The Larios fight did not help Manny's career any, so he can always forget it, Mr. Nathanielz. It was not one of his defining moments. Everyone knew and knows that it was a warm-up for Morales III. Manny is correct is saying, a fight with Chi won't help him, except financially. So, it is reasonable for Manny to make sure that that part of the deal is covered to his liking.
Against Larios, Manny had a 3rd round scare. But that was about it.
Chi is a tad better challenge than Larios. He gave Morales fits. And, I think a few "fits" shall also be just about the best that he can do when he faces Pacquiao. Pacquiao is too quick for him.

I don't mind Pacquiao taking on the Larioses and the Chis between and after the Moraleses. He can even have a Christ John, if he likes and finds it worth his while.
I'll even buy PPV of the Chi fight, but I'll have to take a pause for a fight with John.
If he wants a "world" belt, he can take on Malcolm Classen of the IBF, although I heard Classen's management does not want to have anything to do with Pacquiao. They have reportedly shrugged off the prospect of their ward defending against Manny, saying, Manny is only #3 in the IBF SuperFEather contenders' rankings, and they want to face the IBF's #1.
Who's #1?
I checked IBF's website:
Mzonke Fana.
And #2 is Manuel Medina.
Before anyone rolls on the floor or boils over, listen to this: They also have Pacquiao at #13. Manny Pacquiao is therefore rated twice--#3 and #13. I guess, that's their way of making up for not making the P4P fighter of the division #1.Who knows?
"Rank him twice! That should satisfy our critics!"
I'm not kidding. Go and check it out...:
Or, maybe, they meant Bobby Pacquiao at #13 but wrote "Manny Pacquiao" instead. I won't be surprised if Bobby is who they want for Classen. But before any contract can be signed, they'd better remember Bobby's name, or Manny might just show up.Last edited by grayfist; 01-12-2007, 01:59 AM.
