Thread: Oscar: Cotto easier than Manny!!

I have been reading how de la Hoya's people are saying Manny would be a tougher opponent than Cotto. Boy what people would do to sell a fight.

we will just have to wait and see. manny infact is the p4p king. the only thing against pac is that his smaller. sometimes fighters know some are that good their size can not be overlooked. oscar is definitly not overlooking how smaller pac is. he does know him and pacs trainer well. he must know what his talking about. oscar could be worried more because of pacs speed and unlimited stamina.

Oscar is different from Oscar's people, unless you have direct quote of Oscar saying this then you should change the title of this thread because it misrepresents the situation.

Oscar people must be smoking crack. Now that I think about it I think I want to see Cotto-Pac. Yeah that would be nice

oscar will be an easier fight than cotto . pac just got to get to the 7th round with oscar and he can pick him apart from there while oscar is gas once again.

Good point. I doubt Oscar himself would say something that ridiculous. His people, however, are laughable, at how transparent their desperate attempts to hype a fight with Pacquiao really are.

Stylistically Pacman vs Oscar would be a good matchup. But realisticly Oscar is way too big. I mean Oscar has weighed in as high as 160lbs whereas Manny weighed in for his debut at 106lbs. I know that neither of these are either fighters natural weight but for me Manny at Lightweight has gone as high as he can EFFECTIVELY go and Oscar would probably demand a catchweight of 150.
I personally would prefer to see Manny take over and unify the 135 division and I would like to see Oscar fight the winner of the Cotto-Margarito fight. I certainly wouldn't write Oscar out of winning a fight between himself and the winner of that either.
The only thing is say he does take on the winner of that fight and beat them what would happen then? Mayweather would all of a sudden want a rematch with Oscar and then retirement would be out of the window for Oscar as it would then be too much of a money making event for the money making machine that is Oscar De La Hoya!

obviously this is a publicity stunt to make this fight happen. Because if Glory is what Oscar and PAC wants then they should fight the best in the welterweight division(winner of Cotto-Margarito).
Just so happens that Oscar-PAC combo could probably sell more than Oscar vs. ............ or PAC vs......................

To reiterate this fight is not for Glory or divisional supremacy but a delusional attempt for a mega buck showdown between some of the biggest names in boxing currently

True, very true. Didn't mean to mislead anyone with the post at all (not my style). Just meant to spur anaylysis and conversation. Regardless, knowing de la Hoya and his money grubbing, I wouldn't put it past him to actually claim that publicly sometime in the future. He is a smart guy and I wouldn't put it past him to OK his people to make the comment, either. It's all speculation, I must admit.

I read that Arum told Roach to shut up dogging Oscar as its unprofessional and not making it any easier doing a deal.

Freddie seems to think Manny is superman.

This is absolutely ridiculous. Easier money maybe, but not easier in the ring.

The reality is it's just for the money, logic dictates PAC has a minute chance of winning let alone completing the 12 rounds.

Its a money fight no doubt, i cannot see Pacquaio fighting Oscar before fighting Hatton. Oscar is probably talking about fighting the winner.

Why would pac not fight Hatton at 140 (hich in mosts eyes is a pickem) get a truck load of money anyway then move up again and fight Oscar?

To answer that question: Because Hatton is not available this year.
