Fenech: Pacquiao should not move to lightweights
http://www.sportsnut.com.au/entry.php?intid=23487
Boxing legend Jeff Fenech says Manny Pacquiao is making a big mistake if he plans to invade the lightweight division for battles with Juan Diaz, Joel Casamayor and Michael Katsidis.
The three-time world champ, one of world boxing's biggest stars in the late 80s, has already warned Pacquiao that Katsidis will stop him at lightweight.
Now he he says Casamyor and Diaz will also prove too big and strong.
``Manny’s fight with Marco Antonio Barrera was really boring and he looked like a fighter past his best,'' Fenech said.
``He had none of the exciting aura about him that made him such a great fighter.
``If he steps up to fight Katsidis, Manny will get stopped. No doubt.
``Katsidis has the fire of a young Manny and he’s bigger and stronger. Diaz and Casamayor are physically bigger too and Diaz is a little bull, stronger than Manny and constantly aggressive’’
Katsidis (23-0, 20 KOs) has been calling out Pacquiao and Fenech, the former world bantam, super-bantam and featherweight champ, says the Filipino is ready to be taken.
``I have no doubt Katsidis would stop Pacquiao,’’ Fenech said. ``He looks like a fighter on the downhill run.
``Once you get to the lightweights you are competing with guys much physically bigger than a fighter who started out as the flyweight champ. No matter how good yhou are you are giving the opposition too much of a headstart.''


Is this guy serious???

I actually agree that Pac is on the downhill slide of his career. Im not saying that all those guys would beat him, but he isnt as good as he once was.

[ELPacman]

I agree to an extent with what he's saying. I'm not sure if he's on his downhill just yet. Barrera can make anyone look bad if he's playing a defensive game for all 12 rds. Manny needs the other fighter to trade with him to make it really exciting. This Barrera did not. On the other hand, I also believe going to 135lbs would be hell for Manny against these bigger opponents. I know a lot would disagree and just want to see Manny go up there to get his ass beat and feel happy about it after his accomplishments at 130lbs, but the fact is, him going up, would be simliar to Morales going up. It just wouldn't be him, and losing up in that weight would be like, I told you so.

pac peaked at the third morales fight but its up to him how good he is in a fight. He has to get rid of distractions and that wont happen but he's still got plenty left to wipe out another division, if pac is up to it.

Pac is in his prime now, but he WILL slip because of all those distractions. He's only human after all.

In the ring he's just a boxer. Outside he is SuperPac, champion of the poor and oppressed.

oh man you just dont know what he does back home in the philippines. he's got a lot on his plate in between fights. movies, commercials, politics, tv roles, appearances, basketball and billiard tourneys he sponsors, etc. and those are just the major events, a lot more minor events happening in between, mostly programs for the poor and needy, and then he's got his own boxing promotions.

no he's not a hero, but it's way way more than just floyd in dancing w/ the stars
