If a picture paints a thousand words...

Oscar de la Hoya on picking Miguel Cotto over Manny Pacquiao-


"Cotto has a good chin and a big heart. He's a natural welterweight who hits hard and is also smart and fast. Pacquiao doesn't hit hard enough to knock anyone out in the welterweight division. I'm basing that on my fight against Pacquiao. I could've stood there and put my face in front of him and he couldn't hurt me."


Obviously, Oscar de la Hoya is still smarting from the boxing lessons that Manny Pacquiao taught him almost a year ago. This is expected from the Golden Boy whose legacy was tarnished by the smaller Filipino bomber when he quit on his stool in the 8th round rather then be knocked out in the latter rounds of the lopsided fight.

If in his mind Manny Pacquiao can't hurt him then why did he quit in the fight?

Anyway, notice what happened to Oscar's pretty face after he tasted Pacman's trademark pepper- flavored punches?




Fearless forecast: The Pacman will destroy the Boricua Bomber in 4.
