Manny Pacquiao jabs Oscar de la Hoya
The 4th of July weekend marks a celebration of the birth of a revolutionary, freedom-inclined country in North America.
Memorable moments
The 4th of July weekend also represents the halfway point for 2009, a memorable period in the celebrity world that saw the passing (and deaths) of Farrah Fawcett, Ed McMahon, and of course, the King of Pop Michael Jackson. The latter has provided an outpouring of sorrow and tributes - a shadowy valley after the peaks and highs of recent prize fighting performances by Juan Manuel Lopez, Manny Pacquiao, Vladimir Klitschko, and Miguel Cotto.
So back to boxing.
Recapping boxing fans' predictions
Thousands of fight fans provided their predictions and thoughts on fights.
Your predictions
Most of you think that Floyd Mayweather, Jr. will beat Juan Manuel Marquez, a fight that has been rescheduled for September 19 in Las Vegas. That would have to be the majority assessment, although Marquez certainly can give the "Pretty Boy" fits, especially if the Mexican wants to take it to the distance and try to eke out a decision victory. And why not? You consider Marquez has Golden Boy Promotions' best fighter.
But you guys don't really want to see that fight. Ha! You will watch it anyway!
Mayweather vs. Marquez set for September 19
Most fans predicted a victory by Manny Pacquiao over Ricky Hatton. Correct. Very correct.
Who would win?
1. You think Floyd Mayweather, Jr. would beat both Miguel Cotto and Shane Mosley in a fight. (Too bad there are no indications that "Money" wants to fight them in order to test these ivory tower theories.)

In terms of who you would rather have Manny Pacquiao fight next . . .

Ha. Spoken like true fight fans!
Given that it's the 4th of July, I can't help but post a New Gingrich video quoting Abraham Lincoln. Inspiring.

mayweather got rib inury from a small a** irish lightweight lol marquez will hit him again in the body and pacquiao would kill him with a body shot
cotto and mosley should fight again, or mosley shoult take on paul williams. pac has been fighting bigger guys, mosley should do the same

paul williams would kill everyone at welterweight

Questions I will ask Mayweather if see him face to face.
1. Are you exciting?
2. If you are not exciting, why are you so boring?
3. Why are you docking Shane Mostly, Paul Williams, Miguel Cotto, Margacheato and other legitimate welterweights?
4. Are you scared of Pacquiao?
5. Do you love Juan Manuel Marquez? Why did you want to kiss each other during the presscon? Bwahahahahaha....hahahaha.
You guys, think of your questions for Mayweather.

any pacquiao hatters out there? im bored need shut someone up?
ya
may and mosley would beat pac
so would margarito
jk
Floyd Mayweather Jr must understand that not fighting the best in welterweights, the likes of Mosley, Paul Williams, Margarito, Cotto or even Pacman will be viewed by the boxing fans as ducking to maintain his "0" loss record.. that said, his record is no greater than the "0" losses of Valero, Guzman, Dawson and other fighters without nil at present... but if he fights and win against the best then maintained his "0" loss, thats another story.. unlike Pacman, who wiped out all his adversaries at the featherweights, moved up and annihilated legends and champions in the upperweights.. much can be said about Pac.. but comparing those to Floyd, well, Floyd is miles away...
i eat mang resty's poop, just like in the 2 girls 1 cup video
I know who can whoop Pacquiao's azz..
Pacquiao!!
i wonder if cotto can even hit pacquiao.pacman sure hit him easily coz he doesnt move alot.
ODLH VS. MARGARITO
pretty boy vs. pacmama (aling dionesia) is a blockbuster figth than floyd vs. marquez. or mosley vs. buboy fernandez.
B-HOP VS. RJjr. 2
POOH VS. MARQUEZ..LOL..
F.ROACH VS. FLOYD PAPA
hatton vs. ortiz. since golden boy also like to put losers against each other like upcoming bout juan diaz vs. maglinaggi. hey its an easy fight tomake both hatton and ortiz are golen boy fighters.
BOB ARUM VS. LARRY MERCHANT
buboy fernandez can whoop ortiz, juan, diaz and gaylinaggi..
Pacquiao is also ducking Valero. Valero is the real test for Pacquiao. Pacquiao can't withstand Valero's power on both fists. Pacquiao will go down once Valero's bombs will land. Arum and Roach know this. They are avoiding Valero like H1N1 virus. It's evident that pacquiao is scared of Valero. Pacquiao also ducked Guzman. The slick Guzman could have whooped Pacquiao's. Right Marley? Pacquiao have feasted on mostly shot and dehydrated opponents. His upcoming fight is against a shot Cotto. Yeah, Cotto is young but he's already shot. This is the truth Pacnuts..hehehe.
Shot Feaster- face reality my frend u are talking out ur azz. Paquaio's assitant fat Buboy can whoooop Valero and Guzman's azz!
OHH HERE WE GO!!! NOW COTTO IS WASHED UP BCUZ HIS FIGHTING THE PACMAN. DISCARDING COTTOS ACHIEVEMENTS
IF ANYONE HERE FOLLOWS BOXING PARTIME DONT TALK COMMENTS OUT YOUR AZZ!! FYI ALL FIGHTER IS
aling dionesia vs. mayweather sr.
shot feaster ur opinion is really deym funny.. valero 2 fight pacquiao.. bwahaaaa , that fight will b boring 1st valero dnt have a boxing skills i dnt even c if he can pass wiv marquez.. hes a good puncher but he need 2 have a good trainor 2 train him hw 2 defend and out box d oppenent.. so its so imposiible 2 have that fight..
Pac-Mom and Buboy fernandez shoudl also be in the Wapakman movie, doing a dance routine together
markg: I saw Valero's fght and he has tremendous power on both hands enough to knock down Pacquiao once it lands. Nobody can withstand his power. Even Mayweather will go down against Valero. Valero is monster. He has like plaster of paris on his hands. If Pacquiao is that great he should fight Valero. Valero is the real deal. His record is awesome - all by knockouts. I believe Pacquiao will be added to Valero's KO victims once they squared off on the ring. They can fight in Houston where Valero has a license. But again Arum ,Roach, and team pacquiao are avoiding Valero like a swine flu..Hehehehe.
in a bar rumble, who would win?
team pacquiao (manny, buboy, freddie, and Pac-Mom) vs mayweather family (junior, senior, roger)
shot feaster, why dont you eat the corn out of my sh** i bet u would like it
the two biggest mouths in boxing should fight against each other. they could make big money out of verbal advertisement.....mayweather vs darcinyan!!!!!!!
ShYt Feaster, can you name some of the boxers KO'd by Valero? No, you can't because they are not boxers but tuktuk drivers. Pacquiao rides a customized Harvey now, definitely a higher lever than the tuktuks Valero victims ride.
Shot Feaster must have lost a lot of money betting against the Pacman but it's true though that Valero will never face Manny not because he can't fight in Nevada but because he is a nobody just like Guzman. Say whatever you want it is a proven fact that he will not stand a chance against quality opposition whether he got that punching power or not.
All of Pacman's opponent suddenly became old and de-hydrated overnight after they got beat...i thought i heard that excuse before.
Tukmol and pinay maid, go back to cleaning the house. That's what you're good at. Hahaha..haha. Anyways, Pacquiao is really ducking Valero. In order to be great, you have to fight the best in the division. Valero is the best in the Lightweight division and is willing to go up to 140 to fight Pacquiao but Pacquiao is ignoring him... pretending that Valero doesn't exist. And the delusional Pacnuts are citing excuses that Valero is not popular and has no fanbase that will bring in the money. That's the problem Pacnuts. Money pacquiao is only fighting for money and not for greatness. How can he be great if he's avoiding the power monster Valero. Valero called him out a lot of times and even went to that island country but Pacquiao and his team were ignoring him because they that Pacquiao would be exposed who have feasting on shot and dehydrated opponents. Truth hurts pacnuts..hehhehe.
Valero????
Who is he anyway????
Has he fought elite fighters yet???
I believe not, who is he to fight Pacman????
he has to make a name for himself by beating elite fighters (Juan Diaz, Casamayor, David Diaz) because he hasn't really fought fighters who are top caliber like the Pacman did...
Yo.FootFeaster your a pac hater--just shut up! Valero only fought bus drivers and guys like you--ha ha ha
