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

[pugay_kamay]

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

Yeah, and nobody said Forbes fights likes Floyd either.

You'd think he was fighting Mayweather since he has Forbes as a sparring partner lol.

Who's cares what Alex Ariza thinks when it comes to the boxing and about other welterweights, he does not have the expierance to know the differance.

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

Yeah, Pac is the topic but did he (pac) ask the writer to write it that way? Why would Pac be hated on someone elses' article? Why not the writer?

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.

Yoh! Filipinos are not ****** dude! Maybe you are!

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.

Correction, Floyd said Pac is :

- 1 dimensional
- has been KOed
- has 3 losses
- w/ or w/o "ROIDS" pac will loose

So what's the fuss of having Olympic-style drug testing all about?

Lame excuse and weak pass your giving Pac to not take the
tests and not making the fight. The tests was NO big deal
at all. Now Freddie Roach is talking about Clottey may be
Pac's last fight if Mayweather doesn't sign the contract?
Floyd did sign it but Pac didn't sign his part. I was once
trying to do business with this guy because he said he
wanted me to collaborate with him. We drew up a contract,
agreed to everything I wanted and I did the same including
the percentage.

When it came time to sign the contract he told me to do it first,
and notarize it, I did BUT he didn't want to do it until I sent him
my product over to him first? He NEVER intended on signing the
contract but instead was trying to bluff me to send over my product.
That's how I look at the Floyd/Pac situation. Floyd agreed and
signed the contract because he wanted the fight but Manny
found something for him not to sign and that was the random
blood tests request and made it look like it was a major problem
when it clearly wasn't. I don't talk from a fan perspective
but from experience of dealing with people.

Freddie Roach has suggested Manny Pacquiao's clash with Joshua Clottey could be the Filipino's swansong if a deal cannot be struck with Floyd Mayweather Jr.

How can people cosign that?

[El Jesus]

This is exactly what came to my mind by reading just the title of the article. Idk. Maybe Steve could emulate Clottey.

im gonna tell you the same thing i told everyone when carlos baldomir was brought in for mayweather/hatton. its just work. they are bringing in guys to get something specific in. I sinerely doubt forbes would emulate mayweather for them based on his relationship with the latter.

[megas30]

Yeah, and nobody said Forbes fights likes Floyd either.

Exactly what i thought. They didn't the fight with Floyd because they felt they weren't prepared. Clottey and Forbes are just a disguised preparation for a Floyd fight.


Of all the fighters at Welter and Junior, these two fighters in Clottey and Forbes, are the closest one can get to the fighting style of Floyd. Freddie, Pac, and Arum are full of sh**t. They better not take Clottey lightly, because just by their actions alone, one can tell Pac is overated.
