Pacquiao-Larios in November

[mr. bojangles]

Larios does not stand a chance against Pacquiao.

I agree bro. Larios' aggressive come forward fighting style fits perfectly to Pac's like a glove. Chololo just loves to slug it out and throw volumes of punches, but I don't see enough power that will really gain Pac's respect. Pac's superior hand speed and firepower will be just too much for him to handle. I would've preferred Larios rather than St. Claire. It would sell, but definitely not in the MAB-EM 3 undercard as originally proposed. Being double-crossed is enough insult already. OK St. Claire let's get it on.

Manny fighting St, claire at 126 or 130 will be beneficial for him, the question is . . . is Manny prepared to fight at 130 at this time when his preparation has been delayed and affected by turns of events? Ony Roach can give us an objective answer to that question.

As to Manny's next opponent it's most likely that it's going to be JMM and the winner of that Morales/MAB fight coming in as a second priority. The fight with Harrison and Chi will most likely be shelve for the moment.

But for me personally I'd like to make it clear that I want Manny to fight Chi or Harrison first and keep JMM waiting for his turn. The way I'm looking at it, JMM after his uneventful and non-exciting fight with Salido would like to get back into the big picture by fighting Many again . . . and I say no way . . . let JMM beg for his chance . . . it's payback time. Manny doesn't need JMM's belt if he is going to be succesful against Chi or Harrison. One legitimate belt will be enough to suplement his pound for pound Featherweight KING title.

Battles are being lost on the table for TeamPac. Murad blew it numerous times already and Arum got the better of him. He's on the verge of signing up Barrera, Arum dangled Morales (while enticing MAB), well Murad took the bait and dropped MAB...and Arum got the EM-MAB 3 goin. Excellent move for his boy Morales! Nazario was approached by Harrison's people, got an offer but was more worried that Murad will be left out of the picture than Pacquiao not having a decent opponent! Disregarded this option and now we have St Clarice in the picture. These people behind Pacquiao is ruining him. Incompetent and greedy SOB's!!!

Yeah, a fight with the Real McCoy would've been the best option considering the circumstances. Pac-Chi won't sell, definitely...add to the fact that Chi is demanding a ridiculous purse not less than US$1M! or "...not a cent less than Pacquiao!"

OK St. Clarice let's get it goin! hahahahaha LOL

He badly needs the rounds indeed to sharpen up again. I can agree with you there mooks. If Pac is preparing for JMMarquez next, I think he should fight St. Claire on his own terms at 126. Who do you think will be lined up for Pac next year? JMM & MAB are strong possiblities given the excitement and anticipation a rematch brings, but do you honestly think Morales will fight Pac? How 'bout Harrison? Your thoughts.

To be honest with you, I don't think that we would even fight JMM in Feb. Say he gets past this fight with the Aussie, he'd probably go for a fight against the winner of MAB/Morales whoever wins. I say it'll be Morales. He said he wanted to fight Pac b4 moving up and I think he would. (Although...people DO tend to change their minds)
Even if MAB wins, then he'd be itching to fight Pac with his new found confidence and will get a chance to avenge his loss. If he gets passed Morales then who knows, why not campaign in the superfeatherweight if you dethrone the king (keeping in mind that Marquez will be running faster than ever before )? If he doesn't get past Morales, he'll probably have to fight MAB again before getting a second crack at JMM. I think Harrison's going to fight Marquez before Pac gets a chance to put him back on his ass.

If indeed Morales is keen on his words that he would fight Manny before he goes up in weight then I don't see any reason why Team PAC would refuse that, then that should be Manny's first fight for '05 if indeed he wins against MAB. Choosing between JMM and Morales is not hard, I'd go for the later because he is a p4p fighter. As I said let JMM beg fot his rematch. . . let him fight Salido again, Juarez or who ever . . . maybe by then JMM already realizes how ****** he and his team has been in comparing his ABC titles from Pacquiao's P4P title.

Pacquaio-Larios. I hope it will be fought at 122, then it would be a bit more interesting. At 122 I say Pacquaio KO8.

At 126 Pacquaio KO3.

all is uncertain on who is pacman fighting next, but st. clair i think won't do any good for pacquiao except (just) to avoid getting rusty, that's just it! this unknown boxer is not of pacquiao's caliber. considering the status that pacquiao is now enjoying, this is not a good fight for him! larios is much a better fight! if pacquiao is fighting st. clair, arum and the rest who belittles pacquiao will have the last laugh because they have succeeded in dumping pacquiao!

[PRboxingfan]

I guess it looks like this fight won't happen, either.

Yeah, it's true that he really just needs one belt. If Pac beats Morales and becomes WBC superfeatherweight champ, Marquez' belts are useless unless he wants to be title holder in 4 different divisions. That would be something. But if Pac beats Morales, superstardom awaits him and Marquez, like you said, can only beg for that rematch that he shouldn't have avoided in the first place.

Bro that fight most likely won't happen soon . . . it has been confirmed that Manny will fighting in MANILA with St Claire as his opponent . . . JMM and Morales have openly expressed their intentions to mixed it up with Manny next year so Larrios moves out of the picture temporarily.

And If that fight should happen it's going to be at 126 believe me. Pacquiao doesn't have anything to gain in punishing his body trying to make the 122 weight limit. There's just not enough motivation,incentive or reason for him to do that, remember that he is the No 1 featherweight in the p4p list.
