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

[Pavlik]

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.

[Pavlik]

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?

[KananKrus]

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..

[Gandalf]

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

Pac/Martinez at 154? Why the hell not?

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.

[Pavlik]

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
