Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Plans To Chop Foreman Down To Size

[Sugar Q]

Do you not think Floyd asking for unprecedented rule changes is a major hindrance to this fight? Floyd and his team seemed pretty confident they could beat Pac, based on his most recent performances. I think the hysterical way they've been pursuing these baseless PED claims belies the truth in that.

Lol, dude you gotta be reading some of the same post Im reading. Is it really Floyd breaking rules or is it Manny? Testing should be the norm even for 4 rounders. Every fighter should know that their in a fairly contested fight as far as drugs are concerned. Floyd beats him on the ish or off it but I believe Floyd definitely stops him off it. Instead of thinking their wrong for asking for testing why arent you questioning Manny's resisting? What is this guy hiding? Floyd is saying let's strip down and do this how can you have a problem with that and ifs its no big deal why isnt Manny doing it? This should've been put to bed a long time ago. I'm giving you 50/50, the gloves you want, the ridiculous 10 mill weight limit rule your throwing in now your gonna be randomly tested just like me. So is this PBF's or Pac's unwillingness to bend that's f'ing this whole fight.

this fight will be easier because they will not fight at 154. Roach will make crazy demands and bully Team Foreman in negotiations. Besides, this was Roach's plan all along. I could see that a while back.

So you're a tarot reader now coach??

Pac will start the "chop down" by making Foreman fight at a catchweight of 150 pounds.

I never said Floyd was breaking any rules, I said he was trying to invent new ones. You're talking as if there's no drug testing in boxing. If there's going to be an overhaul of the rules, I'm all for it, but only after a full review of the situation has been done and not just at the hest of Team Mayweather for one fight.

This fight should be at 154 or nothing. I don't give a **** about the excuses.

Other wise it's not at 154 title fight imo and they should fight someone else at 147 then.

manny is biting off more than he can chew. 148 pounds vs 170 pounds is no joke.

You are underestimating Manny's ability to defeat his opponents -- in advance. First of all, Pac will force him to fight at 150 for his 154-pound championship. Then he will put a clause in the contract that says if Foreman comes into the ring weighing more than 154 pounds, Foreman will forfeit 75 percent of his purse. Then Manny will step in the ring and prove that he is the best fighter in the history of boxing and worthy of being worshipped by his BoxingScene servants by winning his 8th division title against the fourth best fighter at 154.

According to most fighters there might as well not be any testing which is why fighters have gotten away with using in the past. Gotta commend PBF on this cause not only is this right its very good for boxing. Manny is changing championship rules by changing the weight a championship should be contested at. What's with the 2 pound BS then he proudly comes out with the now I'm going for the 154 title which clearly means the 147 weight limit should've been upheld and you wanna talk about PBF asking for a clean fight dude your barking up the wrong tree. Being tested helps fighters but making a fight come down in weight can hurt them. I think you understand that.

But there is a precedent for championship fights happening at a catchweight. DLH did it against Hopkins and it happened in a Whitaker fight also. Having Olympic style testing for this fight does not benefit any other fighters, if anything it makes the sport even more elitist.

You're displaying the typical traits of a Floyd fanboy though, I must say. I'm a fan of boxing, and not just what's best for a select band of prima donnas.

Trying to beckon in some support eh? Try having an adult discussion, and relinquish your need for petty forum tribalism.
