Advice:
Multi-Weight world champion Oscar De La Hoya (W35-L5-D0) faces an intruiging battle this coming December 5th when he steps up to the plate against one of the toughest fighters at any weight, Manny "Pac Man" Pacquiao (W47-L3-D2).

The bout is listed to be fought at Welterweight which will see "The Golden Boy" De La Hoya drop his normal fighting weight by seven pounds and Pacquiao go up from his natural Flyweight division of 112lb to the 147lb required to fight at Welter.

Varying factors make this fight a closer-call than first appears. Both fighters are at the top of their game with De La Hoya easily outpointing "Hand Picked" Steve Forbes in his last bout, that after losing a "Dubious" decision when clearly outpointing Floyd Mayweather. And Pacquiao who brutally stopped David Diaz back in June after getting a split verdict against rock-hard battler Juan Manuel Marquez.

Both fighters are Multi-Weight world champions with De La Hoya a 10 times champion and Pacquiao a 4 times champion, and both are still very hungry for title success.

What cannot be overstated enough though is the size difference between the two men. De La Hoya is a natural 147 lb fighter where as Pacquiao is much smaller 112 lb fighter and is a natural "Flyweight" !!

Recent De la Hoya victim Steve Forbes said “As soon as Manny stands in front of Oscar he’s in trouble. One thing Manny is going to learn is Oscar is much bigger and hits harder than anybody he ever faced before". “Manny is going to get hit harder than he’s ever been hit in his career,” Forbes said. “I’m really shocked about this fight.”

The list of fight notables who think this fight is a miss-match is endless. Many fear for Pacquiao's health. Most know it is only a matter of time before the bigger guy nails him.

Bodog in our opinion have taken a "Massive" risk in laying odds of 1.62 about a this one getting stopped before the final bell, and a early stoppage looks a sure-fire way to pay for those last minute Christmas presents.
