Sources: De La Hoya, Pacquiao agree to Dec. 6 fight in Vegas

6" of reach advantage! and dela hoya knows how to box and also has pop in his punches. I don't disregard the intangibles, but man...

Why would being a southpaw be an advantage?

Why would being a southpaw be an advantage?

I've read Oscar had difficulties dealing with southpaws... It's also a general assessment that southpaws are at an advantage over right-handed boxers since southpaws are used in fighting with right-handers while right-handers does not have the luxury of meeting southpaws on regular basis...

Mayweather: For Pacquiao with the hopes of fighting Pacquiao, and Pac being less difficult at the bargaining tables.

Vargas: For Pacquiao. Vargas would root for the Grand Wizard of the Klan if he fought De La Hoya.

Chavez Sr: For De La Hoya, with the hopes that his son can fight DLH.

Barrera: Voted for him rooting for DLH, since DLH is Mexican/American, but not sure. Was his split with GBP on good terms?

Margarito: Rooting for DLH with the slim hope that he can fight DLH in 2009.

It was in good terms but both parties are not really happy with their partnership... Barrera feeling he didn't get the big fights and substantial support from GBP and GBP feeling Barrera didn't deliver the numbers to the company/promotions...
