Comments Thread For: Arum Discusses Why Alvarado Missed Out on Pacquiao

[TurboFart]

Why is Alvarado's doctor disclosing private medical information to Bob Arum? Hasn't he heard of HIPAA?

PAC is ducking Alvarado

I know that you are joking .... must be ....

Yup, Manny said I'm scared of Alvarado. I would rather face Marquez and Bradley as my Option #1 and #2 as they are way more easier fights than a guy with hand problems.

I can buy Arum's excuse. Alvarado frequents a popular bar out here in Denver that my wife's uncle owns. He's been telling me for years how Alvarado is infamous for partying and bar fights outside of the ring (hense the multiple scars on his neck & face before his last fight.) He doesn't take his career serious when he isn't training or in the ring. No surprise that he's neglecting his rehab. His own loss. Still plenty of fights ahead though. Hopefully he turns it around.

Because Rios makes for a better clash of styles in terms of excitement and the fight being winnable for Manny///////////////////////

I like toe to toe style cause its an xciting and gud for the fans! Unlike boring fights who got boowd.... I hate boxer-runner, u know what i mean, but thats their style that why theyre not xciting fighters.

Are you a joker man? Seems you are a clown in real life... How the heck pac scared of Alvarado? Mike just got his career saved from the hands of the Pacmonster.

I totally agree with this...I actually believe this to be a solid fight,one that could give us some real fireworks..I really don't know why there is any complaining..

The only ones complaining are some die hard Floyd fans that can't comprehend that Manny's first 2 options were top quality opponents who refused to fight him.

This fight will depend on which Manny shows up. Rios is going to come in bigger so that will be a stronger Rios coming in. Rios has looked like a skeleton at his weigh-ins at the lower weights.

The thing is that Manny has not KOed anyone at WW. If Rios can take Manny's punches well, this fight can be tough for Manny. It can be a tough fight for both and that will not be good for either one of them especially a Manny that was KOed in devastating fashion.

One thing about Rios is that he loves to be in a war. He will NOT back down. This fight has the potential to be FOTY candidate.

Did you even read the post that I responded to? He said that Manny is scared of Alvarado and I said, "you must be joking" THEN my next sentence kind of explains it in a sarcastic way that "Manny is scared of Alvarado because he wanted to fight Marquez and Bradley instead".

Most people would have gotten that but I'm guessing that you just read my post to that poster's response too fast and got confused. No problem.

I'd rather see Rios/Alvarado 3 than this garbage. On a side note, PAC isn't ducking anyone. The last two guys that beat him declined a rematch and Rios is a bigger draw than Alvarado. But it's still a garbage one-sided fight.

Actually it was Pac that declined a Bradley rematch first......Tim just returned the favor to him this last time.

TR better have a great undercard for this event or no De Niro from me.

We've got an amazing fight here and surprise, surprise, the haters do everything possible to piss on it and infect everyone w/ their misery. Funk yall, I'm excited about this and you know damn well it'll be more entertaining than if he fought Alvarado, even if it's not as challenging.
