Brother Naazim Richardson comments on Pacquiao

[rao007]

He's not small, compared to most fighters he's faced. But to cotto, dlh, and Mayweather, he is. I've met him before in person, the guy is tiny, he has a very narrow frame. Most of the weight on him are muscles developed as he career developed. He could fight at 135 easily at the moment. I've never seen Mayweather in person before, so I don't know his real size. But from what I've seen on TV, he is naturally the bigger person, no doubt.

But is that an excuse I will offer up if Mayweather beats Pacman? No. By the same token, that will not be a something I will show off if Pacman KTFOs Floyd. Because these guys agreed to fight. And that's fair and square.

But to say Manny is not naturally small is just asinine and ignorant.

Did you meet him during training or when he was on vacation? He probably looks a lot bigger during his off-time.

****m also met Pacquiao personally. And, yes, I agree that Pacquiao is the naturally smaller man compared with some of his opponents recently. However, he's not as small as people seem to think.


****m Richardson:All of these guys underestimate Pacquiao thinking he's the small man. When I met Pacquiao, I wasn't saying how does this guy make welterweight? I was saying how in the hell was he making 130 and 135?



This is Pacquiao April 27, 2008, a month AFTER the Marquez II fight:

Brother ****m Richardson:
Oh, I don't mess with that stuff man. Now in the last couple fights they asked me to pick. I called them and I picked the right guy. But my thing is this man: Everybody at this level can fight, everybody is special up at that level. So your queen can't do more than my queen, your rook doesn't move in a way my rook doesn't move. It's going to be the strategy employed that makes the difference

Now, I'm gonna tell you, though. From Floyd's perspective: the minute you start talking about how small Pacquiao is, you're beat. I told Shane, "if you fight him, if anybody in the camp calls you bigger than Pacquiao, I'll put them out of the camp."

Because that's just media ****. Every time they mention Pacquiao they mention he started at 106 lbs. Well, hot damn, all of us at one time were under 25lbs! I got up to be over 300 lbs, but one time I was under 25 lbs. Why do they talk like that, "You know he started his career at 106."

But they keep bringing it up and I told them the same thing; the greatest trick the devil ever did was convince the world he didn't exist. The greatest trick that Pacquiao ever did was convince you all that he was a small man! And he's going to keep beating the **** out of people who keep thinking he's a small man. At 147 lbs., Pacquiao is a small man like Mike Tyson was a small heavyweight!

Was Mike Tyson a small heavyweight? Well, he was a pretty short heavyweight, but short and small are two different things. As long as they keep believing that they'll get beat. Cotto did that though the first couple of rounds. He hit Pacquiao the first couple of rounds and Pacquiao stood there, and Cotto is like, what? He gonna stay there a little longer.

Let me ask you a question. Muhammad Ali was the taller man against Frazier, correct?

Ali shot the jab, and circled. Didn't that happen?

When do we change in boxing and say, "the guy is shorter than me I'm gonna walk him down." That was boxing 101, that was common sense in boxing. I thought everybody knew-I thought people who couldn't box knew that. Cotto is in there, and Oscar walking him down. Is Muhammed Ali gonna walk Joe Frazier down? "Joe Frazier's the small heavyweight." So don't tell me Pacquiao is smaller. Either guy can win.

Well done man, you're right, best i ever read in thiss match up

[Rich Joke]

Very smart man

Dude, Pac when you meet him in real life is not big at all. Compared to big but fragile boned Floyd, Pac is comparably smaller.

I know because i usually bet against him playing on the pool table and he's not even training that time.

I wonder why ****m would say he found it hard to believe Pac made the 130-135lb mark.

By the way, do you have pics of Pacquiao during his off-season?

Sorry i don't have, i'm not a fan of his and i don't go walking around with a camera especially during night time.

He lost some money though trying to 'practice' his pool skills with the hustlers.

It was at night? Okay. You're not a fan but have the phonetically sounding username of Pacquiao?
