Can Manny really take on the Golden Boy? What do you think guys? Is he that confident to take on the Oscar dela Hoya. So scared for him, scared that he might take a beating and suffer a loss just when he is about to retire with a good record!

Oscar is not as good as he is before and Manny is getting even stronger after every fight. Oscar only throws lots of jabs and rarely throws power punches just like his fight with Mayweather, Manny's advantage is always his speed and agile movements that comes with a combination of punches. But we can't take the possibility that Oscar is also preparing lots of counter attacks for those. After all his the golden boy.

I am scared for Manny as well. Our family has been a fan of Oscar since then. We have witnessed his fights and how he won the battles. He is really a great fighter. Manny is smaller than him and has a smaller reach compared to Oscar. It's just so scary.

My main concern here is if Manny can take ODLH's punches. We all know Pacquiao gets hit, although most of the time, he hits back harder and faster. A clear and clean hit from Oscar may prove too much for Manny and the fact that ODLH has a longer reach makes it more dangerous. Manny should really improve on his defense and not rely only on his speed. Pacquiao should fight an intelligent fight, stick to the gameplan, remain focus and be able to adapt in any situation during the fight. Go Manny!!!!

The only advantage of Manny Pacquiao is his speed and his shortness! He is so short compare to Dela Hoya and that is an advantage! lol. Oscar cannot hit him because he is way beyond below the belt and for that reason miracle will happen and he can beat Dela Hoya!

Manny will take it with miracle! The fight is so much commercialize in the sense that they are just doing this promoting for this fight in the sake of "good money" Not a good fight to watch. Money talks in boxing and that is what they are doing right now.
Promoters should find and match quality pairings and not like this one which is very uncommon. They are doing this because they really want money. Pacquaio also wants money and they all want money that is why they are promoting this a lot just to earn the money of the people who will watch.
