If Bayless DOES immediately breakem up, they will say Bayless isnt allowing Pac to work. So as you all know, it doesnt matter either way..."may the best man win" doesnt exist in thisforum.

Excuses excuses excuses, let's get real here Pacquiao ain't no inside fighter if anything it would be an advantage to pac's style coz if they were to fight on the inside Pacquiao would get murdered with body shots & uppercuts

[thabanga510]

Pacquiao not even an inside fighter nothing to break up.
