Its not that i dont like pacquiao but

[DarchinyFAN]

I just wish hatton beats him and sends him back to the lower divisions................


maybe im still mad over my boy losing

I think he will eventually move down anyway..... There are no money fights at 140 (after Hatton), and no more big money marks at 147.

shhh.. to the pinoys pacquiao faced a prime dlh at his best.

Not a prime DLH but not a shot one nor weight drained one neither...

"This was a fight that should have been won. Oscar was able achieved great physical condition during his training. I am a witness that he did not have problems with his weight and he was not dried out from the vapors [of a sauna]. During that time he had a nutritionist by his side who took charge of his weight and diet. But at the time of the fight he couldn't do things well. He couldn't deal with the versatility of Pacquiao" - Nacho Beristain

The way DLH was beat though..If you are really unbiased and a fan of boxing and not just Mexicans, which we know your not, will have anybody thinking weather Pacquiao could have beaten a prime DLH... You've already said that a 50 year old DLH beats a prime Pacman. Maybe your right, not apparently, but by anyones standards that would be the perfect description of a nuthugger.

We will see... Maybe im biased because im prolly the only Pinoy JMM fan on boxingscene.. I think JMM is another freak that will be effective where ever he sets his mind on it... like Pacquiao the real JMM does not bring his A game all the time but so does Pacquiao... JMM has his jacas, jandengs, etc. Pac has his Larios', Solis', etc... I think both bring out their best when they know its what is required to win... If your going to give Pacquiao credit, you gotta see JMM as an awesome fighter as for all the destruction Pacquiao has caused, JMM is the one fighter that hung with him in 2 fights 4 years apart... JMM has evolved as well, can his evolution continue to keep up with pacquiao's evolution is the question.

dude dont get me wrong, not too fond of his demeanor but i love jmm as a boxer and regard him better then pbf


pacquiao wouldn't be as good as he is now if he hadn't fought jmm. rivalry/contention is what made the pacman that we know now. all thanks to the like's of this great fighter

that the thing about boxing, styles make fights

pacquiao style is unique, something conventional fighters like mab, jmm, erik, oscar have a difficulty with. all i'm saying is that margarito maybe in the same boat

SPEED and AGILITY...yeah, maybe. I thought about this too and think it is possible, but I don't know. Margarito keeps coming and he would seriously laugh at Pac's punches. Pac would have to bounce to the sides and not just back and forth. His small reach could pose a big problem because of the way he punches. If JMM can catch him; Margarito could as well. Margarito keeps throwing and gets stronger as the fight goes on.

One thing is for sure though, it would be exciting since Pac is only in exciting fights.

I doubt Freddie would risk it unless Margarito and Cotto beat the **** out of each other so bad next time out that there is nothing left to worry about.


Plus, I'm not sure how many people would want to see Manny take that chance of being brutally beaten like Cotto was...and it would be worse if Margarito starts to catch Manny. I don't want to see it. Manny's too cool and humble to go out like that and he shouldn't be fighting at 147 anyway.

JMM better than Floyd?

I don't see it...not even the version that has paraded around like the one time Pretty Boy Floyd.

He fought TITO in his prime


Manny last fought at 135 division prior to Oscar and showed up for his 135 fight at 147 by fight time; same weight Oscar showed up at for his fight with Manny by fight-time.
