Pacquiao sparring with Juan Lazcano

[grayfist]

Oct.~Nov. 2006 - Morales 3

Feb.~Mar. 2007 - Barrera 2

Jun.~Jul. 2007 - Juarez

Sep.~Oct. 2007 - Barrios

Dec. 2007 - Marquez 2




whoa! you got it all figured out bro, it's a boxing fan's dream fights (you should be a promoter ), but unlikely to happen. Pac will burn himself out with this kinda fight sched IMO. everything else hangs in the balance of the outcome of the 3rd Morales fight, it's the crucible...til then it's all just wishful thinking.

Arum, King and company have a lock on the business, pal! No place left for upstarts like me. Thanks just the same.

That schedule is tough to keep, I agree. Perhaps also, the fights may prove to be difficult to make (though, right now, I don't see why it should be as both Barrios and Juarez do not look like they'll pass up any chance to face Pacquiao).

But I don't think it shall burn Pac out. The guy has energy to stay late to film TV ads, stride the billiards table, bring the family to a shopping spree in Hongkong and Tokyo, lift a bottle of San Mig, sign autographs, visit soldiers, etc. etc. Then get to prepare for Larios. I know he had to be hospitalized a while because of the social whirl. But, if he goes easy on those side commitments, I think he can handle the fight schedule stated. I am not saying he should forget those other commitments; he must indeed keep some of them. Those can help him chill between fights, and thus help avoid early burn-out. It's just time management, buddy.

Anyway, depending on the results of fights preceding, the schedule can be laid away, thus, three fights a year instead of four... or two fights then a third straddling two years, etc., etc. The time frame can be *******ly adjusted.

Good to see ya!

lol , that chicken **** Marquez wont fight Manny again.

Yeah. That may prove to be an issue.

and i agree with you bro. grayfist that line-up of fights you mentioned is good and very compatible with PAC's plan to retire at the age of 30 ...

dream fights, nightmare for pac's health

30 or 32,33, pal. The schedule can be stretched: say, MAB, Juarez for 07 then Barrios, JMM 08, two unification bouts 09. Two huge fights in a year: that's pretty much under Pac's pace/norm in the past two to three years. Remember that he fought Lucero, Barrera and Marquez in succession over a period of less than 10 months. Two pound-for-pound guys and one undefeated prospect. This year, if Morales III comes about, Pac shall have racked up three fights, two megas (Morales II was in January this year and MOrales III before year's end) and one more that cannot be called a tune-up, what with Pac facing a Larios.

Come to think of it. In 07, Pac can begin sometime in March with MAB, take JMM at mid-year (IF that can be made) then Juarez sometime November-December. Barrios can be for 08. If he beats both MAB and Barrios, he'll have half the main belts that's there to be had and after two more victories (Mosquera? etc?) can be called undisputed.

Sorry to disagree, buddy. That's just a little ratcheting up of what Pac had done when he successively met Lucero, Barrera and JMM in a period of less than 10 months.

It seems to me that Pac's body can suffer a bit more outside the ring than in it. Example: I have never heard of him having been hospitalized after a fight. He was recently as a result of a frenetic social whirl.

well actually thats the issue in manila after the morales fight, its when will pac hang the gloves. true, pac hasnt been hurt for so many years now, but having to come from straweight to SFW is a long way. JMM MAB and EM fights all went the distance and it may not be noticeable yet, but we'd rather see him retire in good health rather than suffer any long term damage. he has enough money to feed 3 generations in his family, i think thats enough.

btw, pareng grayfist, where are you now?

[Bozo_no no]

Anyone have this video?

Health is always a concern, pal.

He was 17 when he was a straweight. In the Dele Disierto fight I think he was already at fly. When he was KOd by Torrecampo, he had to wear the bigger gloves because he came in above the weight limit. Torrecampo was in trouble in the first and second but survived because Pac's punches had lesser effect.

It's to early to speak of retirement for Pac. The guy is at his peak. The more people talk about retirement, the more he hears about it and the more he hears about it, his warrior instincts get tinged with doubts.

Pac started off as a very ****y kid. I still have copies of tapes sent to me by friends of his early fights where Henson and Nathanielz, who were covering the fights, appeared put off by his ****iness. But I think that self-confidence is the foundation of what makes Manny, Manny Pacquiao. When he begins to doubt, much is lost.

The fight game is as much mental as it is physical.

By the way, pal, I'm back in Manila. Got in yesterday morning but will be flying out tomorrow evening.

only those that didnt actually see castillo vs lazcano would be dumb enough to say castillo murdered him
fact is it was a close fight
i scored it for lazcano
download the fight and watch it instead of asking if im serious dont be an idiot

also watch castillos fights with casamayor and stevie johnston 2 both of which i thought those guys beat him pretty convincingly heck casamayor only lost 3 rounds but was screwed to make way for corrales vs castillo everyone knows that

and someone said corrales can box? lmfao uh show me some clips of his boxing please lmao cause ive never seen him box effectively
freitas was completely outboxing him and freitas sucks as a boxer generally
corrales cant box well at all damn i cant believe people say and believe that its like ok when has he ever done it oh well he hasnt but u know he could if he wanted he just doesnt and hasnt ever cause well not cause he cant cause he can

no he hasnt because he cant and dont even mention that pathetic attempt at a jab that he throws its laughable at best
