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

[-The Glove-]

You know I am getting a little tired with everytime its time to defend Manny "his camp and Roach said it" not him- Fear of needles, Blood testing.
But when its something good Pac people are like "Pac said"-Fight anyone etc.
Some of us see though this.

Then quit bitching and move on! Seriously why pose the question in the first place? I said before I don't think the heights the issue. And I never saw him expressing interest in this fight. You didn't want to see him fight a paper champ anyways, so why dread on it?

Even Manny knows his limits. He fought DLH at 147, but now you're asking him to fight a 5'11 dude at 154. He said he had no intentions of moving up to 154 after the Cotto fight. That's just too big and Manny is the first guy to admit it.

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?

You do realize that the main issue with Foreman was the weight, Manny would have to move up to 154lbs, although he did mention about Yuri's 6'0 height as being too much, do remember that Manny did fight DLH who is 5'10. Regardless, the 2" inch difference should'nt have been an issue, but the 154lbs weight is. But if you're trying to imply that Manny is not a warrior because of this or his a ducker because of this, you might want to rethink that, considering that he fought Cotto who beat Mosley.

Here you go lady Relax..It doesnt matter that you dont think Height was the issue when they already stated it was.

What you fail to realize is that Yuri would not have asked Manny to give blood, so he could have just taken some more PED's and just cleaned his urine, "tested clean" and came in with an advantage. No problem.

If he was on PEDS right? Unless you know something we don't. What gave it away? His head grew? His jawline changed? His hands are as big as sasquatch's?

Lmao. Who really wanted to see him fight Foreman anyways? His camp wanted Foreman but he didn't. It ain't height. DLH was 5'10". PAC said he's done moving up. Why would a boxer fighting at ww and barely tips the scale on fight night wanna move up another 7 lbs?

I did, I wanted to see him make history, whatever they say about Foreman, he earned his belt and it would've been an achievement for Pacquiao to beat him or even for Foreman to beat Pac if it was competitive.

He refused 50 million because of random blood testing

DUHHHH ! Maybe its the fact that is KO percentage increased outrageously as he grew older and his competion grew more talented.
Most KO artists are that way when they become professionals then they taper off.
He is similar to Sammy Sosa, Sosa came in a career 15 - 20 Homerun hitter then at the end of his career he averaged like 42 homeruns. His "fans were like "he just grew into it",,lol delusional

PS the bolded is technically a sign..Just ask Canseco, Bonds, Sosa, Mqcuire...lmao and Manny
