I'm just wondering after the announcement yesterday of the confirmed fight of Manny Paquiao and the Golden boy , question pop into my mind . LIke does he really have to fight Oscar. Is it really for the fame or the money or for what? Im from the Philippines and of course i would put my bet on Manny . I guess he should really fight Oscar (my opinion) to know if he is really the greatest pound for pound fighter of all time. Of course he has a chance to lose on this one for the fact that Oscar is big and also a great fighter but he has also a chance. But whatever it is i know that he will be a billionaire here in our country after this fight win or lose. What you think?

I thought that de la hoya was going to retire? I swear i saw him on a talk show about a month ago talking about he is going to retire because he doesn't want his son to get into boxing because he knows how much of a sacrafice it can be. But anyhow, the way i see it is, if they are only going to fight to see if he is the best of all time, then that is just crap. The man has the title for a reason. But of course you have fighters out there who say they are better than the other, so they will continue to fight. It is a lose lose situation.
