    Fighting M. Hatton would be downright unforgivable, but that being said I dont think Floyd would be stupid enough to do it, and besides, it was just a BS rumor anyway.

    Foreman on the other hand, I said this in another thread already, Pac better be wise not to **** with him.

    :rofl Comon Foreman is NOT a treat at all. Are you ****ing kidding me? This is a very winnable fight for Pac and an easy way to yet another
    title at another weight. You think if Foreman posed any kind of treat to
    Pac Roach would risk a mega fight with Floyd?

    foreman is a ****ing bum...dont let the win over santos fool you...that **** was staged with santos getting side money....c'mon alcine has way more power and couldnt drop santos...this shiy was staged for pac to win an 8th division title to have the upper hand in negotitions against floyd....pac would wash foreman up in 5-6 rounds especially if they drain his ass 150

    I'm just saying. Factor everything in and Foreman could very well box his ears off. Foreman can take a good shot, is quick on his feet and is at a towering 5'11. Now unlike Oscar he utilizes his height very well being that he's a counterpuncher. A very negative one at that. COMPLETELY different style from Pac's last 4 opponents, and if they're rushing the fight for a March date then I dont feel that's sufficient time enough to prepare for Yuri's style.

    And hey, did I mention the Arum-jewish connection? (kidding)

    Now if they make Yuri drain down at 150 just like what I read on another thread, it's a different story. But I wouldn't expect it to be a cakewalk either!

    Well, there is no point if you are gonna dismiss a win as staged if you don't like it.

    I wish they had a line of betting open so that I could bet against any of this happening. It's just rumours and speculation and lies.

    I agree that M. Hatton is a journeyman but Foreman is a good boxer. Just because he lacks KO's doesn't mean his a journeyman. He would actually post a threat against a smaller boxer(Manny).

    I agree. Why the **** are Hatton and Foreman wasting their time with tuneups, we want to see them fight live opponents not bums like Pac and Floyd.

    This is all a bargaining ploy.

    I think the "fly in the ointment", though, is Manny running for office again and a May date being a problem. Arum wants to move it up to March, which apparently Mayweather isn't as keen on, and so Arum is trying to put some pressure on Golden Boy.
