PACQUIAO'S Plans: Which Slick, Black Fighter Should MANNY Fight Next?

[Doctor_Tenma]

I will say think

Pac is just as slick if not more so than Devon Alexander is.

Nothing to think about, Alexander isn't slick AT ALL.

Did manny take Cotto on at his best?
Did manny take Oscar on at his best?
Did manny take Margarito on at his best?
Is manny asking for marquez at his best (at 147?)

So you want Manny to take on Bradley even though he will be 2 months removed from his fight with Alexander?

To answer your questions though;

Cotto-he looked fine to me. Cotto said he was fine etc...even after the fight when boxers make up every excuse in the world as to why they lost.

Oscar-No oscar wasn't at his best but that wasn't Pacquiao fault. Manny did what he had to do and Oscar's the idiot who was eating kangaroo meat and tryiing to come in lighter than Manny to prove a point

Margarito-Again, nothing wrong with Margarito. Yes he lost to Mosley....but so what? It's boxing and it happens.

With Marquez....This has been discussed several times but come fight night Manny will be 148 and Marquez 145 no matter what weight they fight at. It could be 147, 140, and even 135.....they will be those weights on fight night no matter what.

First of all Oscar is a hypocrite so fuck him on what he feels Shane true colors is.

I mean what is Shane true colors? That he wants to get paid? The hell you say...I mean is not like fighters fight for free. So of course they want to get paid...

Personally I think GBP did right by Shane this year, did they do right by him after Margarito? Nah I thought they went with other priorities....But, in this year they did right by him. Should of Shane been more loyal? Probably, but at the same time should he not go and try to get a big money fight? Why not he is a fighter.

Why is GBP not letting Shane go at it as a free agent. But, at the same time they were willing to discuss JMM going at it as a free agent but not Shane? WTF is up with that?

To me is not about Shane true colors is about GBP and Oscar true colors. Of how hypocritical they're.

Bro, Shane is in violation of both the spirit and letter of his partnership agreement.

And GBP did right by Shane UP TO margarito also. They got shane prime Vegas dates on HBO (Collazo), and big Socal dates (Mayorga, Margarito). Also on HBO.


It was the cool commercial response that presented Shane with limited options post-Rito.

Don't forget that there was also a Shane-Judah match that Shane missed through no fault of GBP. That promotion was done. Then Shane turned down Williams, and the Berto fight was also no fault of GBP.


I respectfully disagree with the blame being attributed to GBP in this instance.

I know,

I remember when posters tried to make him out to be a slick fighter after the Urango fight. But, after the Kotelnik fight they jumped out of that bandwagon.

.

What is it with you and this "2 MONTHS" thing? Why are you so bought into Arum's dates?

There are other dates on the calendar, ya know.

[Khalid X]

Ok...AND?

Why can't they do that?

On jan 24th, Floyd has his court date. On Jan 29th, Bradley and Alexander fight each other.

Won't we all know SO much more on Jan 30th?

Mayweather-Mosley was done in February, and they fought in May. With a 24/7 and a pretty decent promotion...right?

Manny has congressional duties so they will have to work around that until the day Manny retires from the sport.

Timing just isn't right. I mean would you want Timmy to go through back to back training camps by taking a fight 2 months after his win over Alexander?

I don't and I honestly believe Timmy would give Manny the hardest time out of any of those fighter around that weight class.

If Manny doesn't take him on at his best.....then what's the point?

Good thing is Manny is gonna fight for 2-3 more years and with the way Timmy is winning and looking impressive....this fight will happen...and yeah it will be classic.

Agree with this whole post...

Most fans think "black" and "slick" are synonyms. Or "fast" and "slick" are synonymous.

I feel like sending them DVD's of Whitaker, Macho and Malignaggi.

...and even paulie likes to brawl way too much.

The only slick black fighter right now around his weight class is Floyd Mayweather.

Last time I checked Manny as tried to face him.....so what more do you want?

Theres a pretty slick fighter around his weightclass ( hes a titleholder at 154 after all, remember?). Albeit hes not black, but he will do. Guess who?

Agree with this whole post...

you can only agree if you think that April is the only date on the calendar.
