    From Yahoo:

    Is Arum serious?? What the hell is going on here?

    While both are pretty awful options I think Yuri would beat Malignaggi in a fight? Don't you? He's much bigger and it's not like Malignaggi is special.

    At least Yuri offers some sort of challenge/accomplishment as he's bigger and has a belt. Malignaggi is a borderline top five junior welter. Who wants that.

    Umm.. Foreman is undefeated, and is alot bigger.. plus hes a Top Rank fighter and would give Pac an 8th title in 8 weight classes should he win, makes sense. I want to see Pac smash Paulies face in but I dont want Paulie to benefit from the pay day since hes such a **** talking little *****

    Arum makes more money when he owns both fighters.

    "Arum said he is no longer considering Paulie Malignaggi as an alternative opponent for Pacquiao on March 13. He said he did research and discovered that few believe Malignaggi would have been a credible opponent."

    :lol: Arum must have done his research at the ESB forums....

    yuri is better AND deserves the payday a hell of a lot more than paulie. i would love to see pac utterly destroy paulie, but i would much rather see him in a decent fight that actually has some kind of significance.

    OMG. paulie a more credible opponent than foreman. :patsch

    I'd have as much or more respect for pac if he fights yuri than floyd
    w/ all these bs stips.

    Foreman is a HIGHLY skilled technician who moves and is lightning fast.
    He is tall and rangy with a good punch arsenal.
    BAADDD fight for manny if you ask me. Either way, arum's greedy ass wins.

    They're both second raters. Paulie would be eaten alive by Bradley, and I don't even want to think what would happen to Foreman if he fought Paul Williams or Sergio Martinez.
    I just wish Mayweather and Paquaio would stop acting like ****s and sign to fight, so we don't even have to consider these uninteresting substitute fights.

    Yuri's far better of a challenge....at least being a natural 154lber and having a little more pop as a JMW than Paulie as a JWW

    right, Yuri has a bit more size .. being bigger then Paulie and doesn't have hand problems

    but I'd still see either fight ... Malignaggi or Foreman vs Pacquiao as a pretty heavy mismatch

    Yuri isn't bad at all.
    Yuri would get a win over Paulie pretty easily. Yuri's stochastic approach to fighting would bother Paulie greatly. Paulie's good with guys who are intending on coming forward to fight. Yuri is on the outside most of the time, occassionally jumping in to pepper his opponents with pretty impressive shots.... certainly enough to keep most honest.

    Both shite in truth but Yuri on paper is the harder fight.

    they both suck, but then again what else is new. pac and roach will ask that paulie come in at 134 or foreman come in at 149 and weigh no more than 152 1/2 on fight night.
