"Cotto Clone" Omar Henry turns down Pacquiao Invitation

[Pullcounter]

For the last week or so, the boxing internet forums have been abuzz about a relatively unknown prospect under the Top Rank banner named Omar Henry. [details]

you ricans should be proud this half-rican put you above his own career.

Guy turned down a once in a lifetime trip to the Phillipines to spar with the #1 P4P boxer Manny ****ing Pacquiao for $1,300 worth of classes at some rinky dink community college and he's got your respect? lmao

School can't help this kid.

You can never tell if this is lifetime opportunity because none of us have a magic cristal ball to foresee the future. He did turn down a big and huge opportunity... true.

Now learn something, in boxing you can be someone one day and be a nobody the next. In this sport there are a lot bias and inconsistency on how a fighter is, now days a fighter if wins he is in his prime and in he looses he is damaged he is shot. So you cant blame an upcoming kid to realise that and have a plan b for whatever may happen in the future whether it be nut cutting it with the pros or a accident of some sort.

So in short don't be ignorant, whether it is an IVY leage college, community college or tech institute, your knowlege is a thing that no-one can take away from you. I respect people who think ahead of the curb whether it is to make the next Microsoft or just to make a positive change in a community.

What opportunity? To be a punching bag for Pacquio? Wow, what an honor. He is setting his goals to become a champ, with something to fall back on, not just a palooka. His goals are much higher. Hope he becomes big time one day so you feel even more ****** than you already do. You must need a gallon on listerine every morning get the taste of Manny's **** out of your mouth. Dumbass

its called exposure moron. There is serious retirment money in this game if you manage it correctly. I wouldnt expect a idiot like your self to understand this. Its called not working another day in your life. Oh WTF am i wasting my time with a idiot... Oh by the way you may need to stop the **** in the moth talk...It lets people know how **** you really are to be even thinking about ****s in a mouth. ewwww...you nasty.

c'mon man... omar turned down the fight because of Pricans... not because of community college... that's just an excuse

[TOBYLEE1]

Another Juan Diaz...Books before Boxing. This guy will see the canvas. He had an opportunity . His plans are to retire from boxing and go to work? lol He is not setting his goals high in the sport.

He is loyal to his goals and you **** on him cause he don't want to go into a sparring session with Pac. He is gonna be a sparring partner not a gym partner

[TRAVI$]

Pinoys, what happened to Pac schooling Henry?

It may be... but to tell you the truth...... I have never even heard of the guy. Personally even if he were to be a full Rican, well known, and helped many in this occasion and could care less, so it just does not make sence to me I repeat. So I just buy the news whether it be true ( and hope) or not.

ouchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Two things

1. Not surprising that, on a forum full of idiots, so many of you are questioning why someone would want to get a good education.

2. He loses nothing/very little by not taking this 'opportunity'. There seems to be some kind of delusion that him sparring with Pac will get him massive exposure and career chances, but I'd be willing to bet that 99% of the people on here couldn't name the sparring partners that Pac used for Hatton, or the sparring partners that any top boxers used for fights more than a month or two ago.

stay in school kid, in boxing nothing's 4 sure. plus all it is is a dam sparring, its not like hes getting a title shot or something. hes just 5 fights in his baby career so how much is he gonna progress in hes career for just sparring, even if its with the best fighter in the world. i give him this, hes smarter than alot of selfish idiots that just wanna see him fight but dont give a sh.t about his future. good job kid, one day u might even get ur shot but if not you'll still be ok with ur education. college or community college, its still an education & more than alot of u will ever have....:=)
