5 REASONS WHY PACQUIAO CAN BEAT DE LA HOYA AND VICE VERSA
By Alex P. Vidal PhilBoxing.com Wed, 08 Oct 2008
1. Pacquiao has the speed, power, and heart.
2. Pacquiao has been the most active and busier in the ring in the last two years.
3. Pacquiao is younger.
4. Pacquiao is being trained by the man who has allegedly "discovered" De La Hoya's weakness or weaknesses when that trainer handled De La Hoya's training in the Golden Boy's ill-fated bout against Floyd Mayweather Jr.
5. Pacquiao, being the smaller fighter, can drill holes in De La Hoya's (weak?) breadbasket if he can't catch the Golden Boy's jaw. And he has 12 rounds to do the task.
5 REASONS WHY DE LA HOYA CAN BEAT PACQUIAO
1. De La Hoya still has the power and height advantage (this has always been crucial in any fight).
2. De La Hoya has the reach advantage (again, a crucial matter in any fight).
3. De La Hoya is fighting in the US territory (not in the Philippines) where he is a celebrity and being idolized by millions of fellow Americans both in the world of sports, showbiz and entertainment. Uncle Sam "would not want" a national superstar get humbled and humiliated before a worldwide TV by a rival from the third world, if you know what we mean here (expand your imagination). His outfit, the Golden Boy Promotions, is also co-promoter of the "Dream Match."
4. De La Hoya is still heavier even if he will meet Pacquiao in the welterweight category.
5. He would not win the United States' lone gold medal in boxing in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics if his I.Q is poor.
