Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao vs Marquez Will Be at 147 or No Fight

[lilducer22]

Does anybody feel like Cotto should walk right up to Uncle Bob and b!tch slap the holy, hot, monkey piss outta him, on sight?????????? I know I do.

Cotto didn't want the title available for a catch-weight match(fight....Yes, title.......No), but Uncle Bob and the WBO strong armed him into it, but now Uncle Bob says it's ******ed for the WBO champ(Now Manny)to put the title on the line at a catch-weight. IDK if I could stomach an explaination from TopRank for the crawfishin' of their stance on this catch-weight business. They just made me more of a fan of Cotto with this bull****.

lmao at the first paragraph hahahaha

That's what I don't get. After Floyd fought Marquez, I was ragging on him endlessly about taking on a challenge. Specifically, Mosley. When RA the Rugged Man had that interview with Floyd, I sent it to all of my buddies. And there were even threads on here about Floyd being in hiding (sound familiar?) the day he signed to fight Shane lmao. But guess what, folks? He fought him. Most Pac fans just can't look in the mirror and admit to themselves that their savior is flawed.

It's funny that even with Floyd's inactivity ESPN's Dan Rafael still has Floyd number one in the welterweight power rankings.

money and glory. they are prizefighters thats what they do.everybody wants a piece of pac.

so whats the glory if u think PAC is horrible fighter???i dont get it u say PAC is terrible at fighting and is just a bum then why fight him??

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

Are some people making the argument that if the limit is 147 JMM will put on more weight than he should? (Even if Pac is going to weigh 148 no matter what) Wow

Marquez has to train to fight as a welterweight against a welterweight.


When Pacquiao used to rehydrate and enter the ring 140+, his body composition on the night wasn't the same as it is now when he takes to the ring 140+.

The difference is that Pacquiao is naturally bigger than Marquez and can function optimally at weights higher than those at which Marquez can. Manny carries eveything up to these weights and Marquez does not. Even 140 still favors Pacquiao.

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.

You need to think deeper yourself. My dad was running around quite well, playing soccer, in his early to mid 40s. A life-long smoker, does not go to the gym, or eat too smart. Some people have great genes, and have a strong "pulse". Think about this, please. The more intelligence people have, the more intelligent our conversations/arguments can become. Cheers

Ok...that's nice. What's your point? That some people have good genes? Tell me something I don't know. Is it possible that Manny has good genes? Sure. As possible as it is that he's juicing.

the proof is out in the open, no one needs to dig deep. in the last 4yrs as a WW, floyd fought only one legit WW in mosley, and it took years of mosley's **** talking and an earthquake in haiti to make the fight. right up to this point, cotto/tony/clottey/mosley were the top welters, all of them wants a piece of floyd, and floyd was thinking of matthew hatton? LOL

Also the OFFER NEVER CAME TO FLOYD TO FIGHT COTTO. You're sadly mistaken.

The only fighter Floyd has ever ducked is Margarito. Other than that, no one else. He's called out Cotto, Mosley, DLH, Hamed, Tszyu, and many other fighters when Floyd was in his prime. When he wasn't a huge star, no one gave him a chance. No one. Now when Mosley is old and looking for a paycheck that's when he calls Mayweather. It wasn't Mayweather, he hasn't been ducking anyone except for Margarito. Cotto never came with an offer. So stop this nonsense.

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

A lot more history is riding on this fight than when Mayweather used JMM as a tune-up (which is what everyone who follows boxing knew that fight was beforehand - however much Marquez came to fight and win, he was a tune-up opponent for Floyd).


Pacquiao and Marquez have history, and, if there is to be a third fight between the pair, that history, the integrity of the series, needs to be honored.

Therein lies the rub. Pacquiao's ****-suckers can spin it any way they like, but truth is truth.

I think it has been publicly stated that he would undergo testing, if the right people asked for it. If he has bad reactions to having his blood taken, then it would mess with his training. Not 2-3 days like I read/heard(I call BS on that), but maybe a few hours to a day. A few testing days, and it adds up. With him having other duties now, that's asking for a lot of the "little guy". Anyways, I'm out...

You think? Come back when you know for sure what their stance is. Because I "think" that sounds like one of the 4,567 excuses they offered.
