    Manny Pacquiao vs. Rustico Torrecampo (1996)

    After a string of 11 straight wins, Pacquiao was knocked out in the third round by journeyman Torrecampo. Pacquiao failed to make the 106lb limit and was thus, forced to use heavier gloves. That, plus his failed effort to make weight placed a drain on the young Pacquiao's strength.

    These factors, plus what was said to be a lucky punch by his opponent, led to the Pacman's first career loss. Torrecampo, now long retired, did not go on to achieve much in the boxing world inspite of his win over an opponent who would go on to become part of boxing folklore. Moving up in weight after the loss, Pacquiao was not able to avenge his first loss.
    Exactly my point.

    Either guy misses weight, they will and should pay a heavy price, but cut the crap about the fight should be cancelled.

    You damn well both will make weight anyway. I dont see why you waste time coming up with scenarios that would get the fight cancelled. Unless really thats what you hope happens.

      If Floyd don't make weight, Arum should demand that or the fight is off. The ball is then in Floyd's court.

      With Floyd on Memo's gear, he might not make weight.
      I wouldn't put anything past Floyd.

        Maybe when Floyd is getting checked out at the hospital he will have the plan to counteract Pacquiao's offence
        All you guys got is first quarter of the fight. That sucks.

          I can't effing Floyd is cheating for this fight. What a disappointment. His on roids, too much circumstantial evidence evidence to ignore.

          Smh.

              Not saying that Mayweather is or isn't on PEDS but if he is, then wouldn't it make sense that Pac was also on PEDS? All Ariza did was go from one camp to the other....

              For the record I wouldn't put it past either fighter, just find the hypocrisy around here funny.

                  I made it clear for you. Go back and read it again.

                  I said what I said way before the fight was even considered in late 2014. One needs to stay consistent.

Manny is fast but he's a fast flurried fighter that can be timed. Floyd is the best counterpuncher in the game. When manny opens up and throws his flurry floyd will time them place his shots and land cleanly. I have him using his jab a lot more in This fight, even if he's just touching him with it he will use it to set those right hands up. Boxing is levels and manny is great but he's not on Floyds level. Floyd is a student of the sweet science.#msboxingbaby

                    Manny's not on Floyd's level? Hahaha. Okay. Last time I checked, he is the only 8 division champion in the history of boxing. He is an ATG. Floyd is just a mere HOF'mer. Floyd might win but for you to say he's on another level is laughable. We don't know how great Floyd is. The jury is STILL out on him for not challenging himself in the ring. Floyd is a bully and likes to fight guys he has advantages over. On May 2nd, he will be fighting a fighter who is faster than he is. Who is hungrier than he is. Who is more active than he is. Who punches harder than he does. A fighter who isn't easy to hit himself. Based on what is Floyd on another level than the great Manny Pacquiao? That was funny. Floyd is a great fighter but he is overrated. I cannot wait to see his face after 12 HARD rounds with MP.

                      Have you backed Floyd or is your talk cheap on here?
