    even if he started camp one month from now it would give him a full 8 weeks of camp

    most camps are 8 weeks Freddie has been on record as saying camps are 8 weeks for Manny so he could take this whole month off and still have a full camp

    the too soon thing is false and even Freddie knows this because of his own words

      Also consider that although election campaigning won't start till late March, that there is a LOT OF PREPARATION work for this sort of thing. And you really want to be focused PURELY on the fight, which I think will be very difficult given all the election preparation work.

      Who want's to go into the toughest/biggest fight of their career, in a relatively new higher weight division to boot, without their mind 100 percent focused!

          It's a close call but it should be enough time. He's got plenty of time to rest after his boxing career is over.

              the march now of never date is arum being greedy. he knows this fight will happen even if it gets moved. even mayweather wont pass this up at a later date, he needs the moolah.

              in any case, w/ the kind of busy lifestyle pac has, you could say it's too soon. he's got a film to finish, a couple of running tv shows to tape, endorsements to make and top it of w/ preparing himself for the coming elections. could be done, but it's distracting.

                I look at at Cotto's back to back wars with Margo, Mosely, Clottey and then Manny. Manny didn't have that hard of a time beating Cotto. Yeah, he took some shots, but i think there should be a resonable amount of time given him to prepare for another boxers style.

                If he fights Floyd, he will need a certain amount of time to adjust and train for his style. And to let his ear heal, which i don't know how long that will take, but from what i understand, the damage was very minimal, less than that cut Cotto got from the Clottey headbutt, so i figure it will heal in the time frame it would take him to properly prepare for Floyd.

                Manny shouldn't need any more time than Cotto took in between his back to back fights with those guys, seeing as how he beat Cotto pretty much with no problem, and is such a monster of a fighter. Now my expectations of Manny have escalated, seeing as how he has surpassed my expectations by such a wide margin.

                  That is not an excuse. It is a serious issue.

                    pac said after the fight he wants to enjoy his victory.. Never heard him say he wanted to fight on march.. it was just roach talking.. Dont get me wrong i want this fight to happen as soon as possible and may would be perfect if not for the ****** elections.. But march for me is too soon for pac coming off a big fight and onto an even bigger one..
