      Theres half an inch between these two fighters,pacman had no fears about hoya's height but does about Foremans.

      Your Thoughts?
      One thing is certain. Floyd is 5'8'' taller than Pac (5'6'') who also fought Oscar but at this moment he's still trying to find his balls to fight Mosley a welterweight as he hasn't fought a real welterweights (only light welterweight and lightweight) for quite sometimes now. Pac may fight Yuri someday but Floyd (who is taller than Pac) to fight a light middleweight champ? You gotta be kidding.

            I think that besides the height Pacquiao didn't feel comfortable with the idea of putting on weight to move up to 154. Maybe he felt that he would be giving up to much advantage to Foreman, whereas at 147 the weight didn't matter. It might have to do more with weight because Manny was willing to fight Margarito who is close to Foreman's height. Margarito though is an easier match up then foreman due to the style differentials that both fighters possess.

              lol it has to do with the fact yuri foreman is a nobody in the game right now and bob arum has other plans for the young ***ish fighter.

              People were laughing at the mere thought of pac vs foreman. And pac takes on clottey and now people are saying pac is ducking foreman? lol nobody ducks foreman, it's not even possible at this point. It's like saying Mayweather is ducking Kermit Cintron cuz he chose to fight Shane Mosley instead.

                Foreman is the worst Champ in the Division and pretty close to the worst Alphabet Champ in Boxing. He beat Santos by a couple rounds and Santos had to lose alot of weight in a short period of time and Santos hasn't fought in a long time.

                  If Manny had fought and won against Yuri then what would stop Mayweather from demanding Manny to fight him at 154lbs.
