Dela Hoya responds to PACQUIAO challenge

link --> ROACH BELIEVES PACQUIAO CAN BEAT DE LA HOYA

"Roach said: ”to be honest with you I think Manny can beat Oscar.” He said Pacquiao’s speed would be too much for “an old man” referring to De La Hoya.

For the fight to happen, Roach, who trained De La Hoya for his fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr said “he (De La Hoya) must at least come down to 147 pounds.”

With Mayweather’s announced retirement the planned September rematch that De La Hoya was looking at is out and his other possible opponent Ricky Hatton has made it clear he wouldn’t be ready to fight in September.

This makes a Pacquiao-De La Hoya fight a possibility although the question as to the Golden Boy’s willingness to come down in weight may eventually determine whether the fight would happen."


This is a credible assessment since Roach trained both Dela Hoya and Pacquiao and he can have an accurate assessment of both fighter's abilities...

.

he's just hyping the fight if it ever happens.

The idea of this fight coming off is ludicrous, it would never happen.

This is silly. Oscar will barely make 147, so Pac would have to come in at 143 or so and Oscar would be 158 on fight night.

Boy, Pac is sure looking for the money right now. He lost to JMM 2X in a lot of people opinion at 130. Diaz will give him a tough fight. I don't think he can beat Hatton at 140, much less ODLH at 147. Little man is talking crazy. Maybe Hatton should challenge Pavlik.
