He'd be beating the number 1 P4P fighter in the world.

p4p fighters keep getting smaller and smaller, gotta beat one sooner or later.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
A win over Pacquiao means nothing for Oscar and a loss would just be ridiculous. This fight does NOTHING for Oscar's legacy....it can only help Pacquiao.
Oscar should stop being such a pussy and fight Margarito. Tony is a top level fighter he's tough, he's Mexican, he's mouthy, he's exciting, and he's in his prime AND he and Oscar have history with each other. I think a win over Margarito really would be the icing on Oscar's career and a KO win which is a remote possibility would be a great way to end a career. Meanwhile if Tony wins Oscar passes the torch to a new star and if Tony KO's Oscar then WOW what better way to set up a match vs Floyd Mayweather Jr.?
Reading from the replies, there's really no solid reason(s) why Hoya is picking Pacquiao (aside from money)...
This lead me to believe that there's some personal issues between Hoya and Pacquiao that needs to be settled on top of the ring...
We all agree that it's primarily due to the huge money but Hoya already had so much money. Why he wanted to get into this loss-loss situation and suffer all the criticism thrown at him for picking a smaller warrior?
There must be something personal in this fight...
Look at Oscar and Manny two of the nicest guys in boxing....are they really angry with each other or do they just want to line their pockets
Oscar is just out for money right now when he could really go down (as he should) as a GREAT fighter by even fighting Antonio Margarito much less beating him which Oscar COULD do as he does have the wheels to box for 12 rounds AND seeing how Oscar brings so much bank he could have the fight at 154 or a 150 catch weight where he's more comfortable.
There is really no reason for a De la Hoya-Margarito fight not to happen it adds more to his legacy!!!
Pacquiao should fight Casamayor or Valero or Hatton he COULD win all those fights but they aren't going to be easy for him. He's a beast but he's not superhuman
David Diaz is a very nice person too & I met him in Berkeley. And yet pac Destroys him.
This fight needs to happen coz Boxing needs it. If DLH retires without fighting Pac, the PPV King torch will not be passed. We thought PBF will carry it but he stinks the joint & run away with our money & refused to fight the toughest test.
If DLH retires without fighting Pac, The mainstream Audience will still have no interest in watching all these Great Matchup waiting for Pac. Pac vs JMM, J Diaz, Casa & Campbell will be stuck with just for the Diehard Boxing fans only. The Mainsteam Audience will surely gravitate more to MMA instead after DLH.
If they do the DLH- Margarito, Do you think Margarito can carry the PPV & Boxing's torch after DLHMargo surely will beat DLH but he is not that exciting or Charismatic. It will not help boxing whatsoever. I don't think Margo can even be bigger than MAB & EM even if he beat DLH. Critic will say the DLH's shot & Old. He will still be avoided.
Now imagine Pac winning against DLHHIs excitement will be multiplied more than doubled. More people will be hyped for this Little & exciting guy. IT will help boxing in a Big way.
Look at the guys who carry boxing from Ali, SRL, TYson, & DLHThey all have something in common. They have speed, Power, Charisma, they are all likeable & has Big Cajones. Cotto & Margarito got no speed & Charisma. PBF in not a Likable & has a small Cajones. There's no other Choice but Pac. Don't look anywhere else.
Hoya wants to retire with a KO win in his last fight?
I think ODLH should fight Yutaka Niida.
