not at all, alot of these nikkkas thinking this will be easy work for manny i just dont see it considering manny has looked mediocre his last 2 fight. i watched the peterson-bradley fight earlier today. even thought bradley isn't marquez, he's a underrated counterpuncher and boxer. even if manny wins, this aint no walk in the park for him.

President Barack Obama came out in favor of same-sex marriage last week, but he won't be able to count on support from boxing champion Manny Pacquiao.

The immensely popular boxer - and the first-ever to win titles in eight different weight classes - contradicted the President's views on same-sex marriage in a recent interview.

Speaking with the National Conservative Examiner and asked about the President's stance, Pacquiao was quoted as saying that "God only expects man and woman to be together and to be legally married, only if they so are in love with each other."

Last Wednesday, President Obama said of he and the First Lady, in an interview with ABC: "We are both practicing Christians, and obviously this position may be considered to put us at odds with the views of others, but, you know, when we think about our faith, the thing at root that we think about is, not only Christ sacrificing Himself on our behalf, but it's also the golden rule, you know, treat others the way you would want to be treated."

Pacquiao also went to his personal religious beliefs to illustrate his stance on the issue:

"God's words first... obey God's law first before considering the laws of man," he told the Examiner. "It should not be of the same sex so as to adulterate the altar of matrimony, like in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah of Old."

The charismatic fighter is a devout Catholic - and a Congressman in his homeland of the Philippines. His stance on same-sex marriage seems to be in line with his voting record in his home country - as he opposed a law last year that would make contraception accessible to most Filipinos and call for mandatory sex education.

The Pac-Man - long considered the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world - is listed at No. 4 on Forbes' list of most influential athletes in the world. His next fight is slated for June 9 against Timothy Bradley while boxing fans have long awaited a bout between Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr.

WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (40-0-1, 29KOs) may receive a very tall order for his September title defense – in the form of 6’3 Paul “The Punisher” Williams (41-2, 27KOs). There are very positive discussions taking place, says Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer, to finalize Alvarez-Williams as a pay-per-view headliner for September 15th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

“[Negotiations] are going very well. We had some very good meetings with his team, and with Canelo as well. As a matter of fact, [Golden Boy President] Oscar [De La Hoya] met with him today again. There are very good conversations. I met with the adviser for Paul Williams, Al Haymon, and we are working on that. We are working on trying to finalize the fight between Canelo and Paul Williams,” Schaefer told BoxingScene.com.

Nobody can dispute the danger involved. Williams, standing at 6’3 and having a reach of 82 inches, has a clear physical advantage over the 5’9 champion with a reach of 71 inches. Williams also has a very high workrate and he doesn’t get tired. But, Canelo is not intimidated and indicated to Golden Boy that he wants the fight. Everything appears to be moving in a positive direction in terms of a deal being reached.

Schaefer is confident that a win over Williams will open up the door for potential mega-events with Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Miguel Cotto.

“That’s what Canelo wants…he wants to fight the best. [Williams] has been one of the most avoided fighters. He’s an awkward fighter. He’s a different style from anyone that Canelo has ever fought. It’s a dangerous fight,” Schaefer said.

“People want to see big fight and this is a big fight and a dangerous fight. Protecting [unbeaten records] and as a result fighting guys where people already know the result when you go into the venue….who the hell wants to see that? There are other possibilities but this is a big fight and a dangerous fight and that’s what people want to see.”

“If he goes and beats Paul Williams, then I think all of those people who say ‘we’re still not so convinced by Canelo’ – they should just shut up.”

Thats a tough fight for Canelo, but I do agree with stepping up his level of opposition
