    Pacquaio doesn't like opponents who box and move around because it exposes him as one dimensional

    Cause Yuri forman can't draw a **** load of mexican's to buy his PPV or pack a huge stadium....plus he actually uses his size.

    yeah, they fought Clottey at 147, (5th rated in the WW by ring mag at that time) and at that time Margo was suspended.

    What was so wrong about Pac fighting somebody at his own weight?

    I agree with you. I like Pacquiao but this will be a tough fight for him.

    Oh so some think Pac was scared of Yuri, but he's not scared of Margo. Please. Yuri hasn't done anything to be scared of. Marg is a much better opponent.


    Pac was never scared of him because of his size, people need to stop believing what top rank, roach and sometimes Pac himself say. Just doesn't make sense he would be scared of him because of the size and now is fighting Marg.

    :patsch

    Its a step by step process. 2 years ago, Hatton was too big. Pac wasnt sure about taking on a 154lb back then, previous to that his fight was at 145. He took on a big WW in Clottey and got confidence to go up in weight then.

    They could have gotten Yuri at a catch weight of 150 like they did with Margarito. There excuses contradict themselves. Yuri isn't a bg enough draw, but they fought CLottey instead. They said Yuri is too tall, but he's the same height as Margarito and Oscar
