MANILA, Philippines – There was no question about who Oscar de la Hoya thought deserved to take his throne as boxing’s best.
It was the same guy who virtually sent him to retirement.
Manny Pacquiao revealed to Filipino sportswriters on Monday (Sunday, US time) in Las Vegas a compliment de la Hoya made that sent Pacquiao goose bumps.
“Well, he told me I was the best fighter in the whole world.”
