    I had big hopes for Manny Pacquiao but it looks like he is turning into a Money Mayweather.

    Money Pacquiao? Sure as hell seems so.

    That's the point, we DON'T know yet if he will lose all. We need to see how well he performs against DLH and how well he carries the weight to make a final decision on how he might do against the fighters mentioned.

    Roach also said he would fight Marquez at 140. So i guess its up in the air.

    when someone says a positive quote, it flys under the radar, but as soon as someone says something that can be critisized, someone makes a thread about it.

    Hell yea JMM should take it. As i have said before. The higher the weight class the better JMM will bear. Pacs speed and power will diminish and JMM boxing skills will stay the same. Pac is just losing his biggest strenghts against JMM by going up. JMM loses nothing.

    And you know JMM will go up to whatever weight class to fight him. Although i think JMM should just stay at LW and clean it up. Then possibly go to 140 and collect another belt. Then he would be the first mexican to get belts in 4 weight classes.

    That is a little bit crazy if he does decide to stay at 147. I guess we'll have to see how he looks against DLH who is a natrual WW. I think PAC really doesn't want to fight JMM for a 3rd time. He's already beaten him twice in most eyes and it's hard getting motivated against a guy you've already went 24 hard rounds with. So I think he may just be saying (without saying) he doesn't see the need for a 3rd fight. But money talks....i'd love a 3rd meeting between the two. They are two of the very best we have in boxing today and both fights were classics. But PAC don't need JMM....and I see why JMM is pushing for a 3 encounter although I doubt if he gets a "W" over his nemisis....PAC just has his number...along with MAB and EM.

    Let's be realistic.:lol: PAC and JMM are similar in size....PAC is moving up so JMM should be able to as well if he really wants to chase the guy who beat him twice and I think JMM might just do that as a one time thing...PAC may want to stay at WW but I know JMM isn't going to stay...he may do it one time to corner PAC. But JMM will still get a good payday against PAC...just not the lions share since PAC is the name.

    Then don't. I can't see how anyone would think that.....I mean PAC is fighting a guy who is 10 times more dangerous than JMM and people actually believe some real off the wall type **** round here.

    Pac is on the next chapter of his career and all that anyone can talk about is JMM.


    Let them go their separate ways.

    Get over it people.

    What do they drink in the Philippines? He isn't done with getting ready to start training for Oscar yet and he already likes fighting at welter. Wow.

    Manny has unfinished business. JMM is calling him out. Every true boxing fan wants this fight.

    Manny not taking this fight at 135 is being a *****.
