Straight from the mouth of the Golden Boy himself, Oscar Dela Hoya made this remark in response to a question thrown at him by Michael Marley of Examiner.com.
"Absolutely, it is a mismatch," Oscar said. "It's nothing personal between me and Margarito. We all know how that fight will go, we all know Manny's hands and feet are way too fast for Margarito."
Not that Dela Hoya belittles the capability of Antonio Margarito, but he believes his ward, Shane Mosley is more than capable to give Manny Pacquiao a lot of troubles than Margarito would.
Bob Arum had earlier mentioned he's lining up two fights for Pacquiao next year, and one of them will be either Floyd Mayweather or Shane Mosley.
As Pacquiao gears up his training for the remaining weeks before fight night, verbal tussles between Pacman's and Margarito's camps have been thrown.
Margarito's trainer Robert Garcia said,
"If the typhoon didn't get Manny, the 'Tornado' will."
In response, Roach shot back saying,
"Manny is going to send the 'Tornado' into a tropical depression."
It can be recalled that Juan, a tropical depression that stomed the Philippines a week ago nearly stranded Pacman’s team in Baguio City. Now that Team Pacman has left Juan behind them and are back to the US preparing toward the fight of the year, the air of anticipations and excitements are fast building up.
And Oscar Dela Hoya, come fight time, will be watching from the side.
