    Although it is a duck. I'll stick by this and hope he faces someone good
    Still man, Foreman would be a sitting duck.. does he have even over 10 ko's yet? Ill say it again i wont (and other people shudn't) pay for any fight involing Floyd or Pac unless its vs:

    Mosley/Berto
    Bradley
    Martinez or Williams

      Floyd fans are damn hilarious, first they say Fighting foreman is cherry picking and Foreman is a paper champ.

      Then Pac rejects and now saying pac ducked..

      Hilarious!

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

        HAHAHAHA and this is a ATG?
        Pacquiao > Mayweather when it comes to all time greats.

        Least he didn't duck him because "he didn't have a big enough fan base, he cant beat me, he's not a ppv star, he's roiding, etc" or any other bull**** Floyd excuse he's ever given.

          He rejected him because he was tall?

          Not because he was a **** challenge.

            It is a joke fight and he would smash Yuri.. how does it make it not a duck tho? not taking it because he is too tall/big??

            Thats a duck plain and simple..

            They hypocrisy around here man, if Floyd ducked a fight claiming a guy was too tall we wouldn't hear the end of it.

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.

              Bull****. Oscar De La Hoya is 5'10, one inch shorter than Foreman and also had a reach advantage of several inches. Mayweather is 5'8 and Diego Corrales is 6'1, but that didn't stop Mayweather from chopping Corrales down. I have my own conspiracy theory about this. Either Pac never intended to fight Foreman and it was a ploy to try to get Mayweather to agree to their terms or Foreman refused to fight at a catchweight of 150 and refused Pac's demand to enter the ring weighing no more than a certain weight (154 for example).

                  Nice compliment to Foreman.

                  Maybe we can see a better fight now. Bradley or Mosley would be cool.

                    At least Mayweather fought DLH at 154, even though he came in at 150.

                      I never expected Pac to fight PWILL and I never really expected Floyd to either. if he did it would be nice but I would rather see him fight the winner of Mosley>Berto and go from there.
