View Full Version : What if Pacquiao loses to this St. Clair?
chito 10-13-2004, 06:28 AM I have never seen any fights of this boxer before and i have no idea what he can do! Is he a dirty fighter like sanchez whom pacman settled for just a draw? I know he's as tall as sanchez and maybe as quick as he but i am wondering what do this fighter offers really? I believe this fight will benefit him rather than pacquiao because if he wins, this will be a step in a ladder for him because big fights will come to him after! There are talks that after the fight, pacquiao will face juan manuel marquez but if pacquiao loses to st clair, then st clair becomes the one facing marquez!
anthetamine 10-13-2004, 06:32 AM st clair is a decent boxer and does pose a serious threat to pac man, i cant see pac loosing however, he is to good and to fast/powerfull for st clair
if he looses to him though it could damage pacs chances... only in the short term
obviously thats the most important thing though, cause we all want to see morales pac man before morales steps up
PAC MAN KO RND 5
grayfist 10-13-2004, 07:43 AM I hear a chorus of "NO WAY!!!" and "GOD FORBID!!!" Anyhow, in the remote...very remote chance that St. Clair slips past Pac, it will indeed be a sad X'mas for the people out there in RP. :(
I just checked the currency exchanges and it says the Peso slipped again in trading earlier today, RP time! :( RP can use some good news...! It hasn't been given much to rejoice about in recent years! The folks there deserve much, much better than what they've been getting!!! Such wonderful, charming people!!! Such a wonderful place!!! :)

Shane Mosley, Oscar De La Hoya, Ricardo Mayorga, and Marco Antonio Barrera are recent examples that big names can survive losses and continue on to megafights. People will want to see Pac/Marquez 2 and Pac/Morales whether he beats St. Clair or not.

Thanks. I stole it from a poster on another forum called "Get Your Bootleg On". I'm unoriginal.

Yes, i agree with you more, PHILIPPINES need something to cheer about this Christmas! After all that's been happening,is there a more logical reason to celebrate, with all these rises in commodities because of the peso devaluation -- crude oil, fare hike, everything is rising! My hope is just like yours, Pacquiao should win, and not just win, he should make a statement, he should knock this fighter out and prove to the world that he can knock out everybody! Even if his record shows he got a very good chin, with pacman's power, that is not impossible! Peace to you!

Still, the boxing world cannot ignore a Pacman loss.
Pacman SHOULD win this one eventhough its supposed to be a tune-up. IMO Pacman will destroy St. Claire in Rd 1 .
psychopath 10-14-2004, 10:43 PM Hold on to your horses friends . . . as of the latest it looks like this fight might not even happen. :D
ELPacman 10-14-2004, 11:05 PM It's as simple as, Manny has nothing to gain and everything to lose, St. Clair has everything to gain and nothing to lose. Get it?
Nautilus 10-14-2004, 11:25 PM for every pacman there is a bowe
pacman's defense is poor
if JMM had a strong punch, pacman would have been destroyed

fighter is invincible and every fighter has an achilles heel. however, i don't see jmm having manny's number. if you only saw manny in the jmm-manny fight, you could be right saying manny has poor defense. but if you had seen most of his prior fights, you wouldn't have said this. manny has a sound defense. just look at his fight with mab - most punches mab threw were on manny's gloves. however his "come forward" style sometimes leaves himself open for a counter-puncher like jmm. but it had more to do with pac wanting to finish him off than manny having poor defense. next time imo, pac wouldn't make the same mistake again.

thanks, man!
JOM'S 10-15-2004, 07:52 AM I Have no doubt that Manny will beat St. Clair either by points or KO, but the problem now the fight per se may not happen, Manila is having difficulty with too much $$$ involved....
Silencer 11-10-2004, 10:52 PM If Gairy beats Pac, then, it's good for him. But he should face the reality that it's not gonna happen. I don't blame him for dreaming but he should wake up now...
St Clair has done a lot of sparring with Tszyu & reckon's it helped him a great deal.
THRILLAinmanila 11-11-2004, 06:32 PM Fyi guys the Pacman-St. Claire tiff is not going to happen.
Manny is facing Fahsang 3K Battery in Dec. 11 instead. So all Gary can
do now is just dream on .....:)
