Manny Pacquiao challenges Yuri Foreman March 20

[boxing77]

Time to move on frm scard floyd,plus he just doesnt deliver in his now slow pace fights,i mean peple pay good money wanting to see an action packed fight!!!!not a game of tag,if i wanted to see that i would watch karate tournaments!!!pac is the most exciting fighter right now for a reason,not floyd,so all roads dont lead to floyd!!just aint what he used to be!!!!

[Weebler I]

ummm...... if he losses to yuri it'll be because yuri is too big and pacquiao is not big enough at 154?

just a thought.

yep that's the thing, Pacquiao has no business even being in the ring at that weight, if he loses at least he had the balls to step up and reach for glory rather than being a coward and playing it safe.

Are you on chlordiazepoxide? A fight against Mayweather would bring to the table, the answer we are all waiting for. Who deserves the top spot in the P4P list, Mayweather -best defence- or Pacquiao -best offence-

After he destroyed floyd people will just say "oh well floyd is all hype that's why he's been ducking all those legit opponent before at 140+" and i agree to them that floyd is only a hype in 140 above he didn't fight any threat in almost 5 years. I will consider him as a threat against pac if he wins against cotto/mosley/p. williams but for now pac doing the right thing getting his 8th championship belt in 8th division.

Will there be excuses for pacquiao if somehow he loses to yuri? If yuri beats pacquiao i think i'll never stop laughing....i mean NEVER ! How will we view pacquiao if he loses to yuri foreman?

pac vs foreman will be like david and goliath and this will be a 50-50 fight because of foreman's size.

Foreman is no pushover .

"the best ***ish fighter of all time" apparently goes the distance in most of his fights. Tough chin on the kid.

Arum and Pacquiao have turned attention away from Mayweather which is good lox for Yuri Foreman
» I told you that Manny Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum was completely frustrated.

Now the Pacman promoter, unable to get the Floyd Mayweather camp to come off its persistent demand for random blood testing, has turned to his own stable of fighters to select the Pinoy Idol's next ring foe.

As he suggested several times before, Arum is going to match Manny up against newly crowned WBA junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman--he of Belarus, Israel and now Brooklyn. The likely date for the bout is March 20, a week after the projected Mayweather-Pacquiao date at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Vegas will be the site for Pacquiao-Foreman as Pacman attempts to make more ring history by winning a world title in a record eighth weight class. When he stopped Miguel Cotto Nov. 14 for two welterweight crowns, Pacquiao recorded his seventh weight class world title bout.

Arum may swtich venues from the MGM to the Thomas & Mack Center on the UNLV campus.

Arum will meet with Foreman's manager, restaurant owner Murray Wilson, on Sunday morning in Las Vegas.

So maybe the "odds and ends" of the deal for the rabbinical student's first title defense will be made over bagels and lox.

Certainly, you could say that Mayweather's misfortune, in killing or deferring a $30 million paynight, is good lox for young Foreman.

Here's one future rabbi who will never go hungry.

What happened to the deal with Malignaggi that was all but finalized. The truth is they never intended to fight Malignaggi. They always planned to fight Foreman instead of Mayweather.

WTF..

After dodging the top guys Campell, Guzman or Diaz @ 135, Bradley @ 140 and Mosley @ 147 they are now ducking Martinez and Williams @ 154?

sickening..

do u call Guzman top guy??? look how he look at 135?? he almost didnt fight in that division!! Diaz never been the same after fighting Campbell .And as for Campbell if Pac beats him theyll just discredit him again like fighting an old fading fighter, ull just say Pac is better coz he only fights old guys....what more Mosley
