Manny Pacquiao Boxing News

By Kirk Jackson: The fight between Pacquiao and Clottey on the 13th of march is a waste of time. The fight shouldn’t even be happening. To start off, no one really cares about this fight. The only real fight everyone wants to see is Pacquiao vs. Mayweather, which arguably would be one of the biggest [...]

By Esteban Garduno: Too many boxing fans are giving WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao way too much credit for his recent wins over Miguel Cotto, Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton, and seem to be using those wins as reasons for why Pacquiao will beat challenger Joshua Clottey on March 13th when they meet [...]

By Dave Lahr: There are reports that Manny Pacquiao suffered some leg pains in training for his March 13th fight against Joshua Clottey.

We are in fact ahead [...]

By Esteban Garduno: I think it’s for the best that Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. ended up not fighting.

By Dave Lahr: Former IBF welterweight champion Joshua Clottey isn’t impressed with World Boxing Organization Manny Pacquiao and sees him like any other fighter that he’s fought during his career.

By Sean McDaniel: If things don’t work out in putting together a fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the near future, the March 13th bout against Joshua Clottey could be the end of the 31-year-old Pacquiao’s 15 year pro career. It would be sad and unfortunate if the Clottey fight is the one that Manny [...]

By Sean McDaniel: If the March 13th bout between World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao and Joshua Clottey is going to succeed, it’s going to have to settle for a simple 30 minute special from HBO named “Road to Dallas.”
This has got to be a huge blow for the fight, because the HBO [...]

By Dave Lahr: Not much has been said about the possibility that WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao could lose and lose big to former IBF welterweight champion Joshua Clottey. After all, Pacquiao is little, and has been put in with a number of fading fighters in the past five years. And even recently, Pacquiao’s opponents [...]

By Chris Williams: In reading some of the comments of Manny Pacquiao’s fans, it seems many of them could careless whether he fights a good opponent or a crappy one. Many of them openly say they don’t care. That is so hard me to understand as a boxing writer. How can you not care? Is [...]

By Edgardo Javier: I can’t help thinking that Manny Pacquiao’s promotional team royally screwed up by picking Joshua Clottey as an opponent for Pacquiao to fight next.

By Chris Williams: Besides the Mach 13th main even between World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey looking more and more like a gross mismatch of epic proportions, the undercard frankly stinks to the high heavens in my view.

By Mark Ona: I believe that boxing supremacy lies in the gloves of its current WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao. Like Mayweather Jr., Pacquiao began his professional career at 106 pounds, and in their own separate ways; both have consumed their opposition in imposing fashions. For Pacquiao, however, an impeccable archive of victorious wins did [...]

By Mark Ona: The honor of having the pound-for-pound title next to your name is a prestigious one. One that says, that no matter what weight class a boxer is in, he is considered to be the best boxer in all of the sport. Although the title might be considered fantasy (because we will never [...]

By Eric Thomas: Whether World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao (50-3-2, 38 KO’s) fights Floyd Mayweather Jr. next after Manny dispatches his March 13th opponent Joshua Clottey, Pacquiao, 31, will likely be fighting former WBA welterweight champion later on in 2010.
