    I'm telling you, a fight with Foreman is all wrong for pac. First of all, it would be yet another jump in weight (Catchweight or no, it would still be above 147), and against a guy whose style could potentially make Pac look stupid and out of his league. Can ****ing imagine if YURI FOREMAN were to put a crimp in what would have been one of the biggest fights in the history of the sport?

    Pac would come in at 140 and still beat this guy.

    His style is awkward, yes, but, Manny is too quick for him. Plus, the guy is easy to hit.

    Roach still wants the fight in March. This is only going to happen, if Mayweether fights in England.

    But Pacquiao would convincingly beat Foreman and make the fight, and his legacy, even bigger.

    You think? From what I've seen of him, he's elusive as **** and bounces all over the ring, he'd also have huge reach and height advantages over Manny.

    He looked ok in beating a fat slow out of shape Santos but Pacman destroys him in 6

    Dont think it'll happen. As much as Im sure Pac will beat Yuri, notthing is for sure in boxing and no way Arum will risk a fight worth 100mil+. If Pac were to face Yuri and want that 8th title, he better off doing it after PBF, win or loose its a decent keep busy fight and can be sold to the mainstream.

    Good luck building Yuri Foreman up. Pacquiao should be able to handle Foreman. Furthermore, I still expect Floyd vs. Pacquiao next.

    I agree.... and at the very least he will not make pac look good, and simmer the burning fire that is there for the superfight.

    the fight needs to happen, period.... none of this 'tune up' bull****.

    He is a good counter puncher who can move, he will provide a lot of trouble for Pac. Can he win I do not think so

    Foreman is slick as ****. He is near impossible to hit clean and when u do he scrambles out of there so fast and ties u up as u come in.

    This fight will make Pac look bad also because he will have to reach in all the time. I like this fight because its a challenge as long as they dont try to drain Foreman. I mean come on its stupid to keep asking for weight limits to affect ur opponents performance just beat them fair and sqaure and no one complains.
    I would take this if the JMM rubbermatch does not come off which i dont think it will.

    I agree. I have the feeling that Pac would have a tough time with Foreman. I hope I'm wrong.

    No chance. George Foreman maybe. The other guy is a smoke screen to unknown value.

    I don't see Pac having trouble with him. Sure he's elusive and what not, but Pac is just downright faster both with his hands and his feet. Plus, Foreman completely lacks Power, something needed to slow Pac down or at least put some fear into him.
