Yeah its been a while. Maybe Pac should take on a 3K Battery type fighter that he can knock out in 2 rounds. I think he needs a longer break.
:D
well what about a timothy bradley, amir khan, alexander, andre berto, alfredo angulo, yuri foreman, canelo alvarez, erislandy lara, or if he wants to really get kinky, sergio martinez at 154? besides, isn't pacquiao the defending WBC 154 jr. middleweight champion? martinez already said he would go down to 154 to fight pacquiao so what's up?
or is it maybe that the above mentioned fighters are still young, in their prime and would pose a serious threat to the anointed one? hmmm!
As a fan. I would love that. this would be my preference
Berto and Bradley 2011 and then
Alvarez and maybe Sergio in 2012 if he is up for it.
but Pacquiao is 32 with 57 fights on the record. Other notable retired fighters didnt even have that many fights.
I wont hate him if he chose to have a little break in his next fight.
miron lang,
why are you concerned that pacquiao is 32? hasn't he been fighting older fighters? i do hope pacquiao is still around when saul alvarez is ready to fight him. let me ask you something, say pacquiao dominates shane mosley like he's favored to, what next? he won't fight sergio martinez because martinez is too good and too big. when is he going to fight the timothy bradley's, alfredo angulo's, and not to leave out erislandy lara, who is going to be a very good one someday. i want to see pacquiao against younger fighters in their primes. like pacquiao is now in his prime, so too do i want to see him fight opponents in their prime too!
The Spaniard is off again :D
The 3 great mexicans Morales, Barrera and Marquez were all 29 years old when he 1st fought them. Cotto and Margarito are younger than Pacquio when he faced them.
and also i am not concerned about Manny's age. I already stated whom i like him to face.
Im just not killing him if he opted for a break. Cmon stop creating so many sub topics. ;)
bulldog,
who was the last fast, in his prime fighter pacquiao fought who also wasn't coming off a loss? nuff said!
You or somebody else would still find fault in him after say, winning against Berto (you do want him to fight manny right?) if ever that fight gets made and manny plows through him. No I'm not saying it's gonna happen 100%. Just an example.
Here's another example that did happen recently. Before the pac margo fight, you favored margarito to win against manny. Yet after his win against margo, you're still saying he's a fraud/protected fighter. Where is the consistency in that? So even if he demolishes a fighter you picked would win against him you still won't give him props?
He's forcing his pañero Marquez to fight for the third time with Pac with the latest win with Katsidis, again im not against with Marquez but money talks its business even the last fight can't fill his own arena even with good undercards.
Before the Katsidis fight Marquez wants a 138-140 after he won, GBP and Marquez now wants to fight Pac even at WW. The funny thing is they didnt mention to strictly imply the OST, they just marketing too much Marquez for Pac asap which is opposite few months ago. I think both GBP and Marquez lost their DELICADEZA big time in this one.
See Mil was able favored Margarito right then, hes been with Robert Garcia, he will looking good at 150 etc . Now he's bashing his own compatriot like he's slow no skill etc, even sure not happy everytime with Pac wins.
Imo all answer will between Pac-Mayweather. Questions regarding the weights, ost, ,speed, prime etc. greatness of the two fighters in this era IF they met in the ring.
just watched the local news and according to pac, cotto and juanma will be going to the philippines to attend pacs bday party.
pac was also asked who amongst jmm, mosley or andre berto he wants to fight. pac replied "kahit sino" who ever.
no link as of the moment cause it was just showed on the news.
What happened to milmas after this comment? He seems to have disappeared from this thread. Just like when I asked him in another thread to provide a link that JMM asked Chris John for a rematch, he also disappeared from that thread. If he is to pop-up again in this thread, maybe he can respond to those.
Whoever Manny fights who doesn't have the name Floyd Mayweather, he will be criticized for it. He has been through a lot of wars already and his legacy has been secured. He could retire right now if Floyd is not going to fight him or he can be excused if he goes on fighting just to pad his pockets. People will watch him whoever he fights.
I just wished that he will fight JMM by next year but I won't blame him if that fight doesn't get made.
Can someone explain why Tim Bradley won't be the most logical opponent (outside PBF) for Pacquiao if he wins in January?
He isn't too green. He's strung quite a few solid wins together. He's proven at 147, he's african american, he's been on HBO a bunch. What is there not to like in him as an opponent?
Pacquiao is maxing out at 147. I don't think he'll fight any more junior middleweights. Of the noteworthy people at 147 or 140, besides Tim Bradley and Amir Khan, there is only Andre Berto.
In all honesty this is the more fair fight for PAC out there somebody close to his weight, maybe with a little tweaking in the promotions Bradley can help sell this fight and not just rely on PAC's name. The only reason I see Arum pushing for the Mosely fight because of 1 obvious reason money. If it was just PAC, he's not scared of anybody it's just not his type of calling somebody out.
a bradley/pacquiao fight would probably never happen. for one, bradley is in his prime and arum's excuse would be a bradley/pacquiao fight wouldn't sell.
PSL,
who's ass did you kick again? surely not the spaniards!!! the americans did. at the time, america was an emerging power while spain was but a shell of their heyday. if the americans had not defeated spain, spain would still be there if they wanted to.
hahhahaah yeah that might be the case.
Did you know that the only guys considered 'Filipinos' are those spanish that settled in the Philippines? whether they are Insulares (Spanish born in Spain) or Peninsulares(Spanish born in the Philippines).
IF you are a native they call you 'Indio'
