    Im just waiting till Oscar knocks Manny on his ass, and then we wont have to hear this bull**** about "Im going to fight at welterweight". And also all the people who keep talking about Pacquiao "outboxing" Oscar will shut the **** up.

    Manny is all money now..Thats the damn truth..who can blame him??

    He has fought the big three at this weight 7 times!!! You can put Calzaghe, Hopkins, Mayweathers careers combined and they have not fought the ATGs of this sport 7 times.. something to think about.

    Yeah Pacquiao is on the next chapter of his career - the chapter that real boxing fans don't give a **** about.

    Want to tell someone how much you think of Pacman? Go and chat with his bank manager.

    Pac is becoming irrelevant as a real boxer. Get over it.

    JMM has unfinished business...Not PAC. He finished business when he solidified his first win by winning again in the rematch.

    You are correct though....all true boxing fans want this fight, but PAC has to want it in order to make this reality. I think he's done with JMM and it partly has to do with JMM comments over the last 4 or 5 yrs. JMM has been crying for a while, even after getting the gift draw in their first fight.

    He should have been happy that he was able to keep his title, but should have rematch immediately! That would have been the ideal time to really beat PAC...now PAC is better and stronger giving JMM a smaller window of opprotunity to finally get the "W" over PAC that has been eluding him.

    You sound really upset man. Maybe even a bit personal. But the reality is Manny is Relevant and he's at this point in Boxing the poster child for the sport. And a vast variety/majority of boxing fans actually do give a **** about this fight, even though it's seems to be an easy fight to pick......You gotta respect that PAC isn't taken on easy fights...he's actually pushing himself in a way that Joe C or Floyd Mayweather never thought of in their primes. I understand you are upset about something but I'm not sure exactly what that is. But I hope you are able to get over it.

    Yeah, I am upset because I was a big fan of Pacman, I defended him against silly posters all the time, I argued he was p4p No 1 when people were arguing JMM or Calzaghe were, I was happy that he became the new face of boxing, and as soon as he becomes the new face of boxing, he sells out against DLH and instead of letting that be a one-off, he makes an arse of himself brushing JMM off telling him he should follow him at 147 for a tiny slice of the purse, and MAYBE he will fight him, when that is one of the biggest fights in boxing.

    Oh, and please don't patronise me in future if you wish me to reply.

    Just the same thing with them being upset that Williams has not given Margo a rematch for winning a close fight. Probably even if Williams moves up to 175, they'd still be crying that he ducked Margo.

    that's the point. Pac went 24 hard, bloody rounds with JMM regardless of which guys you had winning the two fights. Pac wants to go on his way.

    There's the double standard here. Alright, why would no one say that JMM is ducking Chris John for he moved up two weight classes without giving John a rematch?

    Regardless of who won the fight. Officially it's a loss for JMM. Why didn't JMM pursue a rematch with John if he's so confident he won the first fight? We'll probably hear that JMM doesn't need John anymore, JMM needs to fight bigger names or for bigger purses. Which ends up with our argument that Pac doesn't need to fight JMM anymore after doing the dance twice already.


    Hipocrisy all around.

    I can feel your pain in your post Decebal. I feel bad for you but don't take things so seriously. You say PAC sold out but he didn't. PAC is doing what we wish ALL boxers has the set to do so. He's actually CHALLENGING himself in a far more exciting way than most boxers would.

    He's moving up in weight not one but 2 divisions against DLH who is not only bigger but a better boxer. Sure he did that with JMM, MAB and EM but those guys were more on his level in terms of physical demensions. This test for PAC is something that people should embrace. Sure DLH and PAC are easy targets as anyone who is on top are, but I feel for you b/c you are taking this to heart when you could be enjoying this.

    I for one think DLH will KO PAC, but as a fan of this unpredictable sport I can't say that 100% DLH will knock Manny's head off......I mean I saw a "FAN MAN" fly into center ring in a HW championship fight with BOWE and Holyfield...I saw Mike Tyson Bite a mans ear off in the middle of a fight and was allowed to continue.

    I want to see a 3rd fight with JMM and PAC..I'd like to see 10 fights between the 2....but PAC doesn't need JMM and it's not "IMPORTANT" that they fight anther match...it won't do anything for PAC. Well...I guess it is important to JMM, but he's had 2 shots and failed both times, that's not PAC's fault .....if PAC was fighting some nobodies or some easy fights I could understand the uproar, but he's fighting a very serious opponent in DLH and it's a very Risky fight for PAC...we should be estactic we have a guy like PAC whom LOOKS for these kinds of challenges and doesn't give in to the Governing bodies who hold all these Straps that are begining to mean less and less. Sorry for Patronising you Homeboy!:good

    Pacman is never going back to 135, JMM needs to be smart about this if he wants a third match that badly instead of just calling him out through the press.

    Pac is most likely to go to 140 and chase a Hatton superfight after DLH, Marquez should ruin Pac's plans and get to Hatton first before Pacman and if Marquez is successful, Pac will have no other option than JMM>
