By Dave Lahr: The more and more I think about it, the better off Manny Pacquiao was by not choosing to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. I think Mayweather would have totally dominated Pacquiao from start to finish with his movement and pinpoint punching, and I see the fight as one-sided slaughter. But here’s the deal: by not facing Mayweather – a fight that Pacquiao might have taken a beating in – Pacquiao can continue on with his winning streak become even a bigger star by picking up wins over the likes of Joshua Clottey.

Pacquiao-Mayweather, The Saga Continues
by Kaygee Ocampo: When the news broke out that Pacquiao-Mayweather fight will be set on March 13, the news was too good to be true, however as they say, some good things never last. Demands were raise from both camps, demands that generate million questions from boxers and boxing fans alike. Demands that generate doubt to solidify the legacy of Money and Manny. Demands that set the fight not to happen. Demands that if could be answered from both camps with evidences, will turn the dream fight into reality.

Pacquiao: “I will abide by the NSAC requirements like in all of the fights in boxing history, including all of my fights”
Boxing’s pound-for-pound champion Manny Pacquiao became more incensed at Floyd Mayweather Jr., Floyd Sr. and executives of Golden Boy Promotions (GBP) for twisting facts and coming up with false statements that intended to cover up the mess that they created even as they put the blame on the Filipino and his team for the snag of talks to make the projected biggest fight in history from happening.
“I can’t believe these guys can lie without batting an eyelash and they would even make it appear that I am the culprit for the delay of the fight and saying that I don’t want it to happen,” said Pacquiao in Tagalog, as he released part of the information that he has been keeping—proof that Mayweather Jr. directly accused him of performance enhancement drugs (PED) use..
The Legendary Pacquaio vows to knock out Mayweather
By Amar Jahangir: Manny Pacquiao looks set to fight Floyd Mayweather Jnr on March 13 after agreeing to a proposal from Bob Arum. Pacquiao’s adviser Michael Koncz said Arum presented the fighter with the proposal at a two-hour breakfast in Manila on Friday. “The requests of Manny were so realistic that Arum doesn’t feel it’s a problem and it’s pretty much a done deal,” Koncz said.
Manny Pacquiao: Is there any need to criticise him
By Peter Wells: It’s a horrible thing to read all these articles on this website, targeting Pacquiao to be a cheat, and a poor fighter. This man should be respected, he deserves it, and the likes of Manuel Perez and Liam Santiago really get under my skin. If you don’t like the guy then just keep it to yourself instead of telling us every week why you think he’s so rubbish. But in the real world, we real boxing fans know he is the best boxing in the world, and we all give him credit for him.
The Manny Pacquiao Wars Part III: The Perez Menace
By Steve Lewis: This final part of this trilogy will be a “compare & contrast,” involving the predictions of a group previously mentioned in the 1st and 2nd installments of this trilogy: those who like to stir the pot up just to get a reaction from the Pacquiao fan base.
To reiterate, there are Monday Morning Quarterbacks who “player hate,” and player haters who “Monday morning quarterback,” but there are those who do both for the sake of getting a reaction, and consequently, to garner attention for themselves.
Will the winner of Pacquiao-Mayweather fight Mosley?
By Eric Thomas: A question that has been on the minds of some boxing fans is whether the winner of the proposed Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao bout choose to do the right thing and fight World Boxing Association welterweight champion Shane Mosley or will the winner opt to ignore Mosley and go in a different direction? It would be hard to crown the Pacquiao vs. Mayweather winner the top fighter in the welterweight division if they leave Mosley as unfinished business. Of course, Mosley has to win his January 30th bout against Andre Berto for him to proceed ahead against the winner of Mayweather-Pacquiao.
If Pacquiao-Mayweather happens, what’s the next step for both fighters?
By Jason Edrei Calub Santos: Everywhere I go, everybody or at least two people are arguing or talking about the most likely upcoming fight between the two most dominant fighter in boxing, Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. Every boxing fan out there is asking for it, as said before “a fight of this magnitude” is needed in the sport of boxing. But what would be the aftermath of a so-called mega fight?
Floyd Mayweather Snr: ”Pacquiao can’t fight at all” – News
By Liam Santiago: Legendary boxing trainer and expert Floyd Mayweather Snr has now had time to analyze the Pacquiao/Cotto fight in more detail and, like myself and many other boxing experts, he is not impressed with Pacquiao. Pacquiao can not fight someone who goes back (like Mayweather), he doesn’t move his head and he rarely fights at the normal weight limit. Mayweather said to Fight Hype, ”I don’t even think he is a good fighter no more.”
Nate Campbell: ”Pacquiao aint beating these guys at their actual weight”
By Liam Santiago: Thank you Nate Campbell. Finally, someone with some sense. Manny Pacquiao has really been boiling my kettle lately with his wins over fighter’s who were either shot, weight drained, or shot and weight drained. However, I am certainly not alone in my thinking, lightweight legend Nate Campbell sides with me. Speaking to fight hype Campbell said, ”that two pounds to get down to 145 must have really hurt him”.
