    Wow! We are talking about PAC fighting guys much heavier and bigger than him :good

    How about pbf's recent achievement?!

    A boxer who fought 135Lbs twice and jumped two weight divisions to 145. PBF not being contented with the weight difference showed up 2lbs heavier then the agreed weight!...PBF is expected to win from the start due to weight differenes.. and the pbf FANS felt so great about it:patsch

    PAC fought JMM at 130 which is probably his best/efficient weight and PBF fought him at a bloated weight at 145lbs..

    PAC fought hatton on his best weight where he never lost at 140lbs..PBF won over Hatton when hatton went up to 147lbs. Not to mention it took pbf a ring post and 8 rounds to finish off Hatton. Pac finished Hatton in 2 rounds!

    This is ****in' FACT which I know will be hard to swallow by pbf fans! :hi:

    PBF has been at 147 for ages but surprisingly or not surprisingly...Much earlier than the PAC vs Cotto fight, there were once upon a time four great names at 147lbs but there was no
    COTTO,MARGARITO,MOSLEY and WILLIAMS in his resume. :think

    The funny thing about it is that some PBF fans had the guts to call pbf the best at 147:rofl:lol:

    answer the question...according to haters JMM is too small for WW. He even had a hard time with Juan Diaz. Floyd was blasted for this fight, so why shouldn't Manny?

    Answer the question.

    Do you have any knowledge of boxing history?
    Pacquiao has 1 fight at 147.

    You think he is going to drag marquez up to 147?

    Are you suggesting that Foreman and his manager ought to have rejected the fight out of hand on moral grounds, money talks and at 154 who brings more cash than if Pacquiao enters the division. You can't blame those guys for wanting to cash in

    Even though Foreman appears like the safest bet for an 8th title, he does provide some matchups problems due to his height, skills, and defensive manner. Even if Pac wins it could be an ugly fight, Cory Spinks seems like easy pickings right now as his legs are completely gone. Plus SPinks never did have much of chin.

    Yes, thank you Freddy, I do agree that Foreman would be a dud. Pac would just run his train all over him for ten to twelve rounds just to win another belt in another so-called weightclass. I like Bradley much much better - - I think this would be a better matchup than Mayweather. Also, as another option, I would not mind Pac fighting Margaritto (would be extremely entertaining), or, perhaps, Mosley or Berto, whoever wins. Hell, let Pac rest a bit and put him in a fight in June against Mosley; this would be the historical fight that everyone's looking for.

    I'd rather him finish his trilogy with JMM, then go on to unify WW and retire.

    I really hope its Bradely but Gary Shaw will screw it up.
