Another lousy reason to avoid Pacqiao. He knows that Pacquiao is waiting for the winner of Mayweather/Marquez fight

Who cares if he fights or not. The reality of the matter is boxing will be better off without Floyd.

Mayweather like to discredit Pacquiao whenever he talk in front of the media.

I was really looking forward to watching this fight on my birthday, July 18. Oh well, I will be tuned in whenever it does air. Get well soon Floyd!

For all of us who put on a pair of gloves before,- Floyd who is 31 has overtrained
overtrained possibly injuring his rib, he's not nervous about fighting
Marquez a guy who is ranked #2 only because boxing is on crutches right
now. How can a guy like Pacquiao beat floyd, he doesn't move
around te ring well enough. P.S- We have all seen Pac Man take
numerous beatings including one to a washed up Erik Morales

Pacquiao is a great fighter but he can't dance with Mayweather. Mayeather is too quick with his footwork and has the best defense in the game nuff said.

juan manuel marquez is the best boxer after he finish with mayweather he will beat down pacquiao...

I should say that weblogs.newsday.com has lots of interesting information. Looks like the author did a good job. I will be coming back to weblogs.newsday.com for new information. Thank you.

Good Day. Just want to say i`m glad i found this site. Help me! I can not find sites on the: Bachelors degree in science. I found only this - navy bachelor Degree completion program. Although there are conventional colleges conferring information technology bachelor degrees but students prefer online universities over conventional due to following factors. Min bachelor degree in technical preferred. Thanks :rolleyes:. Vida from Iceland.
