Boxing fans, why can't we just?
be happy that the two best fighters in this generation will be back in the ring in the Fall? Pacquiao is facing Marquez, who gave him hell in two fights and is coming of a string of huge victories and regardless of weight or the weight limit, they'll both be the same weight come fight night so it should be a non-issue.
Money is facing Ortiz who is the next highest ranked welterweight after Pacquiao...and regardless if he's ready, or seasoned, or whatever your opinion is, he's the next best option for Money if Money isn't fighting Pac.
I for one am excited for both fights this fall...shouldn't most boxing fans be as well? Instead of criticizing their choice of opponents, shouldn't we just appreciate the fact that they'll both be in the ring in the Fall against quality opposition and maybe, just maybe it might lead to a superfight in the spring of 2012?
Odlanyer - my point is, no, it's not the fight we all want, but I think they're both taking on reasonably tough challengers...regardless of Victor Ortiz's past, he's the next best available welterweight...do I give him a chance against Money? Absolutely not, but it's not like Money's fighting Paul Spadafora.

Nah it gets boring that way!
Lol . You know how Pac fans and Mayweather fans have done to each other. They will always discredit either Floyd or Manny. If Manny fought and beat Godzilla, Mayweather fans will say Godzilla was dehydrated and if Mayweather beats King Kong, pac fans will say King Kong was pass his prime.

Neps, how can you be happy when you're disappointed and upset. We have been waiting for this fighter to end his vacation and expect that by the time he came back, we will see the fight we have been waiting for, but now he will fight Victor Ortiz. I understand that we can not force anybody to do what we wanted them to do but in all fairness, with all the words that was said and the things that happened because of it and to be treated like this is also unfair. It's unending waves of excuses, reasons and alibis. How sure are we that after this fight we can expect the fight we want. What adds to insult is to justify this fight as more credible than the other because Victor was young and holds a title. This fighter was drop out of consideration by GBP and labeled as a quitter after a lose and now even considered as a more credible opponent than the fighter we wanted him to fight. Manny for all this time was waiting for the opportunity to fight him, fighting other fighters to keep himself busy until the time that Floyd Jr. is ready to sign the contract but up to this point was receiving unimaginable criticism.
It is not easy to be happy as a boxing fan. There is a lot of unexpected happenings that will make anybody upset. I understand that we can not have everything in life but nobody can surely be happy if treated like a fool. Tune up fight? That is not the way I see it. I see ducking more than anything else.

it's hard to be happy. we are craving for manny ~ floyd fight not the past prime jmm maybe the mayweather ortiz is worth watching i don't know what happened to manny he's not the old manny the old manny is very exciting fighter who can knock an opponent out at this time i can say that
manny pacquiao does not have the heart of a boxer anymore he has the heart of a politicians instead
hard to accept that he's just making fights for money i don't believe that for now cause i can't judge his poor performance against shane mosley you can't punch a running guy i understand that but this time at the jmm clashed of november maybe we can see if my thought is real.
i'm happy for floyd cause he chooses ortiz over other fighters but i think cotto is more deserving than ortiz right cathee cotto for me is one of the best fighter of this time he's one of my favorite fighter after my fellow filipinos manny and donaire cotto is almost a complete fighter but one thing i like the best to him is his enormous heart and he box intelligently. and like me he's also using orthodox despite being a left handed but on the counter part of it i'm using southpaw despite being a right handed.

Exactly!
I thought I put the words from my mind in your mouth Nepster. Yesterday night I left this forum full of enthusiasm and hope only to find out the next morning this forum is full of hatred, racism and bash. I am a bit surprised to come back here seeing post and comments full of negative critics on both sides of the camps. I am just observing the forum the entire day and I thought both sides are like kids defending their childhood superhero on their respective villain where in fact at the end of the day all of us just want to see a good fight. Sad, but true. :(

I am happy that Money is back, and that Manny is going to be fighting again, but of course, I'd rather they fight each other. Just my take.

You right man, but someone has to put those haters in check.
