Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Rips Pacquiao vs Marquez Trilogy Deal

[Stl_Buay]

I DONT THINK ITS PAC HES NOT EDUCATED ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND ARUM IS SUCKING HIM DRY AND GIVING THE FANS THESE BULL**** FIGHTS THAT WILL MAKE PAC A SO CALL LEGEND pac will be remembered for his battles at 135 where he was good now he just fights ppls left overs

Funny, too bad nobody from Mike Tyson to Sugar Ray Leonard to Emanuel Stewart to Burt Sugar to Larry Merchant to Evander Holyfield to Bernard Hopkins to 99% of boxing writers agree with you... The only people that agree with you are De La Hoya, The Mayweather's, and *****s AKA Pac-Haters...

If anybody is not undefeated they are somebody's left overs. WOW Rahman should have not gotten credit for beating Lennox Lewis because he was Oliver McCall's lerftover???? LOL Martinez beat Pavlik and Williams but they were Hopkins and Quitana leftovers... Pac-Haters are funny!!!!

What? As opposed to you? You are just a flag-waving fanboy who knows absolutely nothing about boxing, and you would likely p1ss yourself if you ever got into a real fight. It is amusing to hear you accuse others of having no boxing knowledge.

Look who's hereeee !! Floyd's a$$ l!cker !! How you doing !!
Criticize Pacquiao in all ways don't make you a boxing expert. You're the last person on earth who can be asked about boxing.

Pacquiao/Marquez trilogy can only happen thru the blessing of Father Bob Arum. Oskie does not have any say on this because until today Oskie does not have the courage of looking at the Pacman eye to eye after the beating he got in front of the whole world. The only mistake in the offer is the timing. Manny Pacquiao is fighting the great Sugar Shane Mosley just almost a week from today. Juan Manuel Marquez is not even belong to the level of this fighters, then who will have the interest of watching the fight between Pacquiao/Marquez if it ever happens.

another easy win for pac because they are making marquez fight at welterweight. pac came in for the cheato fight at 144. but jmm has to come in at 147.he's scared of what marquez can do so he is weight gaining jmm.no way jmm performs well at that weight.

marquez DOES NOT have to come in at 147.

he can come in at 141 if he wants to. you do realize that the fighting weight would be 147 AND BELOW.

just like Pac who agreed to fight margarito at 150 BUT came in at 144 at weigh-in since he felt he would fare better fighting AT A LOWER WEIGHT.

at least he's guaranteed that Pac WON'T CHEAT AT THE SCALES.

Do not waste your energy with those guys.....!! Believe me...not worth !!

Scumbag Arum just needs to scrap this fight. Too many butt hurt people making this fight happen. I'd like to see more of Marquez. If this fight happens, he might retire for good.

OK then, Marquez will be Manny's 8th consecutive opponent that was at a serious disadvantage.

Manny Pacquiao's last 7 opponents.....

Lately, a number of observers have commented that all of Manny Pacquiao's recent opponents have either been old, faded, or inept. Let's take a closer look at 27%'s recent fights, and see if there is any truth to that allegation.....

Accusations leveled at Pacquiao include.....

* Manny will not fight a skilled boxer
* Manny will not fight a skilled counter-puncher
* Manny will not fight anybody who is in their prime
* Manny will not fight anybody who is on top of their game
* Manny will not fight anybody who is coming off a win
* Manny will not fight anybody without a distinct advantage

Let's apply that criteria to Manny's last 7 opponents, and see how they stack up.

====================================

David Diaz - Not a top fighter, faded, disadvantaged.....
* Manny will not fight a skilled boxer
* Manny will not fight a skilled counter-puncher
* Manny will not fight anybody who is in their prime
* Manny will not fight anybody who is on top of their game
* Manny will not fight anybody without a distinct advantage

Oscar De La Hoya - Shot, drained, and shrink-wrapped.....
* Manny will not fight anybody who is in their prime
* Manny will not fight anybody who is on top of their game
* Manny will not fight anybody who is coming off a win
* Manny will not fight anybody without a distinct advantage

Ricky Hatton - Not a top fighter, faded, and disadvantaged.....
* Manny will not fight a skilled boxer
* Manny will not fight a skilled counter-puncher
* Manny will not fight anybody who is in their prime
* Manny will not fight anybody who is on top of their game
* Manny will not fight anybody without a distinct advantage

Miguel Angel Cotto - Badly faded / shopworn, and disadvantaged.....
* Manny will not fight anybody who is in their prime
* Manny will not fight anybody who is on top of their game
* Manny will not fight anybody who is coming off a win
* Manny will not fight anybody without a distinct advantage

Joshua Clottey - Not a top fighter, and strangely innocuous.....
* Manny will not fight a skilled boxer
* Manny will not fight a skilled counter-puncher
* Manny will not fight anybody who is on top of their game
* Manny will not fight anybody without a distinct advantage

Antonio Margarito - Not a top fighter, faded, disadvantaged.....
* Manny will not fight a skilled boxer
* Manny will not fight a skilled counter-puncher
* Manny will not fight anybody who is in their prime
* Manny will not fight anybody who is on top of their game
* Manny will not fight anybody who is coming off a win
* Manny will not fight anybody without a distinct advantage

Shane Mosley - Faded, shopworn, and disadvantaged.....
* Manny will not fight anybody who is in their prime
* Manny will not fight anybody who is on top of their game
* Manny will not fight anybody who is coming off a win
* Manny will not fight anybody without a distinct advantage

====================================

All-in-all, that is a damn shabby line-up for a supposed P4P fighter, especially when you consider all of the advantages afforded to Manny during those fights..... e.g. fighting for a vacant JMW title, at catch-weight, against a BUM, and using 8oz gloves

Now, I can understand a top fighter taking the odd bout against a lesser opponent.....
but EVERY opponent in your last 7 fights?

How fkn lame is that ?

The last time Pac fought a live dog was Marquez II, and according to a significant number of trainers/fighters/journalists/analysts..... HE LOST!!

SUMMARY: There is no question that Manny is a manufactured fighter, with a padded resume'..... quite simply, just more Top Rank smoke and mirrors. Pac is the "****e Girls" of boxing.

YOU MAD?

"However, this fight only makes sense to me if it takes place at junior welterweight (and I would hope Marquez would weigh-in under 140 pounds). Why Pacquiao and company refuse to even consider fighting Marquez at 140 pounds (instead of the 144 or 147 they stipulate) is a very good question. The answer is obvious: they want every conceivable advantage against their aging but still-dangerous nemesis"

That's not what Marquez's own trainer says. Read and weep:

"Marquez's trainer Nacho Beristain is not concerned with a possible welterweight limit. He stated in a recent interview that Pacquiao always weigh in well below the limit of 147 and the two boxers would be around the same weight on the day of the fight." LINK
