:goodWhat Froid's fans failed to analyze is that Froid is doing what he can to have as much advantage as possible because deep inside Froid has doubts. Pacquaio is probably one of the fighters that will actually beat him. If it wasn't for the random blood test we would have a fight on March 13, and Froid would have a "1" instead of an "0". Manny is going to whop that ass. Froid is all talk right now, but he can't back up what he said that Manny is one dimentional or too easy. Man up Froid and salvage this fight, so that we can see your ass get beat up. Prove us wrong Froid that you're not a FRAUD. With Clottey's fight, I don't believe that until they sign the contract that it's going to be a catch weight. It will be a competitive fight, but I think Manny is going to win it by late TKO or MD.
:good ****ing Manny and his "Catchweight" fights! If the guy is too big for you Manny don't fight him!!! Please let this be a load of shite!!
:good Agreed!! Though Kidd, I can't see how the fight can be for Manny's title and at 144. The ww limit is 147. I hope this is a load of shite. The man has no right to class himself as the welterweight champion of the world if he is not going to allow his challengers to weigh in at the limit of 147. FFS!! He made Cotto weigh in at 145 and it was Cotto's belt they were fighting for!! I'm a fan of Pacquiao's and have been for a long time, but this kind of "Weight clause" **** does him or the sport no good. I hope it is wrong!!
I hope the above is true! But Retriever mate, if making weight is a little over-rated why did Manny include a weight clause in the negotiations with FMJ? I'm a fan of both (Though I have lost a little respect for both,, I must admit) so there is no "Hidden agenda" in my question..
this makes no sense....Pacquiao beat cotto, who they made come in at 145, and cotto beat clottey....why make the fight at 144? you figure they would ask for 145? If it is a catchweight...
isn't this Pacquiao that complains about a few teaspoons of blood are going to drain him, but 3 lbs more won't drain Clottey?
What a load of ****. PAC should just fight at 140...**** all this "welterweight" ****. I guess if its not for a welterweight title and Clottey is ok with it its ok.
Typical.pac nd roach do'nt fight unless they have a major advantage.How can it be for the 147 pound title at 144?Bull****.Show some balls pac. fight at the weight.Makes me sick.
