    Pac looks stupid fighting Marquez after Floyd destroyed him.

    Ok so what non-sham fight is PBF going to look for? Think he's going to fight Mosely? Maybe Margarito? Paul Williams?

    I'll lay you 1k right now that none of those guys will be his next opponent.

    Well considering that Mosley has a fight right row, Margarito is banned, and Williams hasn't fought @ 147 for 2 fights now, I wouldn't doubt it.

    If manny has balls He'll fight Floyd at welterweight or Marquez at lightweight or light welterweight.He wo'nt fight unless him and freddie call all the shots and have all the advantages.Why would'nt he fight Marquez befor?For years for a rematch.They had to wait until he starts to age.Still think Marquez will give him a tough fight.Maybe even beat him.If it's at a reasonable weight.**** freddie and manny.

    There is no possible way that this can be twisted to make it seem as if Pac is ducking PBF. You guys can repeat it to yourselves all you want, but it's not going to work. Pac would fight him tomorrow in his backyard, and you know it. You KNOW it, yet you still make these posts. I really don't understand your point of view here.

    No matter how many alts you make, no matter how much fake outrage you spew on the boards, no matter how much you hate it, PBF is going to be mainly remembered for ducking the best fighter of his era, and the biggest fight of his career.

    I don't think Roach can be serious about this.

    10 years from now, 20 years from now and 50 years from now this will be the first thing that's brought up when anyone mentions PBF as a candidate for greatness: "yeah, but he didn't fight Pacquiao!".

    He'll be remembered the way SRL would have been if he hadn't fought Hearns. With a big fat asterisk next to his name.

    Yes, it would be a mismatch at this stage 135+. I think Marquez beat him in the rematch by 115/113, but now this is bogus.

    He thoroughly dominated him. He didn't come close to destroying him.

    It sounds as if Roach was using Forman's name as a means of negotiating all along and he really had no real intent of backing a fight against him. Makes sense since he has said many times over that 147 would be Pac's limit.

    On the contrary, I think Pac will be remembered for passing up a little test to A) prove his innocence and B) make the fight of the decade happen.


    It's not as if PBF has passed the fight up. The ball was in Pac's court and he opted out.

    I mean think about it. This fight would be signed by now if Pac had of just manned up and took the test. He would shut up Floyd's team, prove his innocence and land the biggest fight of his life and make millions upon millions. Yet he let this minuscule thing destroy this huge historical event. Why? Why? Why? It's pretty fuked up and the only logical answer to why is because he really does have something to hide. Brutal

    Maybe, maybe not, but we didn't even get a chance to see if that would be the case because team Pacquiao is unwilling to make even one concession. I know Floyd has a reputation for avoiding legit threats....We all do....But some of us are completely ignoring the fact that Manny has a well deserved rep for making bull**** excuses, and this one is right on par with his cheap socks excuse. Not to mention the fact that Pacquiao has gotten quite a few concessions himself in his most recent negotiations.
