        Foreman is 1 centimeter taller than Marg. Anyone over 5'11' and a centimeter is simply too tall.

          Because Yuri is boring boxer that doesn't engage and play keep away? Not Pac style.

          But I like him lots after Cotto fight.

              "Too big" as in Foreman is gonna use his size advantage and move around the ring; not trade. Doesn't matter, I never wanted to see Pacquiao vs. Foreman, but best believe Pacquiao wouldn't have looked impressive against Foreman.

                It was just a nice way of saying Yuri sucks. Manny could have easily cherry picked him for an 8th title....especially since they have sparred before and Manny beat the living **** out of him. Yuri's a nice kid and more than likely Manny saw that and didn't want to **** on him.

                    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.
