Oscar De La Hoya vs Manny Pacquiao

Possibly the biggest boxing match this year, Manny Pacquiao and Oscar De La Hoya are set to fight this Saturday night.

This is a face off of two pound for pound boxing Kings, and is looking to be an awesome fight.

Oscar De La Hoya has the advantage over Pacman in areas such as weight, height and reach, but Pacman is enjoying the high point of his career, whereas is could be argued that De La Hoya has already peaked in terms of his boxing form.

Manny Pacquiao also has the massive support of the Philippines behind, support so strong that rebels and government forces actually hold steadfast to a temporary ceasefire whenever he boxes. Pacman’s aggressive style is one that boxing fans love, and has made him an extremely successful boxer so far in his career.

However De La Hoya, the “Golden Boy”, has had fantastic career, which arguably tops Pacman’s record, and we don’t need to remind what a boxing legend De La Hoya has become.

But..it all comes down to Saturday night.

Can Manny Pacquiao use his aggression and heart to overcome De La Hoya?

Or will De La Hoya use his advantages in weight, height and reach, and hold on to his legendary boxing reputation?

We want you thoughts and predictions! Post them as comments below..

  1. Despite Manny’s heart and hand speed, I just can’t drink that kool-aid. His lack of a defensive game and Oscar’s reach will let Oscar win this one in a boring decision. Besides, if Manny had his plate full with Juan Manuel Marquez, how do you think he’ll fare against De La Hoya? Oscar won’t be knocking him out. He doesn’t seem to be able to do that anymore. But he’ll win. It’s a shame that the economy is tanking, because otherwise this would probably sell a lot better on PPV…
