    Why didn't Manny fight Yuri Foreman?

    I know they say he was too big, but its hard for me to see Foreman (with a bum knee) beating a roided up Manny at that time.
    IMO uncle Bob couldn't do that to his ***ish brother, send him in with Manny knowing he'd be beaten like a wounded dog.
    Also IMO, Bob thought Yuri would beat Cotton, he was looking to hype Yuri and sell the whole ***ish thing... But Cotton spoiled that idea, by the way WHERE THE HELL IS YURI?

    He said that Yuri was to big, but the real reason was that Yuri's uncle Bob didn't want his protege to get assaulted by his juiced-up money making slave.

      Because Foreman moved well. He bounced around the ring. I think he would have beat Pacman. Who some are now saying could beat Martinez at a full 154. Even though he chose early 2012 version of Cotto, but refused to fight him over a mannyweight of 148, how weird is that??

He couldn't even beat a lightweight at a mannyweight of 144. But he'll beat Martinez at 154, even though he refused to fight Cotto over a mannyweight of 148, laugh at that too.

              I never said he would beat Martinez, just laughing at the ******ity of saying Foreman would beat Pacquiao. Did you see how he dealt with Cotto and Wolak?

              Get off the 'Omg Pac = hypejob! Anyone who's not pactard knows he'd lose to anyone who can move a little. Catchweight wawawa!' bandwagon. He's leagues above Foreman

                Because nobody wanted to see Pac fight him after beating a guy like Cotto

                Foreman was being saved for Cotto as a return title fight after taking a beating. I remember how a lot of posters were saying Arum was sacrificing Cotto to Foreman

                Im sorry but if you ever think Foreman wouldnt catch a horrific beat down by pac, you are mentally ******ed

                    Why would you always want to see a small guy fighting a big guy?
