Pac vd DLH will be another Changing of the Guard!!

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...

Naah,Its about the Dollars.You were Right the first time

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...

De La Hoya isn't a money chaser, he has foughten the best opposition, I truly think he believes Pacquaio is the best challenge for him, and the biggest fight he could have to leave his career. I think its more that this fight will bein the spotlight of sports media like Mayweather-De La HOya, and that Margarito-De La HOya wouldn't be this big, not because of the money, but because De La HOya wants to go out with a bash.

Because Pac is on the top of the hill. Beating Pac would greatly raise him up.

According to who? I ODLH beats PAC I will give him very little credit.
Nothing in this fight will improve my view of Oscar nor will it add any credit to his legacy.

MAYBE Hoya wants Pac to be destroyed by a Mexican.
