Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao-Berto Possible; Koncz: Mosley Most Likely

people criticise Floyd for saying things like "legacy dont pay bills", but all Manny's opponents are chosen because of economic numbers....

even if they have already been beaten before they still get a shot....All of Manny's past four opponents have had a loss at least 2 fight prior to facing..

Cotto
DLH
Clottey
Margarito

Manny please fight Berto or the winner of Bradley/Alexander...not Mosley!

Who doesn't have any loss brother? Only mayweather is for he's afraid to fight the ones who have the chance to erase his "0".

you know what, i do too...all these strong big guys dont match up against manny...i've noticed these guys keep on harping that they have to pressure manny and stay on him or do some big strong guy s_hit, did they not watch the films of manny destroying those guys who try to pressure him? it boggles my mind why these trainers dont get past the "oh he is small we have to pressure him tactics"? if you pressure or trade with manny you'll get a bruised face or knocked down or out, pressure doesn't cut it with manny even when the other guy is big and strong

I agree with that statement. Manny is just too fast to
pressure and trade punches with him. to beat Manny a
fighter would have to neutralize his speed.

even ariza said mosley quit mentally in the mayweather fight

ariza is doesn't know what's going on in the mind of another person, ariza is also saying that manny will knock floyd out in 3, would you believe that? ofcourse not... you quote someone if it suits your argument...ariza is not psychic

[marikudo]

if i was clottey i would feel disrespected either way!

Clottey will have more chance of beating these slick american black fighters than the other way around. Bradley and alexannder won't have a chance. They will be both steamrolled by Clottey. Slickness won't win fights.

its never been explained in a logical argument, but why does Manny need the advantage of a catchweight in some of his fights?

he's already the pound for pound #1 fighter and in his prime. And pretty much a favorite vs just about anyone you throw him in with

so why does Manny need the deck stacked further in his favor with a catchweight if going into the fight, he's viewed as the better overall fighter?

I agree with that statement. Manny is just too fast to
pressure and trade punches with him. to beat Manny a
fighter would have to neutralize his speed.

manny's opponent should be fast too and have power to discourage manny from attacking...although its hard to discourage manny NOW... he took punches from a guy weighing 165lbs and didnt get discouraged....

So then let him and Martinez meet where it's feasible. Or him and Williams. But of course, when he doesn't fight either one, you'll be celebrating anyway. Whee! It's Manny!

i want a good fight and if martinez can make 150 weigh in then thats a good fair fight right there considering pac will be 148 and martinez at 165 fight night

i wanted pac to fight at 154 b4 the fight with marg happen, then saw him having trouble making 150 how more will he have problem at 154 :/// really *****s ur hate is to the extreme

They really tryna fight a african american fighter but it seems to be anybody except for Mayweather..this is a joke..they know exactly what it takes to make the fight happen..

Agreed. First, Koncz should just STFU!!! Who does he think he is a promoter? He's nothing but a glorified GOFER for the Pacman. Mosley, though a very good boxer back in the day; but he's spent. He is a very nice guy, if it was up to me - a sympathy fight with Manny to get him his last big payday would be really "OK" for me. He deserves it!!! But for competition-wise, IMO Berto, Bradley & Alexander are still too green for the likes of Pacquiao...the only "AA" (African American) fighter out there at this present time is none other than Chicken Fraud May-never. Unfortunately. All other fighters pale in comparison. Again, there is no other AA fighter out there at Pacquiao's level - only May-never compares. And in light of his recent and ongoing legal escapades, we "may-never" see the fight we all want to see.

Berto, bradley, mosley ... rate their slickness?
bradley would be the slickest for me if i've to choose from these three.

Shane is not slick at all

[tusc1976]

but would that potential Berto-Pacquiao bout actually be at full Welterweight .. or some silly catchweight like 144?

Why would Pac have Berto come down to 144 when Pac has fought Clottey @147 and Marg @150?
