Fighting 10 pounds lighter than he had fought on 10 years. Overlooked Pac and had he not quit he would have been knocked out. He cherry picked the wrong opponent. Pac was stronger, quicker and the had the best footwork I have ever seen in a boxer.

You telling me that it wasnt pathetic when Pac would throw a punch and DLH would cringe at the fact tgat if he did throw anything in the latter rounds he would of been K/Od.
I would have more respect if Hoya had of gone out swinging not scared.

It's true. No one dominated dela hoya in his entire career except Pac.

Prime mosley, prime tito, prime Hopkins, prime mayweather, all would beat pac and in some cases stop him. Prime Oscar likely beats him too.

So you really brought up Hopkins?

Kitchen Utensils is wearing his promoter hat.

That's not what you told Ring Magazine:


De La Hoya - August 2009

Best fighter: Julio Cesar Chavez He had it all. He could box, he could punch, he had an iron chin. And he had guts. He had the whole package. He wasn't 25 when he fought me but he was still an elite fighter.

Best boxer: Pernell Whitaker He was very elusive, very hard to hit. He was very slippery.

Best puncher: Arturo Gatti. This kid, may he rest in peace, didn't catch me flush on the chin but his punches were so heavy, heavier than Ike Quartey's. I dont know what he had in his hands.

Quickest hands: Manny Pacquiao His punches don't come from your basic boxing style; they come from all sorts of weird angles. That'ss what makes him difficult.

Quickest feet: Pernell Whitaker He was very elusive. He could spin you around and not exert much energy doing it. He did it with ease. It was so natural to him. Footwork starts everything.

Best defense: Pernell Whitaker Again, he was slippery, elusive. It was hard to crack that defense.

Best chin: Julio Cesar Chavez I hit him with some shots. In our second fight, I said to myself, My gosh. How can he not go down?

Best jab: Ike Quartey He had an incredible jab. The special thing about it was that he threw it from his chin or sometimes he would leave it loose in the air. You wouldnt notice him throwing it. His jab was very powerful, one of his best weapons. And when it landed, it really hurt. It didnt sting; it hurt. Like a hammer coming down on you.

Strongest: Fernando Vargas He just felt strong. It was so hard to handle him. I felt his weight. His punches were heavy and strong. He was solid. We all know what happened there, though: He had a little help.

Smartest: Bernard Hopkins He is the type of fighter who gets in your head. For our press tour, he was always polite, very nice. No trash talk, no nothing. After the fight, I realized: He did that because he didn;t want me to fight angry, to try to take his head off. At the time I fought him, he didnt like pressure from his opponent because he didnt like fighting the whole three minutes. He is one smart cookie.

I remember this article. Does anyone really believe that Arturo Gatti was the hardest puncher Oscar ever faced or that old Chavez was the best he ever faced? Oscar stays lying. That's what addicts do though.

oscar was a piece of shyt when he fought pac! a prime oscar beats pac !

[McNulty]

The bs this dude has to say to promote

I know man, nothing is sacred.

Floyd beat that áss, never mind fighters like Sweet Pea, Tito, Ike, etc. Ike's jab would smash Manny's nose into his brain.

Prime mosley, prime tito, prime Hopkins, prime mayweather, all would beat pac and in some cases stop him. Prime Oscar likely beats him too.
