Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao Sparring With Steve Forbes and Beltran

[playaballer1]

Pac had his blood taken today and it was 20 days before his fight with Clottey. They said they wouldn't do anything that was not required by the commission, but they did and that sounds ******.

Anyway, it shows that Pac still want to fight Floyd and I see Pac giving up to Floyd's blood tests demand.

The fight of the century is not totally dead. It was only their egos and not the drug tests that killed the fight.

U got a link bro?

I have to give Roach props. He thinks he's slick and no one has mentioned it in this thread yet but why get Forbes to spar for Clottey? They fight nothing alike. He brings nothing to the table for a Clottey fight. This is all about them thinking that they will easily beat Clottey and sparring Forbes this soon gets them more prepared for a Floyd fight. He's sparred with Forbes alot for this fight and will probably be his chief guy next camp so by time he gets in the ring with Floyd it will be like 2nd nature. Its a pretty good move but Forbes aint no Mayweather

I was thinking that too.

Forbes would be an ideal guy to spar with for Floyd.

He's no where near as good, but it will help prepare Pac for a Floyd fight. Basically it's like 2 camps preparation lol.

Yes he is defensive, and Clottey has a high guard, but they are just different.

Pac is a southpaw and fast enough to exploit a shoulder roll. It's his footwork that he has to improve on to not get tangled up and Pac has that too in my opinion.

I would like to know who Floyd will have.

It doesn't matter if they want to cheer for Floyd, Pac, Shane or whoever. But what really makes them so ****** is that they're becoming so hypocrite instead of being thankful to have these boxers that keeps the sport alive.

the sport has been alive. before manny. there were tito,hopkins,de la hoya.
before them there were chavez, whitaker.
after manny there will be other fighters.
fighters come and go. The sport will never die.

If this is true, I think they are really looking pass clottey and preparing for Floyd.

Clottey is a glorified sparring fight, but Pac better not take it easy because Clottey works damn hard in training.

Just seems the Forbes bit, the fact they are doing blood tests is a test to see if it affects him.

Maybe it was very hard when he was cutting out so much weight before, but now it must be easier.

ALL my points Floyd VS May is on.

Can someone ban this Nathanielsz guy, this is the umpteenth time he's reported on how good Pacquiao looks in training. He always starts by heaping Hosannahs on the guy then ends up giving old news. This guy was almost thrown out of the Philippines he's a front runner and will stick to whoever is popular or in power. The way he reports it there are no flaws in Pacquiao. I like Pac but there are flaws in his style too. His defense needs work and his footwork looks awkward at times. Hopefully he keeps improving like he has been.

ya i dont get it, steve is much different than clottey...plus he is much smaller.
the floyd fight will never happen because floyd wont do it and pac wont take the tests....a shane pac fight wont happen either because freddie knows shane cannot be hurt and is still to technical with great power for a sometimes wild pac......so that fight will never happen...
what we will have is shane winning the first fight with a rematch with floyd...
watch..
