Why wouldnt pac fight foreman because he was "too tall"

[Canelo Phresh]

So you don't think Manny would have beat the living **** out of Foreman? If so.....wow

no. he would have cought him and beat him but, roach wasnt sure he would so when he barked back at roachs **** talking with some confidence then roach backed off that idea. he last fight pacs handlers wernt sure was a shoe was marquez. every fighter since they knew was not a true threat. when foremans camp show true confidence back at roachs **** talking roach got the hell out of dodge on that idea.

[Jack Napier]

because Foreman is boring as hell

[Sin City]

the real reason is that resto was exposed and now roach knows he has no power. did you see the garcia fight? pacs got this fight in the bag.

and Foreman does have power? lol

[Canelo Phresh]

and Foreman does have power? lol

no foreman had defense and footwork which can win fights. and now you know and knowings half the battle. Gooooooooooooo Joe

[smokey559]

please man clottey didnt throw more than 400 punches thats why they fought him sure he was a defensive fighter but they knew he wouldnt throw much.

the "foreman is too tall" quote was a misquote/mistranslation.

i saw the tv interview the articles were quoting.

the interview was not in english.

basically pacquiao's reason was "that it'd be a boring fight and not exciting for the fans because of how yuri fights and how yuri will use his height."

something like that.

pacquiao never said he was too tall.

It was Roach who said that he was to tall and naturally bigger with good movement and they would had been stretching Pac to far

[ballgamessuck]

But marg is the same height and he will fight him?

Foreman was mentioned as a possible opponent for Paq the first time Floyd ducked Paq, Roach thought he would present problems for Paq that Paq hadnt seen yet, and it was another weight class. They decided to fight Clottey instead. A lot of people bashed the choice to fight Clottey, but part of the reason they chose to fight Clottey was that Clottey was the tallest fighter that Paq had faced, but still not as tall as Foreman. They found in the Clottey fight that Paq handled that height and reach advantage well, if Cotto hadnt beaten Foreman, Paq would likely be fighting Foreman now instead of Margarito. Its called stepping stones.

freddie saw shane KO marg that's the only reason he let pac fight him...

poochiao the "Leftovers 4 Leftovers" champion....

[PinoyZoi]

Duh you can obviously tel Bob Arum wanted Miguel Cotto to fight Foreman compared to Pacquiao/Foreman.

clottey is 5'8
reach 70 inches

pac is 5'6 and a half
67 inch reach

margarito is 5/11
reach 73 inches

and what about the delahoya fight?

delahoya 5/10 and a half
reach 73 inches (just like marg)

so in the delahoya/pac fight "they didn't find that pac handled "that height and reach well"?

delahoya is the tallest fighter pac has ever faced



see how biased mu***as like u re-wright history???
