Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Cites Height Concerns, Rejects Foreman

[MOTHER DUCKER]

now u *****s wanna force him to fight yuri??

No, but we are happy to point out that this is ducking a guy wether he is **** or not due to his physical advantages.. something Mayweather gets **** on alot for.

I'd pay for Pac/Bradley or Mosley for sure, **** the yuri fight! still a duck

[RockStar45]

Man, it's not a duck. No one is clamoring for a Pacquiao-Foreman fight.

At least Pacquiao is somewhat honest. He thinks the guy is too big for him. No lame excuses. Just the truth.

[MOTHER DUCKER]

So what is it? Do you like Pac vs. Yuri or you don't. If you don't like it, don't cry ducking. At least Pac was honest enough to site his reasons why he will not fight an opponent....a valid reason. Not like "I'm not gonna fight Mosley coz he's on steroids and has 5 losses. I'm not gonna fight Pac cos every body else has already knock him out, Paul Williams needs to make a name for himself first, Margarito is a nobody"

It's ducking either way and no i don't think " not being a good draw" is a valid excuse either its totally lame, just like using height concerns is.

lol comedy, manny the chicken huh?

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).

the difference is that corralles and mayweather were both natural at the weight they fought at. Pac on the other hand isn't even a natural 147 pounder. I consider him a 140 pounder. Foreman is a 154 pounder + add up to the height and reach = disaster.

its not ducking if pacquiao fights a boxer whos better than foreman such as timothy bradley.. am i right?

[ThePunchingBag]

Yes, but Hoya wanted a pay check and Team Pac knew he would be dehydrated and zombiefied at 147 (a weight he hadn't made in years). So obviously he wasn't the same Hoya that Mayweather fought at 154.

It wouldn't matter anyway Yuri would have been outclassed. But again if this was Mayweather it would be considered a "duck".

I don't think Pac cared if Oscar was dehydrated or a zombie.

Any fighter in Boxing would give their right arm to fight Oscar regardless of physical advantage. The $$$ is huge.

Yuri Foreman is no Oscar De La Hoya. Not much money, not much legacy.

lmao Pacquiao is ducking Foreman because he is to tall

thats the same thing the Pacfans try to say about Floyd not fighting Paul Williams they say Floyd ducking Williams because he to tall

well now look Pac won't fight Foreman because he to tall and Foreman is no where near as good as Williams

[JoeKickAss]

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?

Floyd on Chad Dawson

Floyd: Skills pay the bills.

RA: Then fight Chad Dawson.

Floyd: He's too big.

Has Pacquiao ever said he was going to fight Bradley or did I miss something?
