No matter what you think of either of these two men, you really can’t say that Oscar de la Hoya and Manny Pacquiao are not absolute legends. You see, before Oscar de la Hoya became someone that many now point and laugh at for his certain views on things; he was once a favorite to just about everyone in and out of the boxing ring. Now, we see Oscar speaking up about Manny Pacquiao, who, arguably is in the same position that de la Hoya has found himself in many times….Tyron Woodley ‘Backing Out’ Of Jake Paul Fight Bet.
Oscar de lay Hoya recently spoke in a FightHype video on Youtube where he spoke on the recent Yordenis Ugas and Manny Pacquiao fight. Per the FightHype video, the following was stated by Oscar de la Hoya: “I thought that Manny Pacquiao looked good, it’s just that Ugas didn’t make him look good, you know? Being 44 I think he was? Pacquiao? He actually looked good. He went twelve hard rounds with a younger guy.”
Oscar closed this off by saying: “So, you know, that’s the problem with us fighters. We go for the younger guy. It happened with me and Manny Pacquiao and he kicked my a** because he was the younger guy. It’s not that when I was at my peak and I fought Manny that he was the better guy, it’s that he was the younger guy with more energy.”

He also said about Dana White calling him a crackhead, “He’s an idiot, that’s basically it. I’ve lived a really hard difficult life outside the ring, I don’t shy away from it.”
“Coming from a guy who has never put on the gloves, or lived this lifestyle.” He added, “He’s just a fucking idiot.”
