Top Rank circle jerk is on loop rite now.............why are Roach, Arum and Manny so afraid to fight FMJ? Or even SSM?

[Kagami Taiga]

F all the bull. we all kno itd be an interesting fight. but i think even roach knos if he fights margs, it does nothing for pac's legacy. i rly hope if any of this **** is true, pac stands up against arum on this. margs has no presence in the ww div. and he wont for at least another year. doesnt deserve a shot at pac.

[CrackYourJaw]

It would be fun to watch, but that doesn't mean it should happen.

What are you talking about?

Cotto came right at him.
Oscar just stood there.
Diaz came right at him.
Hatto came right at him.
Clottey just stood there.
Barerra came right at him.



He has yet to fight a guy that will move, give him angles, show good defense and box for 12 FULL rounds. Cmon Mike wake up bro.

Marg is that SAME type pf fighter. Hes going to come right at Pac and Pac will go crazy on his face and stop him. It wopnt even be a fight. He eats brawlers for breakfast. You dont know that by now?

Pac will light him up. BADLY.

Okay if Pac can't fight Floyd, what elite fighter will give him the look you are talking about?

BTW, incase you haven't noticed in all of those fights Pac was the smaller man coming up in weight against a bigger fighter. Those guys fought him like that because they thought they were bigger, stronger and would bully him. That whole concept came from what midgeon sigarat did and the success Morales had at taking the fight to Pac. It's not Manny's fault those guys gotta outta there element thinking they could bull doze him

Also Cotto was boxing Pac as well as Oscar? I'm just curios as to why you twist facts like these?

Well what do you want us to do? Cry because a Floyd vs Pac fight won't be made? Regardless of what you say, Tony is a top 5 WW and a very live opponent. Cambell and Paulie are B-class even at 140 let alone WW (a class neither have ever competed at) I mean are you seriously comparing Pac fighting Margarito to Floyd fighting Paulie Malignaggi? Boy I tell ya................smh

Tony is a Top 5 WW?

Hes arguably shot, weight drained and just got KTFO and hasnt fought in a year.

Gimme a break man.

Honestly Arum has already said that if Margarito looks spectacular in his next two fights he could face Manny? So Tony will have to prove it in the ring, and we have no idea who Arum will put him against in july.

[jrosales13]

You never know.....with Bob Arum wanting to keep the money inside Top Rank and knowing all the money he could make off the mexican fanbase anything is possible...And by war I mean trading shots until Margo gets KTFO in the 5th round.

I don't think it would be smart for Pac to trade punches with Marg....

What is the exchange rate? For every US Dollar=10 pesos? I think that is right.

For Pac to get the money that he wants. He would have to get paid 100million pesos. I am sorry that is not happening...

That concept came form thats how they fought that night. No one ops in tape of the Singsurat video. Cmon man..lol.

Oscar did not box. He stood there and starred at Pac as he was punched in the face.

Cotto boxed the first round and after that he threw it out the window.

He needs to fight Floyd. PERIOD.

Margarito? Cmon man.

How is he shot? I mean he lost a fight...so what? that stuff happens in boxing a lot, that doesn't mean he is finished as a fighter. Also he will probably have two good wins under his belt, so the lay-off argument is out the window.

FWIW I would rather Manny get a belt at 154 and let Arum build up Tony for a showdown next year, but if it's made it the fall, so be it. It's still and exciting fight and I expect a FOTY type of bout.
