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

[mrjoeblive]

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.

this is a good post. boxing has never relied on one boxer. everyone has different taste. if we all got excited by the same style, well then the sport might be in trouble

I think when Pac gets beaten in spaarring, then Pac may be slipping.
But Roach keeps a close supervision on Pac and if he says Pac is in great shape he knows it.
Roach will always make sure Pac at a certain level.

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.

I believe Pac's trainer was the one who chooses sparring partners for him. There can be some other reason why Forbes was there and not just to emulate Clottey.

Pac has been very scared of losing blood that he claims he was weaken by the blood taken from him before he fought Morales. It should be different at welterweight.

Yeah, I agree with you. But somehow, being too much of a ***** and being too much of a ******* could be hurting and ******.

This why I don't like Pacquiao what's up with all this hero and god stuff this guy is not that important. He not even a real 7 division champion

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

forbes doesn't have mayweather's speed but he's one of the few guys that can mimic floyd's shoulder roll defense pretty good.

they can switch up forbes and khan in camp. forbes for the style and khan for the length and speed.

that'd be good.

Now you acknowledge that Manny is realy GREAT!!!

I don't think manny is a GREAT fighter, I'm only commenting to those who thinks he is. If you really knew boxing you would see through the truth. Manny is a manufactured fighter that Bob Arum has fooled the public(especially the filipino) audience that they have a good fighter. Look at how he got KO'd in those bouts you will see a below then average fighter.

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.

who the hell said the blood tests ISN'T required by the commission?

you need to take a physical exam every year to fight in nevada.

floyd wil not fight packy.....he already made that clear when he said he aint taking 50/50 if his fight with shane does better than pac vs clottey...we all that shane is way bigger draw than clottey......he will never not fight packy!

CORRECTION..... Packy ain't and DIDN'T want to fight Floyd.
How fast people memories fade. Supposed to be Floyd
and Pac in the ring on March 13th to my recollection.
Pac dropped the ball. Now their using Steve Forbes
for sparring with Clottey? How obvious is it that Roach
didn't think March was enough time to get prepared for
Floyd. Freddie even said it! How can anyone in their
right minds think Floyd ducked this fight with all the
evidence is there that Team Pac didn't want it? This
is not about being a Pac or Floyd fan this is about the
truth and the truth is Pac walked away from the fight.

Forbes is there cuz hes fighting soon,and roach is training him.
