    Pac is a joke. So Yuri Foreman is the most dangerous LM? LMAO!

    Tell manny to go after Williams or Kirkland. Manny is a clown.

    Yuri's advantage is in size, but does Arum honestly think that people -- and I'm talking people who were expecting Pac/Floyd -- are going to be happier with the prospect of Pac fighting someone who is largely unknown outside serious boxing fans?

    Yuri is NOT a more credible opponent in terms of generating excitement.

    both average fights.

    all yuri brings is a title at another weight.

    he's no puncher and only a decent boxer.

    pac is too good for malignaggi.

    pac vs paul williams would be better. :yep

    Yep. I would buy that!

    With the esteem that PM holds FMJ I think that PM would be asking for the blood tests too.

    To be honest at least Paulie have fought some real champions. Who the hell did Yuri fight? Daniel Santos? Come on I know there are a lot of Paulie haters here but even the biggest Paulie hater here that Paulie has fought the better competition in his career. The only reason Yuri fight might look better for an opponent for Pacman is because of his size that's all.

    Yuri is better than Paulie but Joshua Clottey would be the best fight for either Pac or PBF.


    I dont see Pac stopping Clottey at all and it would be a good fight.

    Pac should sweat back down to super feather and fight Ji Hoon Kim just cos I wanna see it.

    But nah, Pac v Foreman is a joke fight but i'll accept and ill warm to it if Pac lets Foreman fight at 154!

    Why doesn't that cheat go for Timothy Bradley? Hell even Lamont Peterson? They are his size and good. No need to squabble over weight.

    Oh yeah he got locked up. I slipped...

    PW is still there. If not there then go down. There is plenty of prime time talent at LWW.

    Paulie is a good dude. He has thrown down. I just think that with Manny's recent performances, the current drug tests included, no championship level fighter will put his career on the line without the testing.

    Pac is forced to fight Yuri or some other "blah" fight.

    Paul Williams is a very credible option, outside of Mayweather, Paul Williams or Sergio Martinez would put a final signature on Pacquiao's career. But, alas we go from Mayweather to slow Yuri Foreman whose biggest fight to this point was Daniel Santos. Oh Joy...
