Dela Hoya responds to PACQUIAO challenge

[XaduBoxer]

"De La Hoya, 35, previously had planned one bout in December after fighting Floyd Mayweather, but he said on Thursday that he would now have just one fight in 2008 after plans for a rematch against Mayweather were scuttled last week by that boxer's retirement.

He said he was committed to fighting at 70kg (154 lbs.), meaning any opponent would have to adjust to that weight.

"Manny Pacquiao is calling me out. He can jump up two or three weight classes and challenge me," De La Hoya said."

Oscar fought Forbes at 150 lbs., I think he can offer PAC to fight him at 147 lbs. instead of 154 lbs. (70 kg.)...

No way man.

ODH needs to go down 2 weight div and fight Pac there.

More like it... PAC will be very happy if ODH can go down to 140... but ODH needs to cut one of his legs in order to make 140 lbs...

Why doesn't he just fight Jason Litzau

[No Contest]

Sounds like he's setting up a Sergio Mora fight...I actually think this is a good fight. I might actually root for Oscar. They are both from East LA, and I think its a good matchup. Mora's natural size and speed against Oscar's better abilities.

Problem with DelaHoya is that, he has no belt... PAC is aiming for a world title belt in his 4th weight division this coming June 28 and after that (if PAC is successful) he might be aiming for another world title belt in his 5th weight division... DelaHoya has no belt to offer...



PAC going for 4 ...
