Manny cautioned on Oscar

WBC lightweight champion Manny Pacquiao’s former business manager Rod Nazario said yesterday Oscar dela Hoya may be too tough an opponent for the Filipino icon if the Golden Boy won’t be dehydrated making the catchweight limit of 147 pounds proposed for a Dec. 6 showdown.

“It’s a dangerous fight for Manny,” said Nazario who introduced Pacquiao to the US market in 2001 as a fearless, explosive and exciting bell-to-bell warrior. “The pay may be good but his honor is at stake.”

Nazario, however, said if Dela Hoya has a hard time bringing down his weight, he’ll be “lugaw” when the bell rings and Pacquiao could win. The danger is because Dela Hoya is taller and longer, Nazario said Pacquiao won’t be able to do to the Mexican-American what he did to David Diaz last month.

Pacquiao halted Diaz in a ninth round massacre. Nazario said Diaz was “ready-made” for Pacquiao who had no difficulty landing his blinding combinations on a slow-moving target.

Nazario said he spoke to Pacquiao before he left for Las Vegas last Thursday to confer with promoter Bob Arum on a possible Dela Hoya fight.

“Manny told me he’ll ask for $30 million to fight Dela Hoya,” said Nazario. “He couldn’t think of anyone else who can bring in a bigger payday. (Edwin) Valero might get him $5 million which is a big drop. My opinion is accepting a fight against Dela Hoya depends on the purse. How much the purse should be is up to Manny. He makes the final decision. Win or lose, Manny can bring home a big paycheck then he can retire if he wants to.”

Whether fighting Dela Hoya is a “good risk” or not, Nazario hesitated to suggest.

“Dela Hoya isn’t easy to beat,” said Nazario. “He’ll try to keep Manny away with his jab. And he’s tall. Maybe, Manny won’t be able to carry over his power to 147. Maybe, Dela Hoya will be able to take his punch. It’s okay if Manny fights someone like (Joel) Casamayor who’s brittle. Dela Hoya won’t easily go down.”

But Nazario said if Dela Hoya has difficulty reducing, he’ll be putty in Pacquiao’s hands.

“Remember (Erik) Morales in his third fight against Manny?” continued Nazario. “He had a problem making the weight. He had nothing left in the fight and Manny took him out easily. If Dela Hoya makes the weight with no problem, we’re in trouble.”

[r0mm3L]

official na gyud ni?

wala pa sad sa pacland

naa pa sa general discussion

[inyourface]

money is the source of all evil.. way connection hehe!

this is a very dangerous fight for money este manny!

better unify the belt @ 135.. less danger more money to come hehe..

[kamikaze426]

if manny can earn 20-30 million dollars for fighting DLH he should for it then retire while he is still healthy.

Since Cotto lost to Margarito and by the way Margarito rearranged the face of Cotto, I think DLH will lean on fighting Manny.

[flanker]

this could happen since Cotto is out of the picture on Oscar's list.

win or lose... the purse is good for Pac's campaign funds for his governatorial race next election..

@ brad : Dela Hoya will not fight Margarito,...... he knows he will lose that fight,...... thats why Mosley and Mayweather back down to fight Antonio Margarito

@ flanker : Pacquiao is still trying to pursue a political career??

win or lose,..... it's still in Pacquiao's favor,..... if he wins, he's boxing legacy will be up there with all the greatest or even better,....... if he loses, he'll still be greatly repected for standing up against a bigger and taller opponent (Dela Hoya is a BIG BIG name boxer,... he's not a nobody),.....

going from 135 lbs to 147 lbs,.... thats a BIG weight jump.

name me a boxer that has jumped 2 weight class division,...... i bet theres only a few of them,.... this fight will credit more to Pacquiao's boxing career,....

Dela Hoy is just looking for a last fight to end his boxing career with a BANG and also a nice pay check....... (but i think money has nothing to do with it,..... Oscar Dela Hoy alot of multi million dollar businesses aside from Golden Boy Production)
