PacMan's Corner

[wizard23]

there's still time left. gayweather claims that they offered a compromise of 14 days before the fight for blood testing. baka pag nainis si pacman ay biglang pumayag na sya. wala nang lusot si gayweather pag pumayag si pacman!!!

Pacquiao gets nod from Holyfield, Lewis

 

Former world heavyweight champions Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield have shared their sentiments over a possible showdown between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

 

"Well, until you beat the guy, Pacquiao's the best and that's the thing. Floyd hasn't done that yet," Holyfield told FightHype.com. "When Floyd left, he became the best because Floyd left, but now that Floyd is back, I guess they have to get it on to see who is the best."

 

Mayweather held the No.1 pound-for-pound ranking of Ring Magazine until he retired in 2007. The title now belongs to the Filipino boxing icon.

 

Holyfield thinks that fighting Pacquiao immediately after coming out of retirement is not a good move for Mayweather.

 

"I don't think that would have been smart. I don't think he needs to fight him immediately. That guy is good," Holyfield said of "Pacman."

 

"I think he'll give Floyd trouble. He's got fast hands too, he's left-handed and he's got a lot more speed than pretty much all the guys Floyd has fought," continued the four-time heavyweight champion.

 

Talks about a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight gained ground after Floyd Jr. came out of retirement last May.

 

Mayweather was supposed to have his comeback fight on July 18 against Juan Manuel Marquez but he sustained a rib injury during training. The fight has been postponed.

 

“Whether or not he believes that or if the fight will even happen, we will have to wait and see, but I would like to see it," Lewis, meanwhile, said of the Pacquiao-Mayweather match up.

 

“I think Floyd’s got the talent to beat Pacquiao,” said Lewis, who was recently inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

 

Lewis, a three-time heavyweight champion, also has praises for Pacquiao for his accomplishments in boxing.

 

“He’s putting the Philippines on the map and showing the world that the Philippines is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to boxing,” he said. “I’m glad they don’t have any heavyweights.”

 

“He’s a hero in his country and he could quit fighting any time now and become President,” he added.

 

Lewis said the Filipino reminded him of himself in the way he prepares for each fight.

 

Lewis and Holyfield faced off twice in the ring. The first Lewis-Holyfield fight in March 13, 1999 ended in a draw. Eight months later, Lewis beat Holyfield by unanimous decision to retain his WBC heavyweight title and win the WBA, IBF and vacant IBO heavyweight belts.

It will be good for Pac to have the welterweight championship unification bouts on his radar if he successfully defends his current belt. It will surely cement his status and legacy in the boxing history.

I'll just play the conspiracy card and believe that both fighters(Pacquiao/Mayweather) wants a tune up fight before they face off.

Izenberg: Finally, sounds of silence from Floyd Mayweather camp as bout with Manny Pacquiao appears to be off

By Jerry Izenberg/Columnist Emeritus

"Sentence first — verdict afterwards.’’

“Alice in Wonderland” by Lewis Carroll

 

‘‘This is all coming from Floyd Mayweather Sr. Just because he’s a convicted drug dealer doesn’t make him a drug expert.”

Freddie Roach, Manny Pacquiao’s trainer

 

Back when O.J. Simpson filled the television screens of America ad nausea, a woman named Rosa Lopez was making chopped liver out of her own testimony on behalf of Mr. Simpson. So the late Johnnie Cochran tried to untangle the net she was throwing over her own credibility by asking:

 

‘‘Isn’t it true, Mrs. Lopez, that in your native language ‘yes’ often means ‘no’ and ‘no’ often means ‘yes’?’’

 

When she answered ‘yes’ nobody knew what the hell she was saying, including Mrs. Lopez. But half the courtroom nodded its collective head.

 

So where have you gone Rosa Lopez?

 

Every time Oscar De La Hoya, Richard Schaefer, and assorted Mayweathers speak, write or grunt, a hungry America is in desperate need of a translation. On Tuesday, the high commands of Team Mayweather and Team Pacquiao were sequestered for nine hours with a retired judge named Daniel Weinstein. A source familiar with the negotiations says that some of the time the warring orators were actually in separate rooms.

 

The issue of course was the Mayweather-De La Hoya-Schaefer Axis inference that Manny Pacquiao is in need of special blood tests to prove he isn’t on some kind of steroid or human growth drug for which he shows no symptoms in the first place. Not that any of them except Floyd Sr. has actually said he is, but on any given day Floyd Sr. will say anything.

 

But the rest of Floyd Jr.’s Mouseketeers are careful to employ what one day historians will cite as the Tevye Approach. You may recall Tevye as the hero of “Fiddler on the Roof” whose answer to everything was ‘‘I think not ... but on the other hand ...’’ Inference is their daily bread.

 

Before we parse the actual logic and vocabulary these bafflers use let us pause for a moment to thank Judge Weinstein.

 

Thank? Hell, that doesn’t begin to say it. Say huzzah, your honor. Say bless you your judgeship.

 

After all, the judge has done what nobody else could. He has imposed a gag order on this chorus of wounded water buffaloes. And let us give praise for the beautiful sound of their silence Wednesday morning. Wednesday, he even gave us a bonus by putting them on a private conference call.

 

That silence in itself speaks volumes. Telling fight promoters not to speak is like trying to put toothpaste back in the tube. But thanks to the judge we now have temporary but blessed silence.

 

One of the solutions on the table would have both men fighting somebody else in March and then meeting each other in the late summer or autumn. There is too much money at stake not to work this out. After all it was the promoters who started the Great Blood Debate and the last promoter not to believe in the healing power of a fistful of millions hasn’t been born yet and both his potential parents are dead.

 

What started as what passed for strategy will end up as a busted poker bluff.

 

Late Wednesday night, Pacquiao's promoters pronounced the fight with Mayweather dead after mediation didn't resolve the fighters' differences.

 

It looks as though Pacquiao will fight Yuri Foreman in Las Vegas in March while Mayweather will fight Paulie Malignaggi in either Vegas or New York that same month. Both fights should be attended by acres of empty seats.

 

What intrigues me, however, is whether Judge Weinstein will have anything to say about the fact that Golden Boy, which has a small piece of Pacquiao’s contract, is attacking the fighter it allegedly represents on behalf of the fighter it wholly represents for this proposed fight.

 

Unless you have been collecting rare butterfly specimens in the Mato Grosso these past three weeks you damned sure know that the sound and fury from the Mayweather, Sr., Oscar and Mr. Schaefer is over their obsession with the state of Pacquiao’s blood. They have already had three suggestions who should take it and why it should be drawn. If you didn’t know better you’d have to wander whether they are fight promoters or desperately anemic vampires.

 

Well, beginning with Schaefer, logic has been on the longest lunch break with this group since Judge Crater grabbed his coat and told his secretary ‘‘see you in a few decades — maybe.’’

 

When Golden Boy (the company) represented Shane Mosley, an ‘‘accidental’’ (he said) steroid user in the Balco scandal for his fight against Zab Judah, it was Mr. Schaefer who babbled:

 

‘‘Whatever test the Nevada Commission wants Shane will take but we are not going to do other tests (as Judah demanded). Shane is not a cheater and does not need to be treated like one.’’

 

That was then and this is now.

 

And ‘‘now’’ (with neither logic nor evidence) he explains his demand for outside blood tests by saying ‘‘I have educated myself since then. I know the difference between blood and urine tests.’’

 

Congratulations, Richard. Here’s a hint in case you forget. One liquid is red. One is yellow. The man’s thirst for knowledge knows no bounds. With a banker’s arrogance he says he knows more about steroids than most sports writers. He claims they don’t know the difference between blood and urine testing. Funny, most of us have been writing about them for decades while he was allegedly ‘‘educating’’ himself.

 

Meanwhile the actual Golden Boy (fairly tarnished by the beating Pacquiao gave him) exhibits the kind of logic worthy of “Alice in Wonderland.” After Pacquiao made him quit on his stool, he said that Pacquiao really didn’t hit hard, leading you to believe Oscar had been stoned into submission by a barrage of wet marshmallows. Now he suddenly reverses his field and says Pacquiao’s punches felt the same as Mosley and Vargas (both flunkers of steroid tests). As a blogger he is about as good a fighter as he was that night he froze against Pacquiao.

 

If the fight does not get made for March — and I think it won’t — they could still fight in the late summer or early fall.

 

Remember this is boxing and the word ‘‘never’’ is not in its vocabulary.

 

 

 

 

 

***can't wait na matuloy ang laban ni manny & floyd, i really think manny will destroy floyd

[mobidick]

is it true na si clottey na raw makakalaban ni pacman? diba natalo ni cotto yun bago sila maglaban ni pacman? kumita naman kaya ang laban nila ang masama nyan baka kay clottey pa sya matalo di bale sana matalo kung malaki naman kikitain nya

[mobidick]

im still hoping na matuloy pa rin laban nila ni gayweather malay natin nag papa importante lang para lalong pag usapan ano kaya i bloop ni pacman sabihin nya payag na sya pakuha ng dugo 48 hrs before the fight ano kaya masasabi ni floyd wala na sya dahilan para umurong siguro malokoko yun sa kakahanap ng dahilan para dina matuloy ang laban hay...puro kasi kayabangan baka aminin na lang nya na hinde nya talaga kaya si pacman o duwag na talaga sya kung ako kay floyd mag retired na lnag uli sya

[john2004]

gusto munang mag SCOUT ni mayweather sa laban ni

manny sa March,2010, pag aralan niya muna latest

techniques ni pacman, at kapag kabisado na niya,

tsaka siya mag decide lumaban kay manny kahit

wala nang blood test at iba pang mga test na dati

namang hindi ginagawa. at isa pa, magpapalakas

muna ng katawan si floyd bago lumaban.

[hopia_mani_papkorn]

clottey na klaban ni pacman.. medyo ala wenta.. nothing to gain for pacman.. dpat foreman nlng for the record.

 

---

Well .. Unlike Foreman ... Clottey is a more exciting opponent for Manny .. additional mucho for Manny ....

 

He was never knocked out in his 3 losses ... His last loss at the hands of Cotto was via split decision which .. fans .. also agreed that it may have gone either way ...

 

CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERS!!!

[magtatah0ng]

Mystery opponent naman daw kay Mayweather (link).

 

Parang kutob ko si Oscar Dela Hoya yan, medyo desperado na sila sa pera eh puro talo mga manok ng Golden Boy last year. Saka kailangan nila ng pambayad sa demanda.

[robbietan]

Team Pacquiao's decision to fight Clottey makes sense - another nonstop action packed thriller in the making. Clottey is no pushover - 39-3 with 20 KOs. even george bush sr mentions -"who needs chickenweather" ?

 

chickenweather is aiming to fight puli malignogago - whose record of 5 (wtf FIVE !!!!) KOs out of 27 wins smacks of another ballet show for gayweather. it must be remembered that this is the same ogag fighter who suggested that Pacman is into drugs, probably to hide his incredibly pathetic KO record.

 

examiner.com points an old article about chickenweather using drugs for his hands. drugs that is illegal in all states except Nevada. which could be why chickenweather will never fight in Dallas, he will lose the drug test there. full article at

[vandalwind]

yeah, nice desicion going to clottey, mas action filled ang expectation kpg si pacman na ang laban...

[beastmode]

Kung sakaling natuloy yung laban, both Mayweather and Pacman will undergo bloodtests di ba? Kasi parang sa news doing the test on Mayweather was never or rarely mentioned.

[chicboy18]

of course both athletes would undergo the same tests

Pag napag-aralan niya latest technique ni Pacman, may bago na naman siyang technique pag naglaban sila
