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!

WOW Christopher!!!! I take my hat off you. All of the Filipinos I've read in web sites, you my friend are the most intelligent one. I admire your honesty, which not your countrymen appear to have. Yeah, this fight is a clear mismatch. But I'm not giving De la Hoya credit for this though. Fightin' Pacquiao, a good fighter but way too small for the 147lbs, is just a cowardly move right there.
And about what you said of Marquez, I also respect you man. The majority believes Pacquiao blew Marquez off as if was KO or UD. I was rootin' for Marquez, but I accept Pacquiao's victory in their rematch. See? Those are the fighters Pacman should be involved, not bigger, more framed opponents like De la Hoya. This are the fights that are killin' boxin'.
See you later dude. Nice article. Keep up the good work.

Thank you very much! It is sad that the sweet science is going the way it's going man. I really think this fight could end up damaging the sport of boxing if pacquiao really gets hurt. The only money fighters I see today really are Kelly Pavlik and Paul Williams, but everybody is scared shitless to fight them.

If they were the same height and weight Manny would wipe the floor with the golden boy, this is coming from a neutral perspective as I support neither but have watched both plenty of times, I think the size difference could make it a v.good fight, im going with Pac Man on points decision all the same but it will be close.
