He would be more highly regarded if his ko % was higher......even though that is not the only way to win a fight. Pac can be out boxed and Yuri is very good at what he does.
I hate saying this because i'm a cotto fan but Yuri would take pac 12 rds and lose or win a decision. I don't see Yuri getting knocked out but going distance. Pac? Leave it alone, fight judah, clottey, malinaggi, etc. It's a no win situation.
Wasn't cotto the one who asked for the 145 catchweight and agreed to it?
I don't think so, i think roach/pac team asked for 143 and cotto wanted 147 and finally both agreed to 145. Remember Pac did not want fight at 147.
He wont, but it would be the funniest thing that ever happened in history. My funny bone would be forever broken.
Yep, but media would turn around and kill pac for losing and thinking that he can just keep going up, up, up. Remember after cotto fight he said he WON'T go up past 147 and now Roach/Arum are talking about a Yuri tuneup fight. Tune up? He suckered cotto/oscar to go down and here he is going up to 154...funny as hell.
I'd say sad and it's not completely out of the question. Yuri's clearly bigger, young and technically sound. Any other fighter in the universe who was at super featherweight less than 2 years ago would not be expected to dominate a Junior Middleweight belt holder.
Agree. Yuri beat Santos and santos is no slouch.
If somehow Pacquiao does fight Yuri Foreman and Yuri beats pac. How would that make pac look? Yuri?
