DelaHoya vs. Pacquiao - SIZE is not everything

[XaduBoxer]

All of this hype-man hysteria has me thinking of a clip I saw ?? be back

And request for a poll update there Rooster ?

Poll update: 11-7 still in favor of buying the PPV...

BTW you can call me "FightingCock" or "GameCock" (rooster )

[Dizaster]

I'm just getting tired of seeing all these fuking threads they keep making for a fight that isn't even made yet!!!!!!!!!

Keep this crap in one thread, you're wasting good space, and you're not going to change anyone's mind with this crap.

I like Manny, but you guys are making me want to seem him get pounded into oblivion.

You're over doing it.

I think i've seen more Cotto v Mayweather threads in the last few months, and one of those fighters is stone cold retired...

What's good for the goose must be good for the gander..

I'm completely against ODLH v PAC, but always when there is a shadow of superfight looming, topics get beaten to death over and over.. Hatton Mayweather I think had 12 topics on the first page alone, all basically saying the same thing...

I find it saddening though that people actually have to be spending thread after thread DEFENDING the validity of this fight... When there are equal amount of thread actually BEGGING for other fights to happen, that probably won't because the money isn't there, and ODLH is pulling the strings....

It's backwards I tells ya..

Confusing as phuk if you ask me, I come in here thinking the fight is a done deal



I don't want to see Manny get pounded into oblivion
And if the match is made, I will rooting with all of my heart for the little guy

[rjj tszyu]

Wladimir Klitschko vs Chris Byrd
George Foreman vs Michael Moorer
George Foreman vs Joe Frazier
Evander Holyfield vs Mike Tyson
Buster Douglas vs Mike Tyson
Lennox Lewis vs Mike Tyson
Tommy Hearns vs Roberto Duran
Alexis Arguello vs Ray Mancini


I could go on....I mean the only reason you remember the "David vs Goliath" fights is because they are sensational due to the size difference but big guys USUALLY beat the smaller guys which is why that is ho-hum and common place. I could list more big guys beating little guys that you would ever care to read about.


Your thread is a SAD attempt to legitimize a fight that isn't worth watching....even if it was FREE

Lyle who are you calling David and who are you calling Goliath in the Holyfield-Tyson matchup? Holyfield was taller but Tyson was the natural Heavyweight. Tommy Hearns was taller than Tyson but I certainly wouldn't have said he was BIGGER. I could make a list of fighters that have stepped up and beat bigger guys just like your list.

Michael Spinks v Larry Holmes x2 (although I didn't agree)
Roy Jones Jr v John Ruiz
Floyd Mayweather v Oscar De La Hoya
Michael Moorer v Evander Holyfield
Roy Jones Jr v James Toney
SRL v Marvin Hagler
Roberto Duran v SRL

This list too could go on and on.

I would be quite interested in a ODLH-Pac fight even though I would rather see Oscar fight Marg I just can't see it happening. I'd be willing to bet that it would be on of the biggest selling fights in history anyway. Just the fact that its Oscars last fight would have even non boxing fans buying it I think.

[TitoFan]

I'm hyped about this fight since it's a win-win situation for both boxers;

Oscar wins - he defeated the currently recognized no. 1 P4P best boxer in the world. He gets no credit for beating up on a much smaller man, and rather gets ridiculed for refusing to fight someone like Margarito, who would mess up his Golden Boy face.

Oscar loses - there's no shame in losing to the currently recognized no. 1 P4P best boxer in the world.
He gets doubly ridiculed for losing to the much smaller man. Bye-bye legacy.

Pacquiao wins - will be in excellent position to call out PBF from retirement. PBF vs. PAC will be another huge fight for boxing fans.

Pacquiao loses - he lost to the bigger boxer...

.

There...... I corrected it for you.

Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield may have started out in different weight classes BUT Holyfield was the bigger guy he was not only taller but he was in better shape than Tyson, he was stronger and had more stamina and in the rematch they both weighed in at 218.

And if you don't like that then how about Bowe-Holyfield or Lewis-Holyfield?

Your corrections is the general sentiments... I rather wait 'til the fight is over before giving my final assessment... that's IF the fight will be made...

Yep being a huge Evander fan I loved Bowe-Holyfield II and I actually scored the Lewis-Holyfield II fight a draw so in my eyes the right results came out of them 2 fights just in the wrong order

[The Rookie Fan]

Does anybody remember the last time somebody went up a total of 7 weight classess to fight? Help me cause I don't.

Yeah it's SAD... very SAD... for DelaHoya...

[amat]

so when the Pacquiao news is a little slow, Saddoboxer bumps threads from a year ago.

Also, while you were pointing out that Lyle was wrong, you were wrong yourself in saying this was a no lose situation for De La Hoya. sooo....

Basically I wanted to neg rep you but I couldn't.

[CGM]

of course you realize that in PAC - DLH size turned out to be irrelevant. It was all about fitness and conditioning, age, whatever. DLH just wasn't there. There was no glory in beating that version of DLH, that's for sure.

I was looking for some Chagaev-Valuev info and I dig up this thread...

You know it's lots of fun reading some old postings... Some fun at the expense of others...

That explained the bump... Have some fun...
