De La Hoya: Pacquiao makes fighters lose on the scales 1st

[generalbulldog]

sure sidorenko was a world champion once upon a time but he's tiny compared to donaire, he's 34 years old and he had only had two fights in the last 2 1/2 years before fighting donaire. again, he was the perfect opponent to make donaire look good. also the perfect opponent to hype up the montiel fight.

To be fair, although the guy Donaire fought looks much smaller than him, the guy Donaire beat was a career bantamweight and this was Donaire's 1st fight in the division. There are no height divisions in boxing but weight divisions.

general,

so you don't think sidorenko was handpicked to make donaire look good? are you eff'ing kidding me? look, the guy was old, slow, small, and he hit as hard as a minimumweight. OF COURSE sidorenko was handpicked. do you think arum was going to risk a montiel fight against a dangerous opponent? come on dude, quit drinking that damned kool-aid and you'll be fine.

Sidorenko was a former title holder that was a career bantamweight, it was a decent win for Donaire, a tuneup fight for a much bigger fight which in boxing history are littered with it.

again, sidorenko was carefully handpicked to make donaire look great. and hey, donaire passed the test with flying colors. but until he fights someone with size and who can punch, i'm not ready to anoint him as the next great thing!
