I am going with De la Hoya and the why is because he's hot. Sorry I'm sure that's not what you wanted to hear !

De la Hoya will win....but only because Pacquaio will be in a higher weight class which will slow him down.

I bet my house, my wife, and my ferrari. Pacman by KO.

(P.S.: I have none of those mentioned)

  Oscar hasn't been knocked out by several top level fighters at welterweight and light middleweight. Iron chin. The only time he's been stopped is by a liver shot that could take any fighter out, and that by a much bigger man who held the light heavyweight title recently. I seriously doubt Manny could knock Oscar out...So, it's good you're just betting imaginary things, lol.

I think it's a ridiculous match up. I'm no longer a De La Hoya fan because of this and I've stuck with him through a lot because of what he's done for the sport. This is it, though. I've had it. Chicken s**t way to leave the sport. Fight Margarito? No. Margarito is Oscar's size. Manny had to move up something like four weight classes just to fight at lightweight -135 lbs. He's looking practically muscle bound at this weight on his little frame. Oscar, several inches taller, very broad shouldered has grown up into a genuine light middleweight-154 lbs. That's such a big difference, athletically speaking. Pacquiao has only fought once as a lightweight and now he's to move up in weight AGAIN so soon and move up two weight classes at that. Oscar drops down one from light middle, from what I understand to welterweight. It's bogus. Oscar has really lost me on this one. Of course, Pacquiao on the other hand has really got some guts to take this fight, even with the huge payday. I don't see Pacquiao being able to survive against Oscar at welterweight. I don't even see how he can MAKE welterweight with his faculties intact. I think Oscar will knockout Manny assuming he can catch him flush. But, if Manny actually wins, I'll be pretty happy. Rooting for him, actually.
