    Probably but you know Pac is scared to fight Bradley,Floyd,and Juan so try the easiest face in his eyes.

    Fought Bradley and crushed him already but got robbed. Fought Marquez three times.

    But... he's scared of them. :good Stop breathing, it will be better for your health.

    One thing to say he won,but he did NOT crush him.. Only Pac would not want his belt back,Timmy was supposed to get knocked out,and by the end of the fight looked like he just got done sparring..

    Even if you give Pac the win,stop it with the exaggerations,the last guy Pac crushed was maybe Margarito..Guys need to stop with the tall tales,he couldn't knock down a feather fisted guy with 2 bad feet,Pac's time is almost done..

    Pac wanted Cotto to come all the way down to 147. Cotto said no. It is rumored that he counter offered at 150 only to have Pac/Arum say no.

    This fight would be at 150, which was the contracted weight for Cotto vs. Margarito.

    He wants it at 150 and with Ariza Shakes too.

    Manny has done a great job of lifting himself out of poverty by ANY means necessary.


    ANY sane desperate man would say yes to a "protein" shake if it meant no more shacks and hotDOGS.

    That wasn't the contracted weight. That was brought up in negotiations just to be ruffle feathers on Tony's team. Ultimately the fight was settled on 153 IIRC.

    Crushing him is knocking him down,putting a beating on him,which he did not do.. Timmy made Pac look old by the 9th,and even HBO said how Pac was stealing rounds..

    So will Pac get his belt back or fight a guy he says beat 3 times already?

    do you guys forget that Cotto willfully defended his belt at a catchweight just recently?

    Cotto(e) margo was 153, just one pound off from the limit as stupid as it sounds
