    Pacquiao.......Needs to Step It Up!

    Hey, I'm a fan of Manny Pacquiao. I think he's accomplished A LOT as a professional boxer. But I have to say, even as a fan, he's gotta' step up his level of competition after the Mosley fight. Enough of these easy paydays PAC! Fight someone who can give you a fight! Otherwise, I'm seriously going to start considering Sergio Martinez as #1 p4p, even above Floyd! (And I'm a huge Floyd fan as well.) Sergio has been taking tough fights, and is continuing to do so against Serhiy Dzinziruk. If Manny doesn't step his game up soon, I think he might consider a full-time political career. He's certainly not striving for the best in boxing. Fighting the likes of Clottey, Margarito, and now Mosley..........come on. I'll give him three easy fights simply because he's had so many tough fights before this, but after the Mosley fight.........he's gotta' step it up. Do you guys agree, or disagree?

    Is fighting a margarito 18lbs bigger easy? Pac can hardly move for a full week after that fight.

      Easy? Well..........seeing the fight, I would say yes. Manny certainly made it look easy. And Margarito was done for all intents and purposes after the Mosley fight. Mosley RUINED him. He certainly wasn't a dangerous opponent, that's for sure. Not taking anything away from the win. Manny beat a MUCH bigger man. But he beat a much bigger, less talented man. And anyone who follows boxing knew that would happen.

        Manny Facquiao is being spoon fed easy opponents by arum that only have a punchers chance; he won't fight Martinez because he's too good and Mayweather because they can't get a fight together.

          He COULD fight Mayweather, but he'd have to agree to random OST. And we all know that's not going to happen. Why not fight someone else relevant @147lbs?

              Berto, Alvarez,..............Heck fight anyone @140lbs. Maidana, Bradley, Alexander, Kahn (even though that isn't likely.)

                I used to be a fan of Pac but once he started to take easy fights such as Cotto, Clottey, Margarito,,,,,people that only outweighed him by 12-20 pounds, I started to realize he was a real b1tch....


                He is definitely ducking Dawson, Haye and evan Vlad..... Why make Cotto lose 1 pound less than his last weigh in??? Why not do like every great fighter today and get outweighed by 30-40 pounds and see if he has skills??


                Pac is such a punk...

                  Excuses, excuses. People knew what would happen because people rate Pac so highly. If Margarito fought Sergio martinez we wouldnt know what would happen would we? Margarito might get a late stoppage against Sergio, or lose on points.
                  Not really sure. Margarito has never been a warm up or not a challenge for anyone hes ever faced, apart from Pac it seems.

                  Well Pac is thanking you for your unintentional compliment just like he did for the Pac is on roids compliment. Pacs that good is he that you think he is on roids.

                    The often-repeated argument which has already been answered in many threads here...except that these haters wouldn't believe that Pacquiao has already said he was willing if only to lure Floyd to fight him.

                    Similar posters would always go back to that first round of negotiation which has already been answered in the second round of negotiation to which Team Floyd never commented even if Greenburg confirmed that it happened.

                    Bottomline: 1. You can't argue with anyone aldready filled with prejudice/bias
                    on this issue.
                    2. Posting this kind of thread only confirms that the TS doesn't
                    read similar threads and posts here.
