Here's a curious observation of PDI columnist Recah Trinidad of the Inquirer newspaper.
Experts will predictably be divided on how the fight would shape up and finish.
The biggest letdown, of course, is the risk of the bout not being scored based on superb athleticism.
There's the great danger of the fight being decided mainly on physical disparity.
It could be that our man is too small or the enemy is too old and tired.
Could it be that Pacquiao would prevail mainly because De la Hoya is already slower, softer than the famed Golden Boy the world has learned to adore?
Or it could also turn out that De la Hoya, despite the visible slide in his abilities in recent fights, has one precious, golden final blast that could erase and offset Pacquiao's perceived advantage.
