    What is the general consensus on Not fighting because of height.

    What do you guys feel about a "warrior" who says I will not fight him because of his height?
    I mean Barrera 5'6" just fought 5'10" Amir Kahn.

    Sharmba Mitchell 5'7" fought 6'1" Paul Williams.

    Miguel Cotto 5'7" fought 5'11" Antonio Margarito.

    Even Joan Guzman 5'7" fought 6'1" Ali Funeka.



    So whats the deal with Manny Pacquiao saying Yuri Foreman is too tall?

        have you even seen the interview when pacquiao said yuri was too tall?

        his concern was not that he can't beat yuri.

        his concern was that with the way yuri fights and with his height and size advantages , the fight might be boring.

        he didn't say he was scared of foreman and that he thought yuri would beat him because of his height.

        he was concerned it might be boring. he picked clottey because he thought it'd be a more exciting fight.

              so let me get this straight.

              when pac fought cotto , he should have fought clottey because clottey really won that fight.

              when pac was gonna fight foreman , he was fighting a nobody trying to get a paper belt.

              now pac is fighting clottey , why is he fighting clottey who already lost to cotto and he is scared of foreman?

              got it.

                  It's surely harder to land with power on a taller fighter. It would already be a risk for Manny to step up without having to deal with the height issue too. If there was a 5'8 champ at 154 I'm sure Roach would be interested.

                    pac doesn't really want to go up anymore.

                    154 is too much for the guy tbh. 147 is too much for him imo.
