Why won't Pacquiao move to Welterweight?

[tatangb45]

Do you know the difference between muscle density and muscle mass and how it's applicable to this debate? If you can't explain the difference and apply the concept OBJECTIVELY to this discussion regarding Manny, then the only hidden agenda in question lies within your post.

Do you really know what you're talking about?
Can you explain, using your muscle mass and muscle density 'expertise', how Pac can have an advantage over guys who were similarly cutting weight to make 130lbs at weigh-in and then re-hydrate to weights that's close to Pac's weight at fight night?

The Pacquiao Blueprint:

1)Pad your record with up to 40 fights before you step it up to world class competition

2)Get some vacant titles to make it seem like you've been dominant for a substantial amount of time.

3)Beat a few guys who are overrated and fold every time they step up to world class competition(Barrera & Morales).

4)Have your promoter create a buzz about fights with guys who are big enough to beat you on size alone, but then make sure that you stipulate that they must fight at a weight that YOU are comfortable with, not a weight that they are comfortable at.

5)Schedule those catchweight fights ONLY once those guys have lost. NEVER fight a winner. They have too much confidence and have much less self doubt.

6)Never take PED tests. The last time Pacquiao was forced to give blood unscheduled was the first Morales fight, and we saw Pacquiao get completely outclassed. In the rematch where Pacquiao didn't have to give blood unscheduled, we saw Pacquiao dominate Morales despite having made no technical adjustments or changes.

7)Let you promoter run your life and career. that way, when critics ask you why you've made such shady decision, you can always fall back on blaming your promoter.

"Why have your last three opponents been Top rank fighters, Manny?"

"Umm .. uhhh .. ask my premoda. I don't make fights. I juss do de fighting"

"Why won't you take random PED tests with the same organization that does the testing for the Olympics, Manny?"

"Uhhh .. umm .. I believe dat da addale*** commission is da one who should ehhh .. make da rules."

"You do realize that this type of testing has been done several times before in boxing, Manny?

"Uhhh .. ehhh .. no .. ehh .. my promoter handles ebeeting and we only listen to da addale*** commission.

"Where is all your money, Manny"

"Uhhh .. I have da ehhh .. Visionqwest .. ehh .. investigating for me.. uhh. and dey .. ehh .. handle dat for me."

8)It doesn't matter who Manny beats or even if they are cleared to compete. Its just matters that he wins. Thee most disgraceful moment in Pacquiao's career(outside of him flat out refusing PED tests that would expose him) was when he decided to let Arum set up a fight with a man who was banned for cheating. The fight actually took place during the period in which Margarito was banned! How this was able to fly is beyond reason.

9)When you cannot win, let your promoter gift you the decision. Pacquiao, in most honest minds who actually watched both fights, lost to Marquez. Marquez showed what a solid and versatile counter-puncher can do against a guy who only has punching power and better than average stamina. This is why Pacquiao and Roach waited three years to give him a rematch that he has been screaming for. You can't say that he wants the payday because Pacquiao wasn't generating that kind of money back when Marquez was outboxing his asss.

10) When you have fought every 5th ranked loser who still retains a star-powered name, look downward.

Pacquiao has consistently fought every star-powered boxer to lose at WW. He hasn't fought a winner since 2008, unless you count the Cotto fiasco. So, knowing that Pacquiao cannot win against Floyd, Pacquiao has begun to look for competition below WW. He is fighting Marquez 3 years too late. And as if that wasn't bad enough, Pacquiao is making Marquez come up to 147lbs ... a weight that Roach stated that Pacquiao COULD NOT MAKE when Pacquiao was calling for catchweights at 147.

We hear that Pacquiao may be looking at Bradley next. The shameful part is the peasants are still willing to buy that fight. Manny could fight Larry Merchant next and the peasants would flock to buy it.

And they count themselves as real fans?

When you support that 10 step bull**** plan you are part of what's wrong with boxing, not what's right with it. Of course the stadiums, promoters and networks will always be glad to take your money, but the sport itself suffers because ignorant losers are willing to throw money at even the most obvious sideshow trash.

And they wonder why we call them peasants!

Lol I have to admit when I read The manny responses I heard his voice. lol

You can feel ANY WAY you like.


I've watched as peasants here have used racial slurs, innuendos, and pictures while the majority of you so-called "serious posters" sit by and do nothing.

I've had some great discussions with people that some of you label as "terrible posters", and some awful discussions with people that some of you label as "excellent posters".

There are no rewards for posting here. If you love boxing the reward is having a place to discuss what you love. Lead Uppercut made it very clear to me early on that cohesive and rational debate would only go so far on this site. I didn't want to believe him at first, but now I'm inclined to agree.

I come here to write. This isn't the only place I write, but I get lost of practice here expressing different opinions in different styles. 99% of the posters I've come across here are simply emoticon morons .. who use sarcasm in place of solid arguments that would make this site a more interesting place to discuss boxing ... if that's actually what some of you come here to do. I don't see it.

Talk about having no life?

Go to my profile, look at ALL posts by Brother Jay. 98% of all my posts are informative and well written.

Then go to you own profile and look at ALL posts written. 99% of all your posts are bull**** insults, emoticons and one line comments that usually have nothing to do with boxing .. on a boxing website. And pretty much all of you have 10 time the amount of posts that I have written and they fit that criteria!

Hate it or love peasants ... but like I've said so many times before, the historians won't be as kind to Pacquiao as today's writers because they won't be as swayed by hype. When you factor in that The Ring Magazine is owned by DLH, and GBP co-promotes Pacquiao, it isn't hard to tell what's going on.

I go by the record of the fighter and the rank of the men he fought. That's how any student of the game measures REAL RANK and the value of a win.

You people want to go by other people's opinions and feel validated because they own their own magazine, then do it until you love it! But you're sheep being led by the greedy.

I don't hate. I appreciate. Real champions that is .. because real champions do real things.

No amount of self-aggrandizement can hide the obvious, you and leaduppercut are one and the same person that pollutes this forum with LIES and GARBAGE.

Hey MORON, here's something for you.

1) Your revered Roy Jones won 3 vacant titles and 2 more that went with another title.
2) Julio Cesar Chavez won 1 vacant title and drew in another.
3) Floyd won 2 titles from guys (Gatti & Judah) who won it through vacant titles.
4) Ali won 1 vacant tiltle.
5) Hearns won 5 vacant titles.
6) DLH won 2 vacant titles.

These are just a few examples which show that winning a vacant title is not an oddity.
Your attempt to use this to discredit one fighter shows how twisted your mind works.

And insisting that Manny won 5 vacant title out of 8 is a BLATANT LIE!

***** wont reply.. cause *****s dont know shiet about boxing

[dosepulgada]

When Manny was fighting at super feather weight, people are saying that its impossible for Pac to jump at WW because guys at this division will easily whoop his as s. But now that Manny has took it to a whole new level ONE YEAR LATER AFTER THIS THREAD, Floydiots are discrediting him because they thought, those WW are giving him easy fights. WTF! LOL!

A fight with Cotto alone >>>>>> Zab Judah + Baldo combined.
