Can’t wait to see this, Larios is comfortable fighting Pac cause he thinks he is just a blown up small guy. Come to think of it, Larios was the top dawg at Superbantam and Pac never faced the best at Superbantam jumped straight at Barrera at Feather. Plus roach said that Vazques’ win against Larios was lucky due to the headbutt.
Yeah what a coward to go right for Barrera.
I would not call him that. He was set to face Paulie Ayala when Barrera came into the picture and it was his desire to fight the best at the lower weights and he was never given a chance. Fortunately for him he took that fight and became what he is today. One of boxing’s brightest stars.

He has to be this intense to go against Larios
The question is is he anywhere near as intense though? Does not sound like it if any of the recent reports about his parting lifestyle,sleeping problems etc are anything to go by. Minty,you like these lower weight classes right? Who are your favourites??
Yeah, they are fast, furious and you’ll know who has that Sunday punch. I like of course, PAC, MAB and Morales. I was hoping Raheem would mix it up with these three. On the lower classes I like Villoria, Arce, JMM(when fighting an aggressive fighter) and Larios.
Good observation,but I think Pacquiao always takes some time off for partying and stuff,but then he takes things seriously and trains hard,he’s almost supernatural at the moment,the only way I see him getting beaten is by being outboxed,any1 who stands toe to toe with him is fucked.
Yup! Barrera gave up on that idea in the middle rounds of their fight but could not stay away from PAC. I think he has a valid arguement about his lack of training on their first fight. I love to see the rematch, see if he can outbox Manny.
both of you guys get Cool Clicks from me,good points. I agree,any true MAB fan knows that was not Marco in there but having said that,even at his peak,can he tame Pacman?? I definitely think the second fight would be a cracker. I think EM showed the way to beat Manny in the first fight,jab,stay outside but when you have to go war,bring it allllll with you! I also remember Manny when he was younger being vulnerable to the body,he went down a few time from body shots,someone should work on that!
Arce is the man for at the lower weights,I don’t think Viloria Darchinyan,Pongsaklek, can beat him! I alos loooove Calderon and Viloria,Boom Boom Bautista is cool too,a Pinoy Trinidad!
Calderon is my favorite little man,and I ain’t biased for being puertorican,I just love his style,too quick and slick for every1 at his weight class,such a shame that those lower weights dont draw any attention,just Imagine Iron Boy at feather if he was like 5’5.
PAC has raised a couple of knots since his win against MAB. MAB can outbox anyone when he’s 100% should be a hell of a fight. Am going with PAC on this one. He may add another dimension to his game come fight night.
No one can beat Arce at this point. Maybe give Villoria a couple of more fights he may stand a chance. But now I really can’t see anyone beating him.
I sooooo agree,these little guys do NOT get the credit which they deserve and most of their fights are exciting too!
Again good points and again I agree 100%, and even if Viloria gets better,I just don’t see him stopping Arce. What do you guys think of Martin Castillo and Rafael Marquez? Marquez is one of my faves,don’t you think he should be in or at least on the fringe of P4P lists?
Yeah! I like Rafael Marquez he has an absolute opposite style than JMM. Very exciting, uses his power well. I was waiting for him and Larios to get it on but didn’t happen.
I heard he is fightin Silence Mabuza in a rematch…I wonder what JMM is going to do nex though!! I want him to start calling out people,it’s now or never,he’s 31,he needs to step it up!! How do you see the Larios fight with Pacman going bro?
Dangerous fight for PAC. Larios was a World Champ and a big guy. When he mentioned that PAC is just a small guy blown up, that’s true he’s really a FW even started at minifly(108). Larios is full of confidence so PAC should not look at this as a tune up fight. But I’m commending PAC for picking him. He really wants the best out there. Great fight, PAC by KO!
I too envisage a punch fest,hopefully fight of the year contender,Pac TKO6. Anyone know the specific date of the fight?
Yeah! July 2nd. Araneta Coliseum Manila. Local TV station will cover this.
Manny is the most exciting fighter right now but…
He should not look past Larios.
This man is a former champ and the only man to ever stop Wayne McCullough
Tougher fight than everyone thinks…
Larios is a tricky bastard…but Pac’ll take him out.
I just wathced a clip from a local TV. Larios is in weight training. He looks bigger and stronger than before. I hope Pac does not overlook this guy, don’t wanna see more upsets.
