Comments on: De La Hoya to Fight on after Pacquiao: Could Hatton, Chavez Jr, or Mayweather be next?

If nothing else I think De la Hoya will feel embarassed standing next to the 5′ 6″ petite Manny who is an all time great. This is a huge risk for him and a virtual no brainer for De La Hoya (I am disappointed in the man, lost my respect for him )

I guess he needs a big name, rather than a career defining fight at this stage of his life, which is why he won’t be fighting the tough guys (margharito, etc).

I smell a De La Hoya V Mayweather II next year and frankly who really cares now anyway?

I thought weight divisions were invented to stop this kind of grotesque match up.

Super athletes like top class boxers, really think that they can defy the laws of nature and in many respects they can.

This is all about the $$ so how can you begrudge them. They are adults after all, and Manny is a super athlete. It’s still a meaningless, grotesque match-up in my opinion.

So Manny beats de la Hoya, or vice Versa… and…??? I give up.

Im a big Fan of De la hoya, a skilled boxer and big time bussinessman. but with his upcoming fight with the lightweight pacquiao
i can see him struggle with the lightning quickness of pacquaio, i dont know why de la hoya even consider figthing pacquiao as his opponent, but i can see the big time money here.. he may look slow pairing him with pacquiao circling him around and may land big bombs to de la hoya’s face, he didnt do good with forbes, he should have fought someone slower, big thing here is that his former trainer is the trainer of pacquiao, i can see de lahoya loose via unanimous decision…..

after he fights manny, why not take on calderon or arce, or a 11 year old.

and he wonders why real Mexican boxing fans will never accept him.
