Why was Yuri Forman too big when Marg is bigger

money money and oh yea money

I think that the Pacquiao team just goes by day to day....when he stepped up on the next weight level, it is a "let's test this" kind of a thing. What was thought of and said months or years ago cannot apply into the NOWNESS. Going up the weight isn't easy and so what Pacquiao has done is nothing short of awesomeness!

Actually Bob thought Yuri was going to win, when he fed him Cotto. That's true. They even spotlighted Yuri's life during the broadcast and barely mentioned anything about Cotto. At the time most people felt Yuri was a bad matchup for Cotto, even Steward, and they were positioning Yuri as some kind of breakout star in the making.

Pac is not superman and he knows that. He admitted Yuri was too big for him when asked about the possible fight between the two. Eventually, maybe when they saw how Cotto beat up Yuri Pac team thought maybe Pac has a chance fighting higher than 147. In Margarito fight, What do you think why he asked for this catchweight fight? Because Pac he knows his limitation. If Pac get beat up by Marg hopefully you haters will realize Pac was indeed a midget fighting oversize opponent or the flomos will simply say Pac is a overrated bum.

Hatton weak sloppy defense was "tailor made" for pac's straight left, along with Pac's steroids uses. And you'll be saying the same damn thing after the Margarito fight. :chairshot

Foreman uses his size he would have boxed Manny and the size would have made a difference in this fight. Margarito is not a true JrMW his size is not an issue and is a come forward brawler with no defense. and obviously a Margarito fight would sell more Best response in this thread so far.

Yuri Foreman is a Top Rank fighter. Whoops! There goes the "in house" theory. Its not just because they are Top Rank , there is a lot more to it than just that , you need to look at all the evidence in its entirety not just pick out one piece and say it cant be because of one piece that is only incidental anyway . Point is they sidestepped the genuine belt holder saying he was too big and then fight Clottey in a sham and now they fight the very same size fighter as Foreman that just happens to be in a situation where a lot of leverage can be applied to a very troubled in house fighter that had a washed up career no licence no good boxing form no nothing , and they do it at a fabricated CW breaking the official rules for gloves and weight and then have the gall to claim 8 titles and claim Floyd is outside the rules for wanting OST , who are they to talk rules , in the least fight at the division weight if you want to claim that title , this way is just bullsh!t . All because Pac wont take full random OST and keeps lying to try and cver that up .

Its simple, Bob Arum wanted to feed Yuri Foreman to Miguel Cotto.

My dude Cotto punch yuri so hard he cracked his kneecap lmao Damn miguel you beast Can't wait till miguel gets in there wid dis juiced up big head congressman again He's gonna make em look like a bobble head doll

pac is talking about penis size

both are under top rank, you ignorant twat. :lol1:

You do know that Foreman got the living sh1t beat outta him leading up the Pac vs DLH? That was just a nice way to say "Foreman sukks and is a waste of time". Not once but on two occassion, IIRC, Manny beat the living sh1t outta foreman in sparring. no offense bro but you would have to be a stan to believe that its obviouse the reason they picked Margarito is because he is the lowest risk highest reward to get a belt at 154 and Cotto being a close 2nd you have to agree that Foreman's style (with good knee) would be more difficult for Pacquiao then Margarito. I'mnot saying Manny would lose to Yuri btw

probably cause yuri couldnt make 150

In house rules seems to shrink Margos size ? or maybe they couldnt Catch Weight Yuri for a legit 154 title ? or maybe big Bob has had a talk with Margo ,,,,,, all very fishy ! Or maybe Arum didn't want Pac to hurt his baby? Or maybe you took that quote out of context?

Is reloaded an alt of yesir? both are dumb as a rock.

I thought it was confirmed that the quote about Foreman's size was taken out of context?

Its cause the fIGHT is FIXED. oscar has leverage over Margarito. oscar will grant Margarito a boxing license in CA and NV if he "throws" his fight with Pac, just like Clottey "threw" his fight with Pac too. heck, even Oscar "threw" his fight for Pac. 3 FIXED FIGHTS for Pac. Do you really beleive that?!! First, why would a big star like Oscar Dela Hoya who owns a big promotional outfit, who is a future HOF risk his life of being brain damaged with the beating he took from Manny and allow himself to be a human punching bag for 9 rounds. What benefit will he get from losing to Manny, an asian midget, a former flyweight, when in fact it was a humiliating lost for Oscar, why will he do that to his career. While a win from Manny will open more doors for Oscar, if ever, future big money fights with Hatton and maybe a rematch with Floyd. And now with Toney Margarito, a win with Manny will benefit him more, a win will erase totally the stigma of being a cheater, will once again catapult his career up and be called again a true champion and will even be beneficial in getting back his license much quicker. Now if Toney looses it might spell the end of his career and it will be harder for him to get back his license even with Oscar's help. Because if Toney looses, everybody will think that he was only able to win his big fights cheating with loaded gloves. I think Toney is more motivated to win rather than intentionaly loose the fight, because he is trying to regain a life he once had before that fiasco in the Mosley fight... You think about that boy...

In house rules seems to shrink Margos size ? or maybe they couldnt Catch Weight Yuri for a legit 154 title ? or maybe big Bob has had a talk with Margo ,,,,,, all very fishy ! its because Yuri is a tall fighter that would use his height + reach advantage. put it this way: Yuri is tall + a runner. bad style matchup for Pac Margarito on the other hand; comes forward (practically negating his advantages), looked very unimpressive in his last two fights, and is the bigger pay day between him and Yuri... if i were Pac i would do the same. (not saying its the right thing to do, but it makes sense) :fing02:
