Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Cites Height Concerns, Rejects Foreman

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Some thought it might be a stretch to see WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao move up to 154-pounds to challenge WBA title-holder Yuri Foreman in March. Top Rank promotes both fighters and offered Foreman as a replacement for Floyd Mayweather Jr. The people who thought it would never happen said Foreman was just too big for Pacquiao, who fought Miguel Cotto last November at a catch-weight of 145-pounds.

who is ducking now??

Dude is only 5,11, Corrales was 6 ft +

[Shattered Jaw]

Excellent news. Hopefully we will see Pac fight someone worthwhile now. Not cherry-picking the weakest paper-champ in a division where he is probably not even a top 5 competitor (ala David Diaz).

[B u r n e r]

He wont fight because hes tall...LMAO.

He ducked the sorriest, weakest belt holder at 154 because hes tall??

HAHAHAHA and this is a ATG?

[Jayseen]

I guess he ain't fighting Paul Williams either.

Yes but Floyd is 2 icnhes taller so 1 inch shorter. Plus Floyd has 72 inch reach while Manny has only 67.

Although it is a duck. I'll stick by this and hope he faces someone good

[M.I.C.]

Team Pac/Arum are just on a tear as of late. They are clueless

[Chups]

From a "Yuri Foreman vs. Pac is a complete joke" to "Pacquiao is ducking Yuri"................LMAO!!!

You guys are dumbasses............LOL!!

[WESS]

If this was Mayweather it would be considered "ducking". Pac would have destroyed him anyway. He's not on the level to compete.

[ThePunchingBag]

I hope Pac fights Bradley.

Fighting Foreman wouldn't mean much in terms of legacy.

Historical significance? Yes.

Legacy? No.
