Why Yuri Forman

Because he's the tenth ranked light middleweight with only 8 KO's but he does have a title.....?

 

You say why YURI

He just won a title:rofl

Pac will fight him at a CATCHWEIGHT for the title.

Yuri will probably have to scale 148 just above the WW limit, just so they can spin it and say it not a WW fight

 

same reason why he fought diaz... an easy way for pac to pick up another belt.... and another cashout for Arum on one of his fighters who he believes have no future anyway...

 

Because it's all about "making history" bla bla. If Pac goes through with this he deserves all the grief he *should* get.

If it was Floyd this place would be in absolute uproar, ducking Williams, ducking Pac etc etc

Interesting that they had to make Cotto weigh 145 yet will take this fight. More hypocrisy.

 

This :deal

It could be worse,he could've chosen Mathew Htton instead.

 

Because they think he's an easy pick for a belt at 154 even though they said 154 is too much for Pac.

 

1) Easy pickings
2) Title in 8th weight class
3) Both Bob Arum fighters
4) He's the best they could come up with as a credible alternative to Mayweather.

 

Yuri will scale 148 just so it wont be considered a WW fight

 

Wouldn't Marquez be credible?

 

I was thinking the same thing mate, they make miguel drain himself and make 145, but manny can go up and fight at 154, thats if they dont make yuri drain himself and fight manny at a catchweight of 150 or something, this catchweight bull s hit is one of the reasons why i laugh when people try and compare pacman with duran

 

Although I don't agree with Pac/Foreman, it's a WAY WAY WAY better fight than PBF/Matthew Hatton.

Foreman is bigger and absolutely a skilled boxer. I wouldn't ever call myself a fan, but I'd rather watch Pac/Foreman than PBF/M.Hatton ANY DAY. Not that I'd pay for either. But, y'know, if I was given free tickets, etc

 

Maybe now your boy will fight Shane Mosley.

 

I would agree if that was the case. But that aint even quoted by any credible source that fight.

 

Mosley-Berto winner is his backup plan if a fight with Pac can't be made.
