Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Cites Height Concerns, Rejects Foreman

[p4p-champ]

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).

Bingo, we have a winner.

good who really wanted to see this fight anyway

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!

Seriously. The hatred for the man is so evident. Some might even say it's downright racist.

Bradley... Bradley... Bradley... Fight Bradley NOW DAMN IT.... Man if Mosley woulda held out just a couple more months he'd have Floyd and Manny begging him for a fight lmao that woulda been funny

[ThePunchingBag]

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.

Same here. In terms of boxing skills he's nothing special, but his physical stature is too much for shorties like Mayweather and Pac.

Never expected either of them to fight him.

HOW TALL IS OSCAR ????


5-10.....73 inch reach.


Foreman is 5-11.............72 Inch REACH.

This Pac guy is a joke man.

I was picking foreman to win anyways cuz of his style, size and very underrated power at 154 lbs. I've said several times in my past posts that pac is a natural 140 lbs and even if foreman doesn't punch hard, he could still hurt pac. He knocked down santos for god's sake! Anyways, at least pac was man enough that foreman would be too much for him, unlike someone.

SMH @ Manny ducking Yuri.

[sikwatee]

This is some funny news. But even though Pac "ducked" (if that's how you call it) Foreman, I was glad to see this news because I never wanted this fight to happen.

Btw, isn't de la Hoya 5'10?? It's a bit impossible for Pac to not fight a 5'11 guy.

It may seem like a "duck" but I see this as a "nah,I don't want to fight him.. He doesn't add on to my legacy".

Pac vs Floys seriously needs to happen though. Seriously.

[bbboxing]

God. some people are just complete fools. It is not ducking if the guy is almost 2 divisions above you.

Manny is honest. He is barely a welterweight. He knows that the height and weight difference will pose a great danger to him.

Im sure he will fight someone of more importance.
