A couple thoughts about Pacquiao's prospective opponents, from a Pacquiao fan

:good


I couldn't wholeheartedly agree more. I REALLY REALLY don't get all the ****ING hand wringing. Barring some unforeseen catastrophe Pacquiao is going to have at least 4-6 more fights, he could fight all these assholes (including Bradly who I think is going to destroy Alexander) and put Mayweather as icing on the cake.

I as a fan never begrudged Mayweather making his money. He earned it. Why should I begrudge Pacquiao? Hell, a fight with Mosley ISN'T the end of world, from the standpoint he isn't stating "And I'm out bitches...Late!!!"

As far as Marquez **** that little "*****"... I don't see ANY reason why Pacquiao has to CONCEDE anything to this *******. Marquez didn't do anything to make a Pac/Marquez III compelling. Did he even try to establish himself at 140lb? He had a chance to fight any of the 140lb young guns or beat up Berto to a pulp. Instead he's drawing only 5,000 people and wearing cheap ass T-shirts to call out Pacquiao. Make him walk over coals and then crawl over glass... :twisted::smoke

 

Money and PPV buys aside....

1. Marquez -
Good: finish the trilogy and doubt
Bad: age and at even 140 people will say he is really a >135 lb fighter
2. Berto
Good: WW champ, young, fast hands, no defeat,
Bad: young, no elite name in his resume, no elite win
3. Mosley
Good: experienced, fast, strong puncher, future first ballot HoF
Bad: old, "shot", slower now


It does not really matter which fight Pac takes if you are looking for the "perfect" opponent. That is PBF and only PBF. Some one, some where they will find fault with JMM, Berto or Mosley. Often 1 "*****" will prefer JMM while another "*****" think JMM is old and no good anything above 135.

So face it. Unless it is PBF you will get criticism no matter which opponent Pac picks.

I think they are all fine, I prefer JMM, Berto and Mosley in that order. But I really can't argue if he picks any one of them.

 

Yeah, and expect that after a Pacquiao fight new alts would surface here discrediting Pacquiao.

registered_member: Pacquiao should fight Marquez at 140.

After Pacquiao defeated Marquez, the same registerd member will registered an alias and discredit Pacquiao's win over Marquez.

 

Good post Crax.

Pac-JMM at 140 makes the most sense if Mayweather isn't available. Let's hope Arum and the boys do the right thing.

 

Exactly. At 140, Pac will be fighting at probably 80-90% of his best. True JMM fans wouldn't like this.

 

Solid post.

He needs to drug test too though.

 

last time i check he did just not what your idol wants.. oh wait has he come up with another one.. blood test after every round

 

Obviously you never checked. Nor did you proofread that sentence.

0 days is NOT equal to 7 days. I guess you are doing ******* math.

 

So he can't cut 4 pounds, yet you want to call him an ATG while starving a bunch of other guys down?

What a joke of a statement. :blood

 

It pays to be truthful, and it's always a good thing to be honest. I applaud you for that. If only more here could try to be more consistent and objective.

 

Honestly, what's Pac and Roach going to do? Start loading Pac up with steroids for 7 days and not get caught in the post fight blood test? There's little to no logic to this, regardless of whether you think Floyd is justified in these demands (And how is he. Both were 106 pounds at 16 and both went up to 154 pounds as Floyd says. Is he on PEDs?). Besides, Floyd hasn't whispered a word of objecting to this stance since the last fallout because he didn't care about fighting Pac. He had lost the urge, and wanted to go on vacation while him and his team denied negotiations ever taking place, which Greenberg already refuted.

The first fall out had Mayweather agreeing to a 14 day cutoff (As his final proposal), and that Pac was "walking away" from the superfight. Maybe Floyd should just force Pac to have a no eating 24 hours before the fight policy. No, that would just be ridiculous. I'll await for a logical purpose to your distinction, since Floyd fans have come to defend Floyd for not ducking when he had no objections to this stance and just wanted to not fight and go on "vacation."

 

Your boy keeps coming up with excuses to ducked pacquiao. Drug testing- beating up his girl- beating up bodyguards - still on vacation etc. Now he has multiple felonies and can't fight in may etc etc

I know pac is not doing any favors by completely dominating another fighter mayweather ducked(Cheato) but how much more excuse will your boy have?

Tell your boy to stop beating girls and security guards and fight a real man. P4P kingpin - fighter of the decade --8 division champion manny pacquiao:hi:

 

:rofl Keep em coming.

 

Except for the JMM weight thing, I agree with what you said, Crax. Why should Pac have to go back down to 140 just to fight a guy he has already beaten, and has clearly outgrown in physical size, and popularity?

If Pac fights Mosley, I just might cry. I pray every night that fight doesn't happen, because I am a huge Pacquiao fan, and I hate to say it, but if he fights Mosley, all the cherry picker comments that will come out will have some serious merit this time. That is a (somewhat) high risk, VERY low reward fight.

Great post.

 

Pacquiao doesn't get credit for beating Shane? Mmmm.... That depends on how he beats him imo. Sure I'd rather he fought others but if he dispatched Mosley in style, something nobody has done before yes I'd give him credit.
