I would like to congratulate JMM ahead of everybody once he wins over Valero! I think this is a better win than his win over mab and casa. He will will have the privilage of giving valero his first "L". Nevermind if it's only mosqueda that he beat. it's ok. at least we can say he is far from being shot. Lets give credit where credit is due. JMM AND DIVAC, don't you dare lose coz I was the FIRST to CONGRATULATE you and give YOU FULL credit!
Pac was moving up anyways so it was only a matter of time. JMM would school Valero. I don't think the kid has a snowball's chance in hell.
It's a good move on Pac's part. Why keep a belt and pay the fees when you might fight Ricky Hatton at junior welterweight after the DLH fight? Exactly, good move.
I actually applaud Pacquiao for sticking two fingers up at the WBC and saying no. As this is not a WBC title fight, why should Mr Sulaiman be entitled to any $$$? The nonsense about Manny becoming a big star because of the WBC is amusing. Does he really think that Pacquiao would be a nobody if those fights hadn't been under their control - say the IBF, WBA or better still, no bloodsucking sanctioning body at all.
Yeah this SHOULD be an easy win for Valero. Personally I think people predicting JMM-Valero are expecting a little too much there. I don't see these two ever crossing paths any time soon...JMM will face Juan Diaz and possibly Campbell before chasing Pac up in weight to about 140-147 ish. Valero will probably feast upon smaller time competition for as long as he can before someone ends that can fest. I can promise it won't be JMM whose looking more and more likely to follow Pac around every weight class.
I think Pavlik paid the fees for Taylor II, $20k The sooner fighters stand up to this blatant robbery, the better for boxing. Mr Rocchigiani should have just let the ******* go bankrupt :deal
