floyd didnt wana fight cotto when cotto was one of the champions in WW division and toney was the most avoided man at WW...in a interview they asked jr why he wont fight miguel and he said' cuz he lives in puerto rico' ..and for a margarito fight i think he was offerd 10mil and PPV 's and didnt take the fight ..im not saying jr dont have the skills to fight them its just he didnt fight them at all..

i have the all time great stats fo ******ed people like arum and *******s that are saying that pac is the greatests fighter that ever lived, its insulting to hear because he doesnt come even close to the all time greatest.its one thing to say pac is your favorite fighter quite another to shiaat all over the history of the sport and the all time greatest.

Got a lot on my mind lately, but here it is, basically - Manny doesn't really look like he's on something, because things he does a person of his age and dedication can do. It isn't like he's throwing punches non-stop for the whole 12 rounds. He looks pretty legit to me, considering...

Well that's your opinion, bud. It's worth as much as mine. But since it never occurred to you that Evander was juicing...I'm not so sure lol. But no, he doesn't look legit to me at all. Not standing there with a straight face talking about I need 30 days to heal.

However, when Cotto was the WBO 140 champ, his promotor cited that he was too green to fight Mayweather when Money wanted that fight. And when Money hit welter, Margarito was rebuilding from a loss t Daniel friggin' Santos and would soon lose to Paul Williams. Yet, Money fought the recognized welterweight champ Baldomir. I know in Pacland, fighting guys coming off loses, rebuilding from loses, and lackluster performances against lesser fighters and avoiding the top fighters in divisions is Earth moving. But, down here on planet Earth, fighting top guys the way to go.

so even after cotto came to WW u think floyd could have not fought him..and even toney the thing is he has not fought them thats it..im not saying he is ducking them its just he has not fought them on record thats it

Ive never commented on Arum and Roach.

But for Arum to say it wouldnt be fair for pac to come down in weight when thats what theyve been doing to their last few opponents is ****ing disgusting. How can he be that moronic? Am i missing something?

Pac came in well under the WW limit against Marg, so why cant they make a deal with JMM for 145lbs?

I hope the fight happens. Pac needs to face a smart boxer, and JMM deserves a final shot.

Great fighters.

Manny is well protected. I'd think he's either concerned for Manny as a friend, trying to milk him as much as possible by protecting him, or both. And really, it isn't like the fighters couldn't say "NO" to them. They agreed, and got beat by Manny. If it was a worthy risk, they got a worthy payday.
Anyways, Juan Marquez may as well agree to 147. Manny seems to come in well under 150, and Marquez weighted how much in his last fight? Simply wouldn't have to gain weight come fight night.

And people who belive PAC is the GOAT r the usually the idiots ..if he great fighter yes but is he the GOAT or come close no..and no amount of fanboyism is gona change that..

Pacquiao kills the mexican in 4 rounds at 147

[iskupaldi]

I Don't know what the problem is? Marquez has been calling out Pacquiao for a fight..So what's wrong with the 147 limit? The last time Pac weighed 147 was when? He fought Margarito @ 144. JMM does not have to come in @ 147, he can come in less than that. He wants Pac, then accept the fight!!! JMM wants to prove that he can beat Pac then heres' your chance!!!

For people saying Manny agreed to the tests for sure during the
2nd neogtiations....

Roach wouldn't say whether Pacquiao would budge on the drug-testing dilemma.

Mayweather has said that every fight he takes, beginning with Mosley, will include Olympic-style blood testing along with the typical urine tests required by most athletic commissions. That means the fighters could have blood drawn in the days leading up to the fight.

Pacquiao believes giving blood makes him weak and refused to do so within 24 days of a fight.

"If Manny Pacquiao can take a blood and urine test then we have a fight," Mayweather said shortly after his victory May 1. "If not, no fight."
