Did manny duck joan guzman?

[Khalid X]

Pacquiao didn't duck Guzman, but keep telling yourselves that....whatever makes you guys happy.

[ronnie_N.]

so where is joan guzman now?... nate campbell?...

[ADP02]

the david diaz fight was a ****ty fight for manny, ppl acuse floyd of fighting baldomir over margarito and of fighting hatton over cotto but pac fighting david diaz over campbell or casamyor was just as bad.

I don't see it that way. People are picking Manny on not fighting Raheem because he beat Morales .... which was dumb if one knows the facts .... but Diaz beat Morales too ....

So fighting a 135 champ who just beat Morales and it being Manny's FIRST fight at that weight and beating him the way he did was pretty decent. He could have fought others after that once he saw how well he did against Diaz BUT Oscar called him up to fight at 147 .... so those other fights never happened.

Instead, Floyd has been at 147 forever but never fought some of those guys you mentioned for whatever reason it is ..... kind of different, if you ask me .... Manny was at 135 for 1 fight only!

Before all the weight problems and drug use? Did manny duck this very fast slick counter puncher?

Never put the BUMS name Guzman in the same sentence with Pacman.. Guzman was a bum, where is he today? I rest my case..

[Bombs]

NOBODIES, not even their families care about them. They contribute nothing to anyone's career or life.

[Teri]

this has got to be a ****in joke right? TS is accusing Pac of ducking Guzman??? This website needs to stop members with red k from making threads for reals

Read if you know how it say's did he duck him? meaning I asked a question

[shadeyfizzle]

No it was not necessary at all. He wasn't force into anything. You act like JMM wouldn't have fought him if he wasn't his mandatory...GTFOH. That rematch was totally unecessary plus Guzman also had a title. He could had fought Guzman and then unify with JMM in the next fight. But, no, he chose to fight a way past prime fighter that was coming off a loss instead of an undefeated highly ranked title holder.



Lol @ Pac ducking Cotto.

War unnecessary rematches

Oh cmon man. It was completely necessary and it had nothing to do with whether or not marquez would fight him. It had to do with barrera at the time being just as deserving as pac at a shot at marquez. Barrera had just lost a very competitive fight that he wouldve won if the knockdown he scored had counted. Although barrera was past his best he was still very much considered elite and still ranked 5th p4p by ring magazine at the time of the pac rematch. Guzman at best was very promising yet largely irrelevant at the time. Especially with his ko% becoming almost non existant after moving up from 126.

Bob Arum felt Guzman was boring vs soto.even tho he said the winner gets pac.and even the commentators were talking about the 2 bding matched up.all in all it was a duck by arum and tesm pac.roach said Guzmans style is very difficult and tricky.funny cuz bradley has a similar style and he can pull it off.So props to manny for finally taking on a slick boxer

[{Pito}]

TS, I know Guzman personally what drug use are you talking about? The diuretics he took or drugs like coke and the like? Because if it's the latter, don't talk smack and speculate. Joan's problem has always been food. Even at gleason's everybody knows his vices would be lots of food and lots of playstation.

[sammiza567]

wtf guzman? screw him. pac did ducked campbell though. even casamyaor would have been better than diaz but nate campbell was the fight.
