Manny Pacquiao vs. Oscar De La Hoya: The Exciting One-Sided Fight

Contributor Written on October 10, 2008

I am a typical Filipino who worships Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao and his boxing prowess, but him fighting Oscar De La Hoya is another story. As much as I would like to see my fellow Pinoy brother win against the golden boy, I just know deep down that De La Hoya will win.

I know I will see my man get destroyed, just like Arturo Gatti got destroyed by De La Hoya awhile back. It would take some sort of miracle for Pacquiao to win against De La Hoya and his great height advantage, power, and brilliance in the ring. For goodness' sake, Pacquiao could barely beat Juan Manuel Marquez—what's going to happen against a taller, stronger, and smarter foe?

This is my first article, so please take it easy on the criticism!
