Comments Thread For: Roach Adds Peterson For Pacquiao as Floyd Jr. Cools Off

Fight

There is no point in Manny facing Cotto for a rematch, he clearly bit him up in the first fight. Since Mayweather is now busy picking up soaps in jail probably the most intersting fight would be against JM Marquez, but like Marquez said not in Vegas, better in Mexico City or other place.

not a bad idea imo. a body puncher like peterson would be tough for pac. pac has been knocked out by body punches in his early career and peterson knows how to get inside to deliver them.

The WELTERWEIGHT Ortiz that had just beat Berto was a MUCH better opponent than Lamont, but Pac wouldn't fight him because he said that Ortiz was "too green".

Ortiz was ranked the #3 welter, Pac had never fought a welter ranked that high.

Ortiz gave Pac fits in sparring, Freddie said it was "the best sparring ever".

Ortiz beat a guy who was named on Pacquiao's own shortlist.

Pacquiao is the result of masterful match-making and a marketing campaign that rivals the **** propaganda machine of the late 30's.

He has CLEARLY been tip-toeing through the tulips since Marquez in 2008.

Arum always said that May 5th was too soon, Manny's cut needed longer to heal, remember?

So why dont they wait until June/July and fight Mayweather like Arum originally "wanted"?

Pac dodged a bullet, again.

Yet again, there is a ready-made excuse for Pacquiao to extort more money out of his pig-ignorant fanbase.

If Pacquiao really wanted to fight Floyd, he would have dropped the defamation lawsuit a long time ago. And now seeing that Floyd has all these legal matters, he is still no willing to drop the "HE SAID, SHE SAID" bull**** lawsuit. I think Arum's got Pacquiao by the nut sack.

As long as Pacman fights someone without movement, he'll be fine

[Reloaded]

Are you ****ing kidding me? You expect investors, promoters and everyone else involved in making this fight happen will be will to throw down millions of dollars over YOUR ASSUMPTION that Floyd will be out and ready in time?

There is no way this fight can happen in the first half of 2012 and unlike Floyd, Pac actually fights twice a year.

Yea, I'm the one wearing blinders.

Dont you think if Floyd said ok he will be ready that its an assumption , lol , the point is the fight can still be made and they need to investigate the situation , what is 60 days , Pac lost 30 days saying he wants his birthday bash , for christ sake 60 days is nothing but another excuse for Pac to run off cherry picking , they dropped the May fight like a hot scone which is what they wanted all along ,,,

THEY DONT WANT PAC IN THE RING WITH FLOYD , get it through your head .

Arum stated that May was too soon..... cut needs to heal, blah, blah.....

They could easily fight in July.

Pacquiao dodged a bullet..... again.

I wont be buying this crap (ppv) or any of the hype top rank tries to build for this fight. Im about to stop watching TR promoted events all together unless they get their shyt together and make fights fans wanna see.

I wonder how Amir Khan feels about this.
