    Questions about Pac's (potential) decision making

    Why is Pac willing to fight Foreman at 154, when he wouldnt fight De La Hoya at 154?
    Why is Pac willing to fight Foreman at 154, when he wouldnt even fight Cotto at 147?

    It seems to me as though IF Pac fights Foreman at 154, it is ultimate cherry picking to obtain an 8th belt. It is incongrous to everything Pac and Pac fans say he stands for...fighting the best and taking all challengers...

    Pac fans cannot be happy about this.

      So you want Pacquiao to essentially jump from 130 to 154 to fight Oscar delahoya with only 1 test run at 135 against someone *****s refferred to as a bum in between???

      Also it was Delahoya who asked for the fight, not Pacquiao. So according to ***** logic....Pacquiao gets to call the shots.

              can you provide any credible source stating the possible fight would be at one 148?

              furthermore, why was it ok for Floyd to fight JMM at 147?

                Well for one Oscar didn't have a belt at 154.

                Two, Pacquiao at the time was a 135 pounder and had only ONCE fought at 135 pounds.

                Now he's a legit 147 pound fighter.

                Regardless, he will not fight foreman, this is part of the negotiating process.

                  True but fighting Foreman is true cherrypicking. I don't how the hell Roach and Pac are gonna fight at 154. Pac had trouble keeping his weight UP for the Cotto fight so how the hell are they gonna make 154? Doing a catchweight? I'm tired of this catchweight BS. I know Pac did one catchweight fight but doing another? C'mon man!

                    FLOYD fought at catchweight before PACMAN so STFU.


                    FOREMAN is no joke.

                    FLOYD is the one who is duckin PACQUIAO.

                    PACQUIAO called him out and offered him MARCH fight and FLOYD will fight

                    MATHEW HATTON.



                    And TS is ******.He is a fan of ultimate cherry picker FLOYD JR. who is lookin for a fight against MATHEW HATTON who is typical FLOYD JR. opponent.
