    Why was Yuri Foreman "too tall" for Pacquiao?

    First of all in all likely hood Pacquiao beats Foreman, but why was Foreman "too tall"? Was Foreman really too tall or was it because he actually boxes and isn't a punching bag? Foreman and Margarito are both 5'11, I guess Margarito was just tall enough

      Question is why won't Floyd take on Sergio Martinez? What do you think is the reason?

            A fight between these two when it was mentioned would have looked like the Pac vs Mosley fight. However, Foreman would have countered Pac because he can at least pull the trigger.

              I don't know, why don't you ask Floyd? To my knowledge Floyd isn't fighting anybody any time soon. I would love to see Floyd fight Martinez. But back to the topic, was Foreman really "too tall" for Pacquiao?

                    Because Foreman was too much of a mystery. Tall slipperry mover with quick hands, could have been riskier than he appeared.
