History Can't Be Changed: Pacquiao Ducked Guzman

[Ray*]

Interesting, I use this logic to explain to Left hook tua that Mayweather didnt duck Casamayor, Tua was telling me Mayweather could have fought Casamayor and my reply was you cant fight everybody and since he fought the top guys like Corrales and castillo at 135 then people like Casamayor or freitas should be brought up.

I said i could do the samething with Pac and say he should have fought Guzman but he kept telling me its not the samething..its not the samething. but i know its the samething but he just wouldnt admit to it.

I just got done watching the Campell-Funeka fight today, and one thing I've got to say is Guzman couldn't pursue the roll of a mobile boxer because of a taller opponent, and that threw him off his game. Soto I think had a reach a little longer than his, but not like Funeka's reach advantage. I could still see the Guzman that beat Soto giving Pacquiao fits.

One thing with Guzman though is he throws a wide right hand almost every time. A quick boxer like Pacquiao would get between that and clock him. I lost respect for Guzman after he fought Soto in the immediate aftermath and right now, I feel kind of guilty and bad for it. Because fighting the way he did that night is what worked for him. Against Funeka he had to go toe to toe because he couldn't use his legs to box to a points win. I respect the way he fought. That respect won't stick very long though if I don't hear something about him wanting to give Funeka a rematch even though I think Funeka deserves to move on to bigger and better things.

Pacquiao fought ATG Fighters like Morales Barrera and Marquez at 130 and then you're saying Pac ducked Guzman?

Guzman is a Bum !

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

Don't push my buttons. There's a lot of ammo yet to be posted.

After the JMM fight of pacquiao.. it seems pacquiao cant make 130 anymore..

130 is hard for pacquiao in that day. pacquiao gone bigger. maybe pacquiao

will fight Guzman if Guzman is rated like Barrera and Morales. Guzman just got

beat Soto. where soto < barrera or morales. he got only Soto. LOL

Alex Arthur vs Guzman have been a good fight in SFW for him but he intended

not to do the fight when it is set and a campbell fight in LW for not taking the

weight. Look at his entire resume there is no one there will make or hype for a

fight with pacquiao.
