Oscar De La Hoya, Who’s fought both Mayweather and Pacquiao- and lost to them both- can speak from experience when it comes to the superstar fight. But De La Hoya dosen’t exactly have a straight answer when it comes to picking a winner of the fight.
When asked about who he thought would win the fight, De La Hoya said his head tells him Mayweather will win but his heart is with Pacquiao
“I believe this fight is going to be more exciting today than five years ago because both guys are not as agile on their feet,” De La Hoya said. “Mayweather has lost a step or two with his legs and so has Pacquiao. Pacquiao will have a chance to connect a few punches on Mayweather and vice versa.”
Also De La Hoya spoke on Mayweather and hopes he does not play ‘Just to win’
“It’s sometimes unfortunate that his mentality is I’m undefeated and I’m going to think I’m the greatest because nobody has beaten me,” De La Hoya said. “It just doesn’t work that way. You have to dare to be great and when you are to be great you’re going to face the toughest challenges. People are going to see that and people are going to respect that.”
