Garcia's whole crew is going to get their asses beat.

Mosley may well have fought a drained Margarito, but that was on Margarito's own accord for the 147lbs title.

Manny Pacquiao fought Margarito for a 154lbs title AT 150lbs catchweight.


See the difference? Or do I have to go further?

When Mosley destroyed Margarito he was a seasoned world champion in his own weight class, when Manny beat him he was coming off a huge layoff (ban) and was fighting at a contracted catchweight.

 

Can you read?

I said he may well have been drained, as he stated he was.
Anywho, when Mosley beat him he was coming off the best win of his career and was considered the man at 147lbs.. when Manny beat him he was coming off a huge layoff and a tuneup fight where he looked terrible.

 

margo has never made excuses but he was having problems making 147 against mosley and capetillo admitted that was the reason why he plastered margos hand wraps.

there is no way, even if margo was 80 percent of the fighter after the mosley thrashing, he would he be the +400 that he was against paq after paqs knockdown and subsequent ktfo cold loss. in fact, the fight probably would never be made.

i still cant understand the logic that rios, whose nowhere near the threat of a faded margo, is a +400 dog.

in the last 30 years how man guys that are 35+ that suffer their first ko(not tko) loss are successful, thereafter?

the list is going to be in single digits and if history has any signifigance paq has maybe three fights left

 

:rofl *******s get way too emotional over this shxt, dont you have a personal life

 

very few guys that rely heavily on speed and reflexes are seldom successful below heavyweight once they hit their mid-30's

ray leonard, jones jr and sweet pea and are a good examples of guys done at 35.


i would take ruslan over paq right now.

 

mayweather has never been in wars and he has the best defense in boxing so you cant compare him to paq.

and im sure that roy looked great in the gym before his johnson fight where the road warrior was about the same +350-400 as rios is now.

my decisions when laying money on a fighter have to go with statistics and history as opposed to gut feeling.

and statistically and historically guys like paq, coming off a knockdown(very signifigant as he had never been down or hurt in 8+ years) and then a subsequent ktfo cold, dont fare well from there on out.

think back 30 years and tell me who is the last guy that had success below hw, or lhw for that matter, after being ktfo cold when over 35?

thats what paq is up against and thats why arum made this fight. there are no tune-ups for paq because top rank cant afford the risk of paq getting kod on non-ppv.

in all likelihood there is an expiration date on manny and arum wants to make as much money on him before he expires

 

Rios is in for a beating

Worse than Margarito if the towel isn't thrown in..

 

I never lost a lifetime ban bet

 

Not exactly true. Margarito might have had to have weighed in at a certain weight but in the ring on fight night he was back to his usual weight and not fighting at a catchweight disadvantage. In short that fight fight wasn't lost on the scales.
