    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.
    LMAO!..

    It got misquoted that horribly!!?..Nah..I doubt that..

        Pacquiao would knock Yuri out within four. The guy was a taller Jennings and nothng else to it.

            So he cherry picked Marg instead?

                Foreman is a mover, Margarito isn't.

                Margarito practically neglects his height advantage.


                put it this way:

                huge height advantage + mover = bad style matchup, really.

                  After the DLH fight, Roach was asked if Pac should be fighting Margarito, Freddie said- we are brave but not that brave. times have changed.

                    only haters. all those boxers that Manny didnt fight suddenly become a very good fighters because Manny duck them. like Yuri Foreman etc. etc. *****s are so funny.
