Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Malignaggi Looms; Schaefer Balks at Final Offer

[deejd]

I like the Fact that PacMan is not letting Floyd strongarm him in negotations, but Choosing ***-lignaggi is just Piss Poor. Since Mosely is the only other Great fighter at 147, and with a Berto Date in January, i think Foreman at 154 or Bradley at 140 is the much better choice. OF Course Valero would be a NIce Replacement as well, and since he only has a license to fight in Texas, a fight at Cowboy Stadium would be Possible and that fight would be great while it lasts. Bradley would be my pick to replace Mayweather and i believe Bradley would not miss a chance to Fight Pacman for that kind of money because of a Drug Test. True Bradley gets KOed in 5 rounds but it would be more entertaining than 100 Rounds of watching Mayweather. But The Pressure will hit Mayweather and he will soon realize that he is looking like a Coward to alll of Boxing, so i imagine Mayweather will balk and Sign on the Dotted line as Mannys *****

Malignaggi.

Not Paul Williams who is coming back to '47.
Not the Mosley-Berto winner.
Not Sergio Martinez.
Not Tim Bradley.
Not even Cory Spinks at '54.

But "ey yoo, Paulie."

At least Pac will still look like an invincible beast walking through his jabs.

I didn't know PBF, Leonard Ellerbe, and Schaefer were felons/crackheads, thanks for the sturdy information.

Are you not able to read or are you not able to read? Mayweather agreed not to have any testing done within 24 hours of the fight.

The closest date that Pacquiao and Roach would agree to was 30 days. Then Roach stated that they wouldn't take the tests two weeks from the fight. Then Roach pushed it back to 30 days with the help of Bob Arum and his pointless "alternatives."

Hey no accusations, just want to know why they picked Paulie and maybe a check for $10 million over a few random blood tests that came with a $40+ million? Weird yeah.

Who started this ****? Thats right sr and he is a convicted felon. Uncle rodger is a known ex-crack addict. How convenient you ignore who i obviously was talking about and bring up Golden Boy...especially since supposedly Mayweather isn't working for them.

Pacquiao and Roach have both said within a week in smaller interviews. Arum and Top Rank are the ones speaking about 30 days and Pac's speech yesterday was obviously prepared by Top Rank (he doesn't speak English like that).

Why they pick Paulie...hmm maybe because they can't deal with Mayweather, I don't know, I can't speak for them.

Both camps have given ultimatums, both camps have caved to one extent. I don't think this is over yet.

I agree with everything you said..except HATTON fought MAYWEATHER at 147lbs...PACQUIAO fought HATTON at 140lbs where he was never defeated and is younger than PACQUIAO...don't discredit PACQUIAO's win over HATTON...many people except die hard PACQUIAO fan's chose HATTON to destroy PACQUIAO. Give PACQUIAO and ROACH props...ROACH IS A STRATEGIST AND A COACH, plus PACQUIAO an excellent student equals a FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH. Pacquiao being a filipino knows how to respect their elders and will listen to someone with knowledge despite their accomplishments...MIKE TYSON, BERNARD HOPKINS, JAMES TONEY...cMON man I hate to say this but we all know that N***** don't listen in class, thats why those guys were not successfull with ROACH. Those guys were all about their egos, rather than listen to their white coach.

What are you talking about? Pacquiao was the heavy favorite to beat Hatton....

Oh yeah.... and if we're talking about resumes? Who did Hatton beat at 140 aside outwrestling Kosta at home?

[snoopy360]

Were you watching "New Jack City" when you posted this?

anyway.

Freddie Roach has been tied to steroids in the past (see James Toney vs. Ruiz in 2004, yeah, he trained him then.... funny how Pac's last lost came in March of '05 right?).

oh yeah they did give out turkey's in that movie didn't they. Damn you really had to reach back in the library for that. Must be your only reference to the ******.

Freddie trained him he wasn't his nutritionist. Nice try on your failure.

I just don't have anything good to say about Pacquiao right now. I feel bad about it and I wanted to give credit for his win over Cotto. But when you really look at that win is it all that impressive? Cotto's face always busts up and his stamina is below average. Clottey would've beaten him if he would've been more aggressive in the last three rounds. A lot of people think Berto is trash on here, but I think it's gotten to the point of where Berto could probably beat Cotto. Pacquiao has a lot more to prove and fighting Malinaggi just isn't gonna cut it.

True and that KO was poetic if not epic. However I'm just pointing out that Hatton had never lost a fight until Mayweather and that Mayweather did put a beating on Hatton. Anyone looking to discredit Manny's win will obviously point that out. However I fail to see Paq carrying all this Supposed power that everyone eludes to when Paq has failed to KTFO of someone that has been at 147 or higher. Both Delahoya and Cotto were TKO'd not KO'd. True he beat them into submission but he never striaght up KO'd them like he has guys at 140. That in itself shows that there are limitations to Paq's power. If Paq was on some kind of super steriods like they are eluding to, then he would have knocked cotto senseless in the 2nd round and Delahoya wouldn't have had the sense's to say I quit.

Not necessarily true my friend. James Toney is naturally smaller (yes he is, believe it or not) than John Ruiz. He was using a banned substance and he couldn't KO Ruiz.

I really didn't think Pac was on anything just because I didn't think Cotto or Hatton were anything special (got duped in the DLH fight like everyone else)..... it's just the ridiculous reasons as to why Roach wouldn't let Manny take the random blood tests and the way their team went into a panic and brought out the usual ignorant Pac homer excuse, "Mayweather is scared", to try and dig themselves out of a situation that could've easily been avoided since Pac is clean.... you know?

[deejd]

Let me say one word to you......"random". Ahhhhbawahhhhwahhhnoway!

These two boxers have to make sure everything in their favor for them to take fights as of late. Big turn off. These guys are not worthy of the hype they get because they refuse to take on the top guys at these weight classes. Ex....Mosely, Williams, Berto, Martinez @WW. Bradley, Alexander, Etc@Jr WW.

To hell with all this cherry picking, catch weight ...> BS.

Martinez is a Jr. Middleweight by the way.

[Iceta]

To sum it up I would be more inclined to give Pacquiao some credit for beating Cotto if his fall back plans included some good opponents in case the Mayweather fight falls apart. With Golden Boy being involved with Mosley, I could somewhat understand why Arum probably doesn't wanna go that route, but Bradley is a ready and willing opponent and I heard HBO would pick up the fight in a heart beat. And not only that, Mosley will not be fighting under Golden Boy after his fight with Berto to my knowledge. So those are two good opponents that Pacquiao could fight and those guys aren't even coming out of his mouth.

I think there is truth that Pacquiao can only beat straight ahead fighters with no craftiness. We saw what Cotto was able to do to him in the early part of the fight before he got caught. But Cotto lacks the ability to stick to a consistent game plan.

[Journeyman]

this was my number one nightmare matchup of all time...

pacquiao's camp might wanna take out their frustrations on this kid whos been one of the first boxers making accusations against manny.

i hope this never takes place.

[deejd]

LOOK UP HEMATOMA...then you will know why there should be a cut off date to taking blood samples...MAYWEATHER knows that he can't hurt PACQUIAO, **** he couldn't even hurt a pissed drinking MARQUEZ....

Neither could Pacquiao
