History Can't Be Changed: Pacquiao Ducked Guzman

[Heru]

On November 20, 2007, José Nuñez, manager of WBO super featherweight champion Joan Guzmán, accused Pacquiao's handler Bob Arum of evading a match between the two boxers to protect Pacquiao. Guzmán went as far as to directly call out Pacquiao at the postfight press conference of the Pacquiao–Barrera rematch in front of a stunned crowd at the Mandalay Bay Events Center's media room in Las Vegas.

The victory keeps Guzman's unbeaten slate to 28-0, 17 KOs, and lines him up for a possible duel with superstar Manny Pacquiao sometime in the near future.

Guzman, who is trained by Floyd Mayweather Sr, has been calling out Pacquiao lately, even personally attending the post-fight press conference of the Pacquiao-Barrera rematch to ask Pacquiao for a fight in front of a stunned crowd at the Mandalay Bay Events Center's media room.

Soto's loss is expected to be a major blow to promoter Bob Arum, according to sources.

"This will surely be a big letdown to Bob. Soto is one of his prime candidates for a Pacquiao opponent. Now Guzman has just solidified his entry into the Pacquiao sweepstakes. Global Nation Inquirer

he was doin guzman a favor

Realistically, Manny went o for bigger fights. Floyd has done it. Oscar has done it. Everyone has done it. It's not ducking if you face other types of honest challenges.

Keep thinking that, it might be true one day.

True, David Diaz was a huge fight.

Guzman can still make a fight with Pacquaio...be his sparring partner for the Gayweather fight LOL.

[Titing Kabayo]

Not because you ignored that calling out means you are ducking someone... There's a lot of reasons...

If Kotelnik calls out Floyd and he ignored him, does it mean Floyd ducking Kotelnik? Think twice.. Why would a superstar fight to an unknown fighter for nothing?

[Bogler]

history would forget about joan guzman and would laugh at this ******ed story.

[Titing Kabayo]

True, David Diaz was a huge fight.

Diaz was a champion, have bigger balls than Guzrun, and under the same promoter as Pacquiao...

You think Guzman beats Packy?
