Which one will hurt Pac's Legacy??? Losing to DLH or Losing to Campbell??? Which one will be remembered 20 yrs from now??? Pac beating DLH or Pac beating Campbell???
Of these two choices, definitely Pac-Campbell, but I'd rather see him fight the winner of Casamayor-Marquez than anything else.
losing to DLH..because it may hurt him afterwards also because of the weight increase. Pac will be remembered for unifying all the belts in the LW division and i think for being the 1st to unify the LW division. And only a few fighters have ever unified the division, hopkins for example.
I don't see the reason for a rush to 147lbs... (Besides a payday) Say Manny beat's De La Hoya, Then what? Do you really want to see him drop down 2 weight classes to fight at lightweight again? (If Manny wins he is a "Superfight" now and has no official weightclass he replaces Oscar as the Cash cow of boxing and will have a target on his head)
The #1 P4P should be a target for anybody in Boxing. This fight needs to Happen coz we need a Changing of the Guard from DLH-Pac.
If Hatton thought he could win, Hatton thought it was a serious fight, Calderon trainer thought he could win, who am I to say it cant happen? Calderon may very well outbox Hatton.
Yes I'm comparing Forbes and Sturm to Pac because these are legitimate heavier fighters who could woop Pac's ass anytime. You even try to disprove wrong . . . then somehting must be terribly wrong with your brain. And I'm calling that circus because it's illogical for a 154 pounder to go down to 147 and fight a fighter coming up from 135 just to rake in millions of $$$$ . . . for an exibition fight. There's nothing at stake except money. Isn't that a circus act? And you're claiming that it's gonna be better for boxing? Better than a unification fight? :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl
Losing to Campbell will definitely hurt Pac's Legacy more . . . and probably the main reason why a lot of people doesn't want the fight to happen. :yep The second part . . . Pac unfying at 135 after getting the #1 p4p status will go down the book and will be recognized (not remembered) as more accomplishment than him fighting a mega money exibition fight with De La Hoya.
I'll say it again . . . this Mega Money exibition fight is only better for their own pockets not for boxing. An exibition fight will never be better than a unification fight . . . period. It's just This content is protected talk. :yep
Pacquiao vs Campbell is the fight I want to see above all.. I've been wanting this fight ever since Pac mentioned moving up to 135..
Unless there are 24 pinoys on here, which is about ten more than I thought there were...ESB, choo got some splainin to do. :bart
How about winning against DLH??? A former Flyweight beating a former Middleweight Champ??? Isn't that Greater than Pac beating Campbell who's got no legend in his resume???
I will say that Pac/DLH has a litte more meaning than money.. Not only will Pac get a huge payday, but if he should win, he (being a former flyweight) would have beaten a former middleweight champ like PacD said above.. I think it would definitely improve his ATG status by a little and of course, he would have defied the odds.. But I'm really bent on seeing a Pac vs Campbell fight..
Guzzy-Campbell already signed. You Pray that Campbell can outrun and out tap Guzrun so we can see this fight in the future.
