Should be a decent scrap tonight, Holt & Diaz are both former champs.

thanks for the reminder:)

teddy atlas said pac was hurting his legacy for fighting oscar, hatton, cotto, clottey, margo and mosley. brian kenny asked him so who did he skip berto:-\, atlas said no. atlas said bradley:-\

hahaha as expected since Sergio Martinez was on site atlas wants PAC to face sergio:-\
this guy is hard to please:( i just think this guy wants to see pac lose period.

i have a gut feeling atlas just wants to see pac lose he wants pac to face sergio martinez:-\ so he could take his hat off to the guy.

I agree with Atlas, as great as Manny has been, his opponents have all been about timing and opportunism. Cotto, after a beatdown. Margarito, after a beat down. Mosley, 40 and off of 2 poor showings. It's timing and opportunism. And now Marquez at a CW. He could have appeased the public and came down a bit to make the fight seem more equal. But no, CW's in his favour too. Smoke and mirrors.

Atlas is just saying what many of us feel about Pac.

Pac/Martinez at 154? Why the hell not?

Diaz is already cut from a clash of heads.

Hey guys, post your comments in killersheeps' thread.. we don't need 2 FNF threads... thanks.. ;)

Yes, I was getting confused with the two threads thing. :p

PAC's fight night weight ave. is 148 lbs vs Sergio's 171 lbs last time out. Bro that's a whopping 23 lbs disadvantage, add to that the reach advantage. Pac's speed is also neutralized here.

Holt is just a much bigger guy, he looks like a welterweight fighting a lightweight.

fair enough but putting things in perspective, PAC is merely a small sized junior welter if not a bloated lightweight at best. but to say bradley is better competition is a fallacy. do you really think Bradley stops Hatton, Oscar and Cotto? or beat the shit out of margarito? put a scare on Mosley and Clottey? I'm sorry if im making a fnf thread look like a PAC nut loving post;D
