What's Wrong With Pacquiao vs Dela Hoya Fight

There is something about the December showdown between Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao that sits uneasily with me.

I'm all for novelty, but it is a bit rich for De La Hoya to line up against an opponent who is essentially three weight divisions below him.

Antonio Margarito, Paul Williams, Miguel Cotto at welterweight or Sergio Mora at light middle are all more credible opponents. De La Hoya has not fought at 147lbs since 2001. Pacquiao has fought at 135lbs only once, last time out beating David Diaz for his world lightweight crown.

The question therefore is can Pacquiao carry the weight of a jump up two divisions? I believe that he is just not big enough, despite looking spectacular in his one outing at lightweight.

He is so much smaller than De La Hoya, who will come into the fight a stone heavier than he is at the weigh-in 30 hours before hand, effectively a middleweight.

This is classic big man versus little man stuff.
Romans 10:9
"That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved."

Kung pananglit walay combinasyon ug tinod-anay gyud ang away, mura ni ug si Tyson Vs. Holyfield nga away kay ang weight and height difference nila mao-mao ra sa Pacman Vs. Oka.

Sa heavyweight man gud wala nay limit sa weight pataas. Mao ng ang mga kalaban ni Tyson puro dagko kaayo ug taas pa niya. Mao nga ang iyang dag-anan puro upper cut kay gikan sa tiil ang iyang kusog. Kung straight man gud ang iyang suntok, siya ang mapalid kay mas gaan man siya, mao nga iposte iyang tiil sa ground, unya mo upper cut para inig ka igo, mura ug gi jackan ang kontra. Mao ni ang pinaka da best nga technique nga puedeng gamiton ni Pacquiao.

THis is because of business mao nga nadajun jud ang away nila ni Manny Vs. Oscar, there is a big difference between the above, but if we will try to recall the history guipildi ni Roy Jones Jr. ( middleweight ) si John Ruiz ( WBA heavyweight champion) we back the year 2003, i guess Manny can pull the upset.
