Manny Pacquaio: The Real Reason He Won't Fight Any Junior Welterweights

[Khalid X]

didn't he fight oscar at 147 and weighed 148 1/2 on fight night?

Yes....but you do know most big LW come in 145-150 on fight night.....so I really don't know what point you are trying to make?

and how much do jr welters usually weigh on fight night? most lightweights don't come in as ww on fight night .
the point is that you try to make it seem like manny is small and had to gradually work his way up to fight at the weight but his fight with oscar happened before the cotto,hatton and clottey fight and he weighed 148 1/2 that was more than oscar

I guess Mayweather fans need to talk about something these days.

I still don't get what you are trying to imply with this response. Oscar was the cash king, and just like Floyd had to go up for a fight....so did Manny. DLH is the exception for obvious reasons. Why do you think Team Pacquiao immediantly stated that he doesn't belong at WW and it was only a one and done deal. Hell there were talks of a Margarito and Cotto fight, and most people thought it was crazy for Manny to fight either at that time.

Again....there are JWW bigger than Manny. Manny has never weighed over 150 fight night...and just the other day, Victor Ortiz came in 155 for his fight with Vivian Harris.

team pac said that for future rferences so they can have an excuse like always.floyd moved up 3 lbs to fight oscar and then lost 2 lbs on fight night where as manny went from 135 to 147 then weighed 148 on fight night so manny is not as small as you try to make it seem and fighters like ortiz and khan are big fighters they will not be jr welters for that long thats why they come in so big on fight night because they are more welters than jr welters most other fighters in that division are not that big

I keep reading Manny got dropped by a body shot...link please?

The video they refer to is actually of Manny dropping a scrub with a body shot while sparring. You can tell it's Manny because of his shorts and at other points during the video when his headgear is off.

Manny and Amir sparred before the DLH fight, but there is no video of them dropping each other. For some reason the rumor spread that it was Pac getting dropped even though you can plainly see it's Pac doing the hitting and it's not Khan who goes down.

Just youtube Pacquiao-Khan sparring.

[BoZz]

it was the plan because arum say it is now unlikely. but notice arum dont say no way.

manny will fight mosley in spring. watch.

Well done..you can read arum and his crookedness really good.

In the last two years, Manny Pacquaio has received three belts in three different weight classes. If he is successful November 13, that will be his fourth in two years.

Sounds real accomplished, but what’s also su****ious is none of the belts were ever defended.

I’m starting to think that Manny is not interested in fighting any top contenders in any of these weight classes. If he is able to put away Antonio Margarito for the vacated Super Welterweight WBC title, you can bet he won’t be defending that title either.

You just turn a blind eye to suit your dumb thinking. Pacquiao defended the WelterWeight title against Clottey, Mosley, now against Marquez. Your reasoning failed you.
