"Cotto Clone" Omar Henry turns down Pacquiao Invitation

[Pullcounter]

It's oficial, you just hate PRicans. We get it, now let us continue discussing boxing without all your racial comments, Pleeeeease!

I don't hate ricans.

Do you know him?

I don't know him, but that's what the article said.

[K U Y I P]

let the kid do his thang. he could have not do any good with pac's preparation anyway.

[wizzies]

all i can say is, if he want to be champ he should focus his all in boxing, otherwise stay in school. Like they say "you cant serve 2 masters at the same time"

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 guys are idiots! 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. he getting more attention for not going actually then if he would have ever really went in the 1st place!!!!!!!! goood choice Omar

henry has only five fights so far, how will he help pac?

by getting ko'd?

[Larrysbird]

It was obvious in his tweeter page and the forum he joined in that he was asking for advice if he'd help Pac or not. Eventually, his fans convince him not to and his heart gave in and thought he'd betray his boxing hero Cotto if he'd go for it. School was just a front, he didn't even mentioned it on their discussions at the forum. lol . Nevertheless wish him well in his career.

Pac fans are mad about this why... Henry is a great fighter he is also really smart and it's doing good in school. Great Decesion Omar

What make you think he is a great fighter? by not sparring Pac?

[whirlwind]

I understand these Cotto fans feeling why they happy at Henry's decision not to spar with Pac.

Are you serious or ******ed? How can school not help somebody? Boxing is not for ever you know.

Are you serious or ******ed?

His round trip plane ticket to the Phillipines would cost more than the classes he's taking. The experience in itself is worth more in the long run when you can tell friends, family, kids, grandkids that you once met and sparred with one of the best boxers ever and received advice from one of the best trainers ever..

OR

Yeah I aced that math class I was taking at HOUSTON COMMUNITY COLLEGE.

Guy shouldn't be a pro if he's in college anyway. Stick to the amateurs until you're ready to really commit.

I love how you guys **** all over a young guy who felt his studies (no matter where) were more important than meeting a superstar boxer. Perhaps he doesn't live in fantasy land (pacland) and felt it was not his time...

Everyone walks their own path, meeting Pac and Roach just wasn't for him.
