Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Cites Height Concerns, Rejects Foreman

[go1nbanana]

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

"ducking" is not fighting your own size, not fighting tough fighters on your own weight class. what is pac's original weight class? he's best at 130-140. how many level of class does he need to move up?

whereas floyd has chosen not to fight the best in his weight class (147).

Not in pac's weight class = no duck. This is the standard for everyone, you cannot be ducking if you don't want to fight someone out of your weightclass for whatever reason.

thank you! Now try explaining that to the *****'s outthere....

Thre's still a lot of ww out there that pac needs to fight after Cotto. Now they looking at Clottey maybe next is Mosley or Berto. No need to fight in a hurry Yuri Foreman. What funny is Floyd's next fight is Malignaggi or Hatton. Really a ducker

Wasnt Pac looking to fight Paulie? Hmmmmmmm

[Phatfarm1980]

Please anybody but Paulie Malignaggi.

Hopefully tim Bradley - that fight would be an absolute war!

How can it be a duck when pac doesnt need to fight him?? Or foreman was a top elite fighter and had to fight pac, mosley floyd etc the best

no sence at all

The only thing i can think of for not going for this fight is that he must already struggle with the height of khan who 5.10ft in sparring.

Then why did Roach say in an interview late last year, if they fought Marquez again it would have to be in the 140+ range & not in the 130 -140 range.

Only one fight at Lighweight & it was against the lowest rated belt holder. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.

The reason the Foreman fight is not going forward is probably due to Foreman refusing to fight at some BS catchweight where he would be weight drained like DLH.

These guys are the ATG's in the duck & weave category when it comes to selecting fights.

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.

you people are so hilarious! first, you call pac a duck when it was arum who proposed Foreman to be the next opponent and that it would be an easy fight for Pac as Foreman is a feather-fisted champ. I'm sure you're the same people who claimed that fighting foreman is not a good idea cuz it reinforces the ****** idea of Pac beefin up on riods. Now that it's unlikely to happen, you haters starts calling him a duck for for not fighting foreman! logic please. a real duck is a fighter calling somebody out but would eventually demand an unheard-of ridiculous test that's never been done before, and probably never will, resulting in the cancellation of the fight! Pac was ready to go but, jeez, PBF will always find a number of excuses not to fight!
