Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: If I Do Well, I Could Easily Be at 140 Next

[luisivich]

Danny Garcia is moving up to 147 next year. How is he going to fight Manny there. Peterson , Matthyse, and Broner will be back at 147. Manny just ducked an entire weight class.

garcia would be staying at 140 to hand pacquiao the lineal 140 title. that lineal title will gain garcia some leverage for bigger paycheck.
Matthysse and broner who!
the hottest welter beside floyd and pac is maidana when he beat broner.
and still maidana is 12:1 underdog in the first floyd fight. only floyds fans would say that the welterweight division is loaded with dangerous contender today.
if maidana is 12:1 underdog, just imagine if it is matthyse or broner againts floyd- can we say 18:1 underdog?

Ooooh look Manny said he is after Floyd and is now saying that he wants to fight at 140 next, this has never happened before hehe

Floyds a coward yoo he ducking yoo Manny the great warrior

floyd fights at 154 too and no one is having this silly premise that he is avoiding 147 lbs manny.
manny can also hold 2 divisional at the same time too.

if the premise is not applicable too floyd why is it applicaple to pacquiao?

Doe, those clowns don't even fight each other, and they're within their own backyard. Which means they can fight each other if their father Haymon wants them to. Haymon fighters are the biggest jokes in boxing today. They'll be happy to be given Salsas.

I hope he hasn't overtrained, guys at his age and stage in their career have to train smart, obviously Roach would know this.

Yeah but the chances of him fighting either Lucas or Broner are very unlikely. He has a better chance of fighting Danny Garcia than Pacquiao does. And his other options are better. You see it in the #'s so I don't know how you can say otherwise. As much as some of you want to scream, the leverage is all on one side. Arum wouldn't even accept 50-50 so I doubt he's even interested in negotiating this time. It's been five years. Maybe we should take a hint.

Not cotto, that was a catchweight bud

pacquiao is superfeather 4 fights before the cotto fight.
lightweight 3 fights before the cotto fight
light welter 1 fight before the cotto fight.

cotto weight in 146 againts clottey 1 fight before the pac fight
cotto weight in 145 againts pac

prior to pac-cotto fight:
pacquiao is his last 4 fight fought from 130-147
cotto in his last 4 fight fought at 145-147

and you cannot forgive pacquiao for a mere 2 lbs.
if you are bias, you wont have the proper perspective.

This is what I come back too ....... Floyd fans are all over the place on this one.

Floyd fans can't talk until their hero gets serious about fighting Manny or some other relatively risky opponent. Floyd was cherry picking either Khan or Maidana. That cherry pick was done right out in the open!!!

Last year Manny called out the top WWs: Floyd, Marquez and Bradley. They all said no.
This year one said yes and guess what? They fought. The other 2 are still in hiding!

about pac-floyd:
espinoza offered arum 40m+ 35 upside. that is maybe 65/35. that is 3 months ago. i think 58/42 is fair. its getting nearer.

about floyd-garcia
garcia prefer manny rather than floyd. arum can offer the bigger paycheck. and besides garcia want an opponent that engages him in a fight- that he could somehow catch with his hook. garcia also knows that manny can be knockout.

Garcia is going to 147 next year. Peterson was the only fight he was waiting for at 140 but Peterson is also moving up to 147. Lucas also said he is because he. Couldn't get a rematch with Danny.

I garauntee Manny is not fighting any of those guys. He will fight Jesse Vargas or Terrence Crawford. I would not be surprised if it was Mike Alvarado.
