Why was Yuri Foreman "too tall" for Pacquiao?

[$tate of Mind]

Besides, Foreman was/is a nobody, whos going to buy the PPV? Not his Orthodox Jews, they dont even have electricity on saturdays.

and Clottey was a star recognized by everybody Why not just say Foreman isn't a big enough draw?

No, Foreman wasn't too tall for Manny. It's just a stupid excuse.

Most likely, but why make an excuse not to fight the ATG Yuri Foreman?

But Antonio Margarito wasn't considered too tall? I don't know that is a good question but something is NOT ADDING UP, Margarito, Martinez, Foreman are all pretty much the SAME SIZE

but out those 3, only Margarito is FLAT FLOOTED

tailor made just for manny

teddy atlas commented clottey was more dangerous than foreman. judging from these guys' recent fights (pac and foreman), we can conclude that pac would have stopped foreman.

A fight between these two when it was mentioned would have looked like the Pac vs Mosley fight. However, Foreman would have countered Pac because he can at least pull the trigger.

Which is why Foreman got the living **** beat outta him both times he sparred against Manny. I know sparring isn't the same as fighting in a real match, but even then why would you avoid a guy you dominated in sparring?

So that means Foreman wasn't really too tall right?

Not sure if you knew this, but that was just Manny being nice.

But just disregarding the fact that Manny destroyed him in sparring, I think another reason is Manny doesn't like to chase fighters around the ring that refuse to engage. Manny is a fighter and prefers guys who want to go toe to toe with him, so if anything he probably didn't want to face a guy who would stink out the place by running.
