But as a boxing fan I want him to fight JMM & the winner of Soto - Guzman first before moving up to lightweight. Methinks he is struggling to make 130 and wants to win a title belt in his next fight. Your thoughts on this? Link below. http://www.philstar.com/index.php?Sports&p=49&type=2&sec=30
if the diaz-morales fight is any indication, pac should be able to handle david diaz. maybe he wants to avenge his now good friend, erik.
Pacman would stop this Diaz. I would not be happy with this fight. Morales nearly beat him and he is shot. Pacman knows he can beat this guy. If he wants a title and feels he can move up and get one, why not fight one of the real champions, or at least a highly rated contender?
No they won't. And Casa is the Ring champ. Its not the same as fighting Morales and MAB who had no titles and were old. Casamayors in ring age is not the same as those 2....he hasn't been in wars and doesn't have 60 fights.
What the Hell man? is Pacquiao running away from Marquez? the Pacquiao team never tells us that they want this fight. Time is wasting, JMM will be 35 when they finally face each other. Is this ****er really worth the #2 spot in the p4p list with all this bull, come on.
Who could blame him for wanting Diaz next after the way he handled Morales and the great fight Morales gave Diaz?
the only reason why PAC had trouble making the 130 weight... is because of his f*cking training camp here in the philippines... there's so much distraction here and he doesnt even have quality sparring partners... he even had a fever while training here... better learn your lesson PAC...
I think David Diaz would be a harder fight for Pacquiao than most people think. I am not a Diaz fan by any means, but he does bring it to every fight. Pac is faster than him, better than him, but not bigger and maybe not stronger than Diaz. People forget that Diaz was originally a 140lb fighter ( he actually upset Zab Judah in the 96' olympic boxoffs). The only time he was ko'd was by Kendall a very good light welterweight fighter. Armando Santa Cruz(who is big Lightweight) hit him with everything but the kitchen and still couldnt knock him out neither could Morales. So Pac would have to go in and box actually, and use his speed. If he gets caught in a brawl he might get knocked out.
jmm and pac will be hard to negotiate. both will be demeding the bigger purse. jmm being the champion and pac being the bigger draw. this fight needs to happen but everytime i think about it, the probability gets less and less
I rather see him against Marquez, but if Pac wins that makes him the first fighter to win titles in 3 of the original 8 weight classes right?
Armstrong held FW, LW, and WW at the same time. All lineal. But in this day and age, Pacman doing it would be an accomplishment. But if he is gonna do it, do it real. Go after a unified champ or the Ring champ. Not the weakest champ.
