Comments Thread For: Arum: Mike Jones Going on Pacquiao's List For 2012

[Doctor_Tenma]

Make Bradley-Jones for the fall (Pac-Marquez undercard perhaps, use the CBS coverage to expose both guys, especially Tim, to the public) and the winner gets Pac in the Spring. Whoever wins (Bradley) can even take an interim fight against one of the Euro WW champions, take their belt, and set up a unification bout against Manny.

Problem solved.

Even though the size of Jones may cause some problems, Bradley takes that, I have no doubt in my mind Timothy wins that clearly. Mike Jons has no footwork, no inside game.

quality young opponent finally

it took Floyd to do it 1st though



ranked #5-6 hes legit

those are the ones to watch...the ones hungry for some spotlight

the BIG names are cherry pickers as you will notice

24-0 pacquiao needs to fight some young undefeated fighters for a change

Mike Jones isn't quality, he's got talent but has serious technical flaws. Hopefully he's much more improved by 2012.

So according to your logic..marquez lost a UD to floyd so he is overhyped and doesnt match Manny?

marquez was an overhyped fighter going on his first fight at WW....he didn't carry his weight well on the higher weight.....I think Pacman will destroy Marquez this time....Pacman continues to improve while Marquez is on decline (after their last fight where Pacman was then a one dimensional and weight-deained)even at his best weight at LW....

Lmao at this ****

Whatever... mainly bothered by them already lining up names. Zero real effort in making the Mayweather fight.

^^^^This^^^^

Arum continuing to plan out opponents for Manny long before he's even fought his current fight, with no mention of making ANY effort to negotiate a fight with Mayweather. And if he does mention Mayweather it's always as a side note and paraphrased after a list of other names. Ex: The list for Pacquiaos next potential opponents is....... (if Pac/Mayweather can't be made). Well, of course it can't be made Bob. How can it be if your constantly planning out (or bribing someone over to TR) Mannys next few fights before his current fight has been fought??? It's so transparent Bob. And saying "Floyd knows our #" doesn't count as trying to make a fight BTW. I truly believe it is BOB ARUMS fault the Pac/Mayweather fight hasn't happened and probably never will. At this rate, Bob has already got Pac promised out to Bradley and now possibly Jones and Cintron. He doesn't really want it, if he ever does it will be the day he is announced to be on his death bed with only months to live (I know many people would be ok with that, but I don't wish ill for anyone). Everyone knows if Bob Arum wanted this fight to happen, it would have already been in the history books and possibly going on a trilogy by now.

IF, and I say it emphatically - IF the Pac/Mayweather fight ever DOES happen, it won't be until Pacquiaos last fight. Arum can't go backwards and he knows it. I mean, how do you go from fighting the biggest fight of the last few decades and then go BACK to fighting anybody else? You don't, it's that simple.

Arum is a snake ass dude...I swear, his slivering has gotta stop!!!!...Mike is a big ass WW with a mean right hand and he can slip and slide when needed...he's well schooled and will only get better....my math says aint no ****in way in the world Arum puts Manny in there with the young hungry Philly bull...naw son!!!...Arum is just being Arum...a liar, a snake and a con artist...crooked ass oldman been playing hoe games for a while now....he's the reason why Manny hasn't shared the ring with Floyd yet...but he can gas the public and pull a few strings and those media puppets start saying things and writing **** that isn't true....ESPN called Floyd a coward...a dude who has NEVER stepped a foot in the ring called a dude who's walked into the ring and and risked his health over 42 times as a pro and many times as a amature...and not to mention the hard work dude had to put in in the gym to get to where he is today....that right there should've told cats that something wasn't right...but naw, dudes rode the wave that they gave them to ride without being able connect the dots themselves....Arum thinks the ppl who buy his product is so ****in lame that its a shame....book smarts are only good if you playing by the book...street smarts is what you need to peep this scam that Arum and his TR goons are running on poor hard working ppl who live through their idol and countryman....dudes might think I'm dissin, but I'm being super ultra real lol....I hate it when rich ppl get richer by stepping on the pockets of the not so fortunate....that **** aint right..smh

[Chups]

This is impossible. First, Mike Jones is too tall......secondly he's African American. Arum is just bluffing.

Like I told you before...

Pacquiao greatest duck move of all....Tim Bradley.

A light punching,young black fighter, who they will market as being the next Mayweather. The thing is, he is no where near the level of Mayweather, and he won't ask for the tests. Once Manny ****s him, all of his fans will act like he would have did the same to Floyd. I believe Manny retires never fighting Floyd imo.

I hope I'm wrong.
