Pacquiao watched Juan Diaz this weekend, decides he wants Valero

I think Pacquiao will start to be more seriously affected by the jump in weight at 135.

Manny isn't a big 130, and he's mostly been fighting other guys who spent most of their careers at lower weights. Against a prime, career LW such as Diaz, I think he's in trouble. Manny can win, but he'll have to be at his absolute peak, and I don't think he's been truly peak this year.

But maybe the right fight would bring it back out.

 

What about SOTO!!! he is far more deserving than Valero. I dont want Valero to fight Manny yet. He is too green. Its gonna be Fernando Vargas all over again. I see Soto as being ready though or the obvious choice JMM

 

Nahhhh..Valero vs Pac is what would sell...IN ASIA.

Come on..now its Pac fighting old men, now he's fighting guys who are too green.

Top Rank will eventually put a Soto-Manny Pac card eventually. I see that next year while squeezing JMM out of the picture.

 

How can you say he is not too green though he only has 22 fights. do you honestly think that is enough to step up to the #2 p4p fighter? call me crazy but i dont he needs more experience to develop into a more complete fighter.

 

But Soto is not that good imo. Just look what Bobby Pac did to him. Let's wait if he can survive Joan Guzman. Maybe Soto vs Solis will be better.

 

Why can't DIAz clean his own backyard first before taking over Pacquiao's yard. So should Pacquiao--there are lots of fights waiting for him in SF division.

 

Yea that is true. I want to see the Guzman fight first but i think he has what it takes. What exactly did Bobby do to Soto anyways. He got his ass handed to him in 7 rounds?? i do remember hearing he stunned him but who hasnt been stunned in boxing maybe it was just a lucky punch? i dont know really i havent seen the fight only the 7th round. some help on this please..

 

Valero and Diaz should get it it on to see who deserves a fight against Pac.

 

You didn't see the fight? :think

No WONDER YOU are giving Soto too much regards.

Lucky punch or not . . . that punch really stunned Soto . . . and if it was Pac in there he won't have time to recover, he is a dead meat. :yep

 

Maybe he's jealous cause he can't sing. Lalala...lala

 

Then again Soto was never Knocked out like Pac. Boxers go in there to get hit and they are human. They are bound to get hurt once in a while. however Soto hasnt been knocked out so you know he has got heart. out of all the Super feathers i give Soto the best chance. That may change depending on the Guzman outcome though.

 

Well yeah Soto hasn't been knocked out yet but check the level of his competition dude. He almost got knock out by a journeyman fighter there and he is not going to be tested against Guzman because Guzman doesn't have power to knock him out.

He should be fighting the likes of Juarez, Jeorge Solis or Valero to be tested. These fighters have high % of K.O. wins.

As to Pacquaio he passed and fought HOF fighters in MAB and Morales so his K.O.s 10 years ago is no longer a thing to be considered at present.:yep

 

Simple buddy . . . he's got glory . . . but NO MONEY! :yep

 

It seems like a lot of fans have fallen off the Pacman bandwagon because Manny has started to enjoy his celebrity status. You can't blame the guy for enjoying a better life. If you were from where he came from(and I've seen it firsthand) you would want to enjoy yourself a bit more too. The guy is still a great fighter. He hasn't really taken on any easy fights. It is good that there are so many challenges awaiting him, but everyone should remember that he is the big man on campus right now and can pick and choose who he wants to fight. There are some attractive fights out there(JMM), and there are some dangerous fights out there(Valero, Diaz). Let's just watch and enjoy the fireworks as long as Pac is on top.

 

i would rather see PAC fight at 130 than 135... after he fights jmm, soto, guzman and valero... he then can go to 135!
