Arum says Pacquaio will fight Soto on November 15

[OumaFan]

Another Arum says thread

its on boxingscene, says its just an easier fight to make than Valero cause Arum handles Soto

Just more news from me

[CFH]

Awesome, I'm a big fan of Soto, good to hear he's going to get a big pay-day, especially considering the travesty that he recently had to endure at the hands of Joe Cortez. Pac should handle him, but I'll still watch, hoping that Soto can somehow pull it out.

[OumaFan]

I don't think that highly of Soto's chances but it should be exciting

[Fenster]

I know you're the top "newsman" Ouma, but does this site (boxscene) just print every Arum quote as breaking gospel news

[Bx730NY]

If the odds are big enough, I'll bet on Soto. I may win big.

[Youngblood]

I'll watch it.

I'd much rather watch Soto fight Joe Cortez though....and maybe have Pac ref it?

[pacfan]

Seeing how Bobby Pac gave him hard time, before Bob was KO'd I mean, and how Guzman toyed with him very badly, I'd say Soto's got no chance. Again, I think Soto is just one of those over-rated punchers. After the near flop Diaz fight, I don't think the fight will happen; Soto's just not in Pac's class, IMO.

IT�S PACQUIAO � SOTO ON NOVEMBER 15

Hopefully not. Humberto Soto is my next favorite fighter in the jr lightweight-lightweight class. Humble and strong, could definitely pull an upset, but in this fight PAC has little to gain compared to fighting Valero who has a perfect record and who's feared because of his 1st round kayos.

[mexirican]

Pac is so due for a lose. Love watching him and his style but one of these young guns is gonna take him out.

I think there are a lot of people who feel Soto is a better fighter than Valero. I do.

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.

Thanks Ouma and AMAT, actually I'm just looking for available fighters for PAC in the juniorlight/lightweight division who are available that IFEVER PAC beats him, PAC will get credit for it. Don't get me wrong I don't mind PAC mixing it up with JMM, Guzman and Gamboa if they're available

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.

[Julius Rain]

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.

[Markusdarkus]

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.
