Is this a joke??? Both do not belong in the same class!

It's happening tonight.

My money is on De la Hoya:p

If some of his prize money goes towards helping the Houston Dynamo get that new stadium, I'm all for him!


(I don't support the Dynamo personally, but I want to see MLS as a whole do well - and de la Hoya is one of the Dynamo's current owners.)

Rooting for the"Pac Man".

This is nothing short of pure fantasy, hype:D

EDIT: WTF man! Golden Boy says no mas. There goes my money:frustrated:

_{Pacman is now pound-for-pound the best in Asia and the world!}

ouch. Hopefully it wasn't irl money.

yes in irl:frustrated:

Nice match...Manny won. YAY!

It was lopsided man:p My money man looked like heavyweight and tired in comparison.

hey the match is over......Oscar........ouch.......

lol quite a nice fight. but yeah, how odd. The Goldenboy wasn't so aggressive w/ Pacman w/ the 1st set of rounds. hmm dunno...

~and I was jumping out of the theater seats everytime pacman gives great blows. :heh:

wew~ go pacman~ go pinoy~ :p

personally, i'm more disappointed at how the match ended. I mean, where's the De la Hoya we've seen before? it looked like Manny just manhandled him with ease.

i don't know, i know i should be happy b'coz Pacman won the match but... it just seems so empty for a match entitled "The Dream Match" ;_;

Boxing needs Manny vs Mayweather @ 140, though I wouldn't mind seeing Manny make a fool out of Hatton first.

Don't forget about Edwin Valero, the so-called knockout artist with a 24-0-0 24KO's(19 in 1st round) card who is forever wanting a bout with Pacman. But he wouldn't last long, most of his fights have been with mediocre boxers and even The former big three in the super featherweight division (Barrera, Morales, and Marquez) would slap the living daylights out of him.

Mayweather needs to crawl out of his retirement as many see that he only retired just so he can establish himself as one of the best by defeating the Golden Boy in a close contest in his last bout and end it with a perfect record. We need Manny X Mayweather ASAP. Now that is what we can deem a "dream match" considering that Floyd is still not past his prime and Manny is at his peak.

I also love how almost all of the so-called BOXING ANALYSTS A.K.A SELF PROCLAIMED BOXING EXPERTS predicted a De La Hoya Knockout and said the odds of Pacquiao winning were so low that at best his win would be by way of split decision. They also said that Pacman had everything to gain and nothing to lose, and look how he earned it.

Yeah, Manny is much better this night. :heh:

I thought their assessment was realistic. I rewatched one of De La Hoya's match and he was able hang on with the number-one pound for pound boxer in the world - Mayweather Jr.

Mayweather payed too much respect to Oscar, if he had taken more risks he could've dominated Oscar. Manny stopped paying respect to Oscar and he ended up humilating him, Manny Vs Mayweather could be a fight for the ages, I gotta go with pbf though, his defense is too good.

^ I'm going for the Pac Man on this one. It's nice to see a black guy get destroyed by an asian.

Sports Stereotypes FTL

Seriously you can't place Hatton out of the bracket, he lost one fight, the hardest fight of his career and you make it out as if he is done for... Anyway I was watching the Amir Khan fight and it was a good knockout but not the greatest of opponents to brag about, though this should boast his confidence.

it was great to see the golden boy turn to copper

Don't count on him making a fool of Hatton. Hatton is being trained by Floyd Senior.

He's proven he's the best Light-welterweight around, he's never been beaten in that class. It'd make for a great fight, thats for sure.

The way Hatton fights is perfect for Manny to pick apart... and if Floyd can knock out Hatton than Manny can for sure...
