ODLH vs. Pac...why are you guys hating this so much?

[Puerto Rican Punch]

Yes, this should be a very entertaining fight because Manny is a punching machine, and I am pretty sure that this being Oscar's "last fight" he will try to be a "Mexican Macho". I believe that this will be the most probable scenario. My opinion is that it is not a coincidence that Oscar selected the smallest opponent with the biggest name. If Oscar wanted to retire as the best, then he should fight the best on his division. Why he did not select Margarito after his great performance against Cotto (that still hurts me, but Margarito was the best man) ? Even Cotto could be a choice, who was indicating to be available to fight by the end of this year. What bothers me of this fight is that I perceive De La Hoya trying to regain glory, but setting the stage, I see him trying to take the easy road, and if that is his thought this may be his mistake... But, I admit it will be a very interesting fight and although, Oscar should win, I see Manny landing his left hand solidly against Oscar's face. I also there are possibilities that Oscar may fall due to his overconfidence, hard for Manny, but possible...

Sorry... I've posted my reasons for hating this fight so many times, I'm even making myself sick.




Maybe I'll start cutting and pasting my previous posts on these threads.

I'll only hate it if ODLH wins

That's the point exactly... My advice is watch the fight and cheer/root for PAC... In case PAC wins you will feel you're on top of the world... A heavy underdog doing the impossible... Priceless!!!

Who cares about Oscar?

The fights a charade. But I got no problem with it no more. If Pac really wants to see ICU that badly than let him. I'm paying and watching

I think it was best summed up in another thread:

Oscar doesn't have the "cojones" to fight either Margarito or Cotto.

You can slice it.... you can dice it. You can put whatever spin you want on it. That is what it all boils down to. And that is what a huge percentage of boxing fans probably thinks. And the "money" excuse is pretty weak. Boxing is supposed to be about fighting the best... about making the most compelling matches. It's not like lil' old Oscar NEEDS the money. Sh*t.... I'd respect him a little more if he just admitted he's scared sh*tless to face a REAL welterweight.

Although I think an Oscar win is inevitable, I'll be rooting for Pacquiao to plant his Golden Boy face on the canvas.

This should be our general sentiment towards this fight... Cheer for Pacquiao to do the impossible... If he succeed, we're all happy and it's a priceless moment... If he fails ... no big deal, he lost to a bigger guy...

But we can really expect PAC to give his best to win this fight and make it an entertaining and exciting fight... It's all worth the PPV money... Guaranteed...

So either way it's a "no-win" situation for De La Hoya. Hmmm..... I'm starting to warm up to the idea.

I wouldn't say that a fight that he will probably make about $100m from is a "no-win" situation!

...if oscar wins, everyone will say so what, and he rides off with a lackluster win, if he looses than he just looks silly. Just like any fight i don't make the match-up's i just watch them.
