Arum says Pacquaio will fight Soto on November 15

[amat]

lol, where was that thread a few weeks back where all the Pac fans said Pac would never fight Soto and that he wasn't worthy?

Despite that, I'm glad this is happening. It will be entertaining. Maybe Soto will get someone who wants to fight him since according to him Guzman didn't want to. Hopefully it comes off, there really is nothing better out there and that includes Valero. After that and the dust on the division has settled, hopefully we get some type of superfight with any combination of Marquez/Guzman/Pacquiao. That's what I'm waiting for, this certainly isn't a bad filler, two very entertaining fighters.

Am I the only one who thinks Soto is a lot like Margarito? I mean in the ring, he reminds me a lot of Margarito.

I think offensively he may be a bit better than Margo, quicker (not surprising since he's a lower weight fighter) and sharper straighter punches.

He doesn't seem to have that same kind of walk through a baseball bat and smile durability that Margo has though. Not to say he's not durable, he's just not as hard to hurt as Margarito.

no!!!!!!!!!!!!! i wanted valero this november!!!!

Soto is a game fighter and all but I really wanted to shut valero down this november. IMO Soto is a better fighter than valero, easier fight to make but valero in the long run may look better under pacs win column.

If this happens, Soto is going to get a beat down. do you gusy remember the look in pacs eye when soto beat bobby? Ofcourse every bigger brother takes offences when he sees his little brother get beat. I know pac is a sportsman but IMO his going to pound soto, maybe worst than he did diaz.

Arum says a lot of things most of it BS!!

Good fight though and with Cotto stepping it up hopefully he will ignore what flaws he sees and put Pavlik in with another 160lb cham or a live 168lb`r.

i don't think it's going to happen. there are people in pac's camp who are unhappy over it. it's a high risk low reward fight for pac. i would rather have pac fight valero than soto if there's no other option. Pac should have been unifying with campbell while valero could face soto to get some U.S. exposure. pac might have to wait it out for the winners of JMM-casa, kats-diaz and campbell-guzman or go for julio diaz in the meantime.

Another guy coming off two defeats . .

Pac needs to fight guys that win fights .

That's what I'm saying before that fighting Valero looks better on PAC's resume. An undefeated kayo artist and younger than PAC, if PAC knocksout Valero nobody can discredit him for that. Actually they should put Yuriokris Gamboa against PAC considering this guy has well over 400 amateur fights that's fair enough. Well we can't pit PAC against Guzman right now because he will be fighting Campbell.

Soto is a quality opponent. Anyone who watched his last fight knows he didn't lose it. His loss to Guzman is no shame, Guzman is an undefeated fighter.

Soto is a much more dangerous opponent than Valero IMO.

You're lying. I never said that.

[brucelee]

by the way, PAC vs SOTO?


I will definitely not watch it!!!!

[Pavlik]

For me as long as they're within the junior lightweight to lightweight limit I wouldnt worry about it. PAC is already a LEGEND in my eyes.

I use to worry about PAC fighting Juan Diaz, Edwin Valero, Joan Guzman, Humberto Sotto, JMM and the list goes on but not anymore.

PAC has enough skill/ firepower to beat these guys.

[the wiz]

I think this will definatley happpen. Arum will have Valero fight on the undercard and try to generate some pub for Valero for a Pac-Valero fight early next year. I thought Soto would put up a fight before Guzman really took him to school. I think Pac will score a 5th roundn KO.

Boxrec have Soto lined up to fight Barrera in September then Pac in November. I thought Barrera was retired? He's hardly gonna fight the 2 of them in 2 months

Nah Soto will either fight one or the other. There appears to be some resistance to Pac - Soto even though Arum says its easier to make than the Valero fight so Barrera looks more likley . . .Especially if the rumours are true that he is leaving golden boy, annoyed that the promotional company havent got him any fights since November 07
