De la Hoya chose to fight Manny Pac at welter and was not forced by him. Oscar did it because he would look like a bully for makiing him fight at light middle. Oscar tried it against Shane the first time and that back fired too. Oscar is a promoter now so has to talk crap to promote his fighter. I would like to see Pac v JMM probably at light welter but do not think Manny would accept the fight at that lower weight.
