Do I agree with Pac being the FOTD? Yea I do...

Some other interesting quotes from the chat:

-------------

What chance do you give Hatton-Khan of eventually coming off?

Dan Rafael (1:54 PM): 95 percent. It'll get done.

-----------
Congrats on getting the boos at the press conference. The day you get cheers from the crowd is the day you become a sellout. And thanks for your honesty in merely stating the obvious when it comes to pointing out the risk-factor (or lack thereof) of some of Mayweather?s recent opponents.

Dan Rafael (1:10 PM): Thanks. The booing didn't really concern me. I was actually amused. I'd rather get booed than have them silent. LOL. I did joke with De La Hoya afterward that I was glad he was there to be booed louder than I was.

----------

Is Larry Merchant working next week's PPV?

Dan Rafael (1:50 PM): No, he's not working the Pac-Clottey fight. Max is on next week's PPV and Larry is on the Mosley-Mayweather PPV.

--------------

Mayweather bringing up Mosleys wife and divorce shows he has no class

Dan Rafael (2:16 PM): That was a bit of a low blow. I didn't hear Shane bringing up his tax problems or past legal problems.

---------------

Hey Dan,You interviewed Mosely and Mayweather for a pretty good length of time at the press conference. I saw the quotes in the notebook, but was there anything worth writing an article about or was it just the standard responses?

Dan Rafael (2:26 PM): I have good stuff from Shane for a future article. Mayweather was no interested in answering any real questions with thoughtful answers.

And??????????? Whats your point? Pretty much everybody agrees on that

[jrosales13]

For the record I don't really like Dan Rafael...

[Carpe Diem]

Shocking. I didn't see that coming.

The majority of the boxing world declared Pacquiao FOTD, not just Rafael.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Get out of town. Really Dan? Im shocked.

yeah this thread is kinda dumb, i think the vote was a complete land slide, when you factor manny's big wins, movement in weight, and his exciting style, its a no brainer. If floyd didn't retire and fought the likes of cotto,mosley,marg,williams,clottey, a couple of those guys atleast, then it would have definitely been a very close vote.
