The Pacquiao - De La Hoya Dream Boxing Fight
A dream come true for all the Filipinos world wide Pacquiao a former bantamweight fighter, and De La Hoya a top notch welterweight fighter. I don’t care if Pacquiao is far smaller than De La Hoya, but I’m sure Pacquiao will give us a very good fight whether he win or lose. Manny Pacquiao is truly worth it for a $100-million welterweight match-up.
It has been announced that De La Hoya and Pound For Pound superstar Manny Pacquiao have agreed to fight December 6, 2008 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, the fight will be at the welterweight limit of 147 lbs. On August 28, 2008 a teleconference was held by Golden Boy Promotions to officially announce the fight.
Pacquiao is the current toast of boxing and the 29-year-old left-hander is to boxing what Kobe Bryant is to basketball. Following the retirement of Floyd Mayweather, Pacquiao became the recipient of the mythical title of pound-for-pound king, having defeated three of Mexico’s premier warriors — Erik Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera and Juan Manuel Marquez. -ESPN
“I have agreed in principle to accept the Dec. 6 fight against Oscar De La Hoya. This will be the toughest test in my boxing career because of the reach and height advantage of my esteemed opponent, aside from his great boxing skills,†Pacquiao said.
