guys pardon me, i know this is off-topic but i couldnt help expressing my disappointment, as a fight fan and a filipino myself, on manny pacquiao.He maybe has great hands, power and speed altogether makes him an exciting fighter but I think he has no intention of giving JMM a 3rd fight after marquez calls him out. here's an excerpt from the philiipine star:
Manny Pacquiao, who had to move up to two weight classes to gain a crack at Oscar de la Hoya, plans to stay as welterweight even as he expressed his desire to fight Juan Manuel Marquez the third time around.
In an interview with Fightnews.com, Pacquiao said he would want to stay and fight at 145-147 despite the general sentiment on the Filipino icon being too small for the welterweight class.
“I would fight Juan Manuel anytime if the negotiations are okay and if he is willing to fight me at 145 or 147 pounds – because I plan to stay at that weight,†said Pacquiao.
Talks of a rematch with Marquez have made the rounds ever since the Gen. Santos native edged him out with a controversial split decision earlier this year.
Marquez, who has been craving for another shot at world’s pound-for-pound champion, has gone up to 135 pounds and now holds the Ring Magazine lightweight belt after defeating Joel Casamayor last month.
But with Pacquiao apparently serious on staying as a welterweight, Marquez’s dream of squaring things off with the Filipino champion may not happen after all.

IMO, thats a sign of fear. He's got no class IMO.i am fuckin disappointed at him. If you're truly a warrior, no ducking pls pacman. Its pathetic, Money Pacquiao.
