Pacman. Barrera, Arum, GBP?

Pacquio, Barrera, Top Rank, Golden Boy, is this a Circus? GB offering 5 million to Pacquio? Pacman is worth more than that.....if Arum is in Philipines is because something big is going on. Otherwise he will be in Ixtacalco Mexico city offering 5 million to barrera to fight Pacquio (u know Barrera left Forum Boxing for Money like all boxers do) but Barrera is in his Way out. I understand Pacman is smart and wont fight under GB because he does not need Barrera. Everybody knows whos going to win. Pacquio´s got big fights down the road. Who needs this fight? Barrera because he´s almost gone and HBO does not want barrera to do Showcases (for Millons) like the two he had this year. Barrera looks for money not glory. HBO BOXING is for warriors (like Gatti) not for dancers like Barrera. Isnt it HBO BOXING? Lets see what HBO brings to the table next year. Thanks HBO but please dont let Barrera do more Showcases because i wont pay. Texasfan.

Sika gave Calzaghe a tougher time than that but I am not one to rag on Calzaghe I knew he was a good fighter after he beat Charles Brewer. I really wish he would step up his comp here in American and actually fight Taylor. If not I would settle for B-hop. I am still rooting for Manfredo though.

They have both fought twice in 2006. Manfredo has almost no chance against Calzaghe, but he should put a better show on than Lacy, not that that's a bar to set.

NO! Mora didn't get a good trainer like Manfredo. Freddie Roach!!! I think Manfredo has progressed more than Mora. Losing just motivated him more to get better. Mora on the other hand has been looking lost and not confident in his fights since the contender, where as Manfredo is not afraid to go in and get the job done.

Also remember that Manfredo is now working with the best trainer in the world and I don't think Calzaghe will be able to knock him out.

Taylor will whip Calzaghe, if his gets through manfrado. That is the reason why Wright dont want the rematch.
Manfrado will show Calzaghe a couple of things. He has ring smarts, and is well rounded. Unlike Jeff Lacy.

"To be the best you have to perform at your best and not just show that you did a good job. That is what happened to Winky he didn't win because he didn't proof his point clearly to the public. I like Talylor more is just my opinion.....
"
This post above doesn't make any sense. The public would mean you, me, and everyone else who watched the fight. Guess what, we didn't get to judge who wins the fight. The judges are the ones who got to select who won the fight. We have nothing to do with that decision. I don't agree with Winky running for the last round but at the same time he should have had match locked regardless. The only reason I don't agree with him running is because it makes for a boring ending. PBF isn't going to work extremely hard in the 12th round when he thinks he has the match won, and neither is Winky. Nobody can argue that PBF isn't a great fighter.

Both fought within the last weeks and winky looked better than taylor, but both won. Let them do it again so winky can win on the cards this time!
