Pac vs. Margarito Nov 13 in Mexico?

Why the he'll is Margacheato even in consideration? He should be dead to boxing. We all saw how good he is without cheating. What a joke.

 

Disgusting.

But damn... if Marg has anything left this could be an amazing fight. ::

 

Arum is a degenerate and so is Pac for accepting this fight.

 

I'm one of the few who doesn't think Margarito was cheating pre-Mosley... but I support his banishment in the USA. It's just so fucking scummy to hold this fight in Mexico. It stinks all around.

 

Same thoughts here. Margarito is a live dog, especially in Mexico but this fight shouldn't be taking place.

 

Mexico?? Will Margarito come in with his special wraps??....even then i still don't think he can beat Pacquiao.....Margarito will be a punching bag...artie:

 

That's what everybody's hoping. However Margarito has a solid chin and is a much bigger guy than Pacquiao.

This is a stupid fight for Manny to take on many levels.

 

He's too slow Steve. Margacheato is just too slow.

 

Maragrito is DANGEROUS for Manny. Tony ain't a cover and counter guy like Clottey who'll put the shutters up while Manny throws his volume flurries then respond once Manny's lightning feet have him 2 yards away. Tony's gonna be leading aggressively at the same time manny is and he's gonna be walking down that ring and imposing a physicality on manny that he's never come close to experiencing before. There were moments early on when Cotto looked every inch the two divisions naturally bigger guy, only to be dented by Manny's power and lose momentum. Tony pulled that trick on COTTO and I strongly question whether Manny will be able to shift momentum so easily when his left cross lands on Tony.

Manny will and probably should be favourite, but this is Arum looking out for Arum signing this shit, to the risk of Manny's career. At the odds bookies will probably give on this I'll stick a tenner on Tony. Manny should tell Arum to suck his own wrinkly jewish balls and go fight Bradley or something at 140.

 

I just get the impression that Magarito is no big threat to Manny. Margarito's pressure is only effective when his punches hurt and they don't without the plaster as seen in his last two fights. Antonio will also have a hard time making weight probably. This is Arum going for one last big payday out of Margarito before he shuts him down because he'll never get his license in the US again.

 

Since the fight will probably be at 154 for the vacant WBC title; Margarito will most likely weigh close to 175 on fight night and have a huge size advantage. Despite Margarito's lack of defense, this is a dangerous fight and not a good option at all for Pac.

 

Like most iron chinned Mexicans, Margarito is soft in the gut. This is something Mosley learned a long time ago which is why he was such a devastating body puncher. The key to beating those iron chinned vatos is to hit the body.

Pac's going to destroy him either way.

 

Even to Margarito?

 

Yep!

 

This fight wont happen. It's high risk LOW REWARD. If Pac fights the wrong fight he maybe in a world of trouble against this Iron Chinned cheater. Pac can do much better fighting Cotto and going for his 8th title @154.

 

No way it happens @ 154.

What they should do is make the fight in the Phillipines instead of Mexico. Have a huge ring, a catchweight of 142 and make Margarito wear 22 oz gloves.

If Margarito claims it's unfair they can sit and laugh at him.

 

Too bad for him then. Do you think we watch boxing because of the possibility of the unknown and to see drama, Hex? Or do we watch it to see the same old sh*t where a guy is supposed to win all the time? I want Pacman in a war where he gets his face smashed in, put on his ass a few times and needs to fight for his life to survive. Hell I want the same from Floyd where he meets his Joe Frazier and has his eyelids torn up, his face completely bloodied and his hands broken and still trying to find a way to win. That's what this sport needs. And it's lacking. Both Pacquiao and Floyd haven't really delivered the true drama in their fights. Everything's just been the same old sh*t. Same old boring decisions where the opponent is handpicked and doesn't put up much resistance and basically comes for a cheque and not much else.

 

Did you miss Pacquiao's fights with Morales and Marquez?

 

Those were the old days when Pacquiao was coming up and had something to prove. Now, it's like all of his fights have to be safely matched up against the right opponents at the right time in order to preserve a mega fight with Mayweather. You want to see Pacquiao take safe fights so that nothing ruins the possibility of a Pac/Floyd fight. Not sure that's good for the sport.

 

Neither the Cotto or the Hatton fights were considered "safe" before hand even though Manny was a favorite. Cotto tagged Pac more than a few times. It was a close fight after 5 rounds.

Clottey was shit but he also wasn't remotely considered safe either.

He just couldn't handle what was in front of him.

Big difference than Mayweather-Marquez where only the dumbest people available picked JMM.

 

I'm responding to Hex's post where he said that Margarito is dangerous for Pacquiao and that Pacquiao should fight Cotto instead and go for an 8th title.

 

margarito seems like a probable foe for pacquaio based on trends. pacquiao of late tends to face name guys who were just removed from a vicious ass whipping.

 

I'm glad somebody sees this.
Marg is A VERY dangerous fight for Manny due to his size, power & durability.
Bad style match-up for Manny.

 

Ah ok.

Yeah the Cotto rematch would make no sense at all. The "title" @ 154 wouldn't mean shit other than as a trivia question in the future.

Although Pac hasn't cherry picked opponents at welterweight it's not like there's nobody left. I think some of the guys at 140 would be better challenges as well.

At the very least more interesting.

 

If Arum wasn't Margarito's promoter this fight wouldn't have even been considered for a nano second.

It's complete bullshit but that doesn't change the fact he's a dangerous opponent.

Also Clottey also wasn't on the recent end of an ass whipping before facing Manny.

 

I'm not really dissatisfied with Pac/Floyd not happening. I don't really watch or support boxing anymore anyway. It's a laughable business more than a sport. Just carefully matched fights really. Times are changing and boxing is yesterday's sport. When this generation of fans die out along with the promoters Arum and King who are into their really late years and with Pac and Floyd into their 30s and near their end, the sport will be finally extinct. The stars are shot, retired and/or gone from the sport save a couple. It's all for the best. Nobody should shed a tear for this corrupt piece of sh*t farce of a business anyway. The sport is almost dead, thank goodness. Kids of today don't care about it, America doesn't care about it, it will be gone and done with fairly soon.

 

i wanna see pac-floyd.. but i'll watch this.

i hope pac kos him and shits in his mouth
