Comments Thread For: Merchant Likes The Idea of Pacquiao vs. Provodnikov

[ADP02]

won't happen. pacquiao will duck him. those sparring sessions were brutal. and that was before marquez cracked pacquiao's chin.

A Floyd fan calling Manny a ducker ..... this is some funny stuff.

Just to remind you, Manny had requested to avenge his losses against Morales, Bradley and Marquez. Yes, even after getting KOed the way he did, it wasn't him but it was his opponent that was reluctant to fight him!

its not floyds fault that provod was getting the best of pacquiao in the sparring sessions.

[flint]

Do you mean, don't match him with flint's Floyd? PACMAN will kill this Siberian Rocky with hard punches!

not according to what happend in the sparring sessions.

PUT HIM AGAINST MARQUEZ

that would be a great fight.

[flint]

Manny would absolute destroy Ruslan. Just too much speed and way better skill set. I think it would be a better fight than the rios one though. I wanna see Manny take care of Bradley first before any other fight.

provod was getting the best of pac in sparring according to roach.

Floyd's ducking Spadafora.

Sparring?

Please do the following steps:
1) Go to any thread where the topic was "I've heard of Floyd having difficulties with sparring ...."
2) Copy any response from a Floyd fan including yourself
3) Paste the response here

I'm sure you would be "pasting" this:
"It's only sparring"

Until I saw Manny's name, I thought you were talking about Floyd:

# of WW fights before fighting Floyd:
- Marquez = 0
- Ortiz = 1
- Guerrero = 2 (1 of his opponents has been fighting at JWW)
- Sharmba = 1
- Hatton = 1

Next opponent? Khan and other JWWs have been rumored to be Floyd's next opponent.

When Floyd moved up to 147 he fought
Mitchell- Welter
Judah- IBF Welter Champ
Baldomir- WBC Welter Champ
Mosley- WBA Super Welter Champ
Ortiz- WBC Welter Champ
Guerrero- Interim Welter Champ

You're an idiot.

Sorry but you need to look in the mirror for a second. Floyd's formula is easy to recognize unless your name is "J The UnBiased"

- Mitchel is/was not a WW. Check out his record there ..... (1 fight before Floyd)
- Hatton is/was not a WW. Poor performance at WW.... (1 fight before Floyd)
- Marquez was not a WW and had just moved up from 130 to 135 when he fought Floyd at WW
- Guerrero, just like Marquez was fighting several divisions below WW. He beat 1 guy that is CURRENTLY fighting at JWW and another guy that keeps on losing to WWs.
- Ortiz moved up from 140 where he quit against Maidana and drew against Peterson then was knocked down TWICE by Berto and for you, that was enough?

Just like some of the above guys, Khan has been pushed and ranked at WW without doing anything. So the formula is beat 1 named fighter who they believe is achievable and sell Khan as a ranked fighter or even better (eg. Guerrero/Ortiz) as a champ.

Those are the fighters that I mentioned but the remaining few were, for the most part, carefully selected fighters too .... even though on the surface, you may not be knowledgeable enough to realize it.


So again, if your name is "Unbiased" then you should be at the very least agreeing with me that some or most of Floyd's opponents at WW in that they were not career WWs and had just wet their feet there.

Again, those that I mentioned had either 0 or 1 fight at WW. The only guy that had 2, had fought 1 guy that went back down to JWW and the other is a Berto that everyone is beating. Most people would not be fooled by that win after being fooled into believing that it was enough for Ortiz ..... but maybe that is just me.
