    i agree. but we should not be mad if a fighter is seeking a bigger challenge, a way bigger challenge.

    **** have they lost their minds?

    Margarito is a ****ing nightmare for anyone, let a lone a former 96lbs'er.
    Margario would end his career over night, I do not want to see this happend, Pacquiao is a star but he can't beat Margarito.

    Nothing wrong with it no, but it won't be good for his long term health.

    Do you think he could beat Margo? 12 rounds relentless pressure?

    Pacquiao is ending his career anyway, so what gives if his fighting Margarito? He is a suicidal guy anyway. He likes defying the odds, and he might make the impossible possible once again.

    my mind says no. but i promised after the oscar fight that i will never doubt pac again. i always doubt his ability to win against the odds. from sasakul, going up to 122, barrera and latest was DLH. he always proves me wrong.

    I'm a fan of the Pacman, but I seriously doubt that he can outlast the Tornado. Pacquiao may have the speed advantage and will outbox Margo, but he(Margo) won't stop moving forward unlike De la Hoya. Eventually he will hit Pacquiao with a good one, and I don't think he can simply brush off the Tornado's power.

    At the least it will be a Mexican who would beat Pacquiao to a pulp!

    My sentiments exactly. If he cuts hatton to pieces whilst on the back foot i'd say 'what the hell given him a crack at margarito'. But if he doesnt stop hatton in a one-sided fight he should not fight margarito.

    I think he will stop Hatton in a one sided fight. And i dont see whats so ridiculous about him outboxing Margarito all night. He's WAY faster than Margarito, and a lot faster and more elusive than Cotto who for the first half of the fight Margarito could hardly touch. Cotto gassed, Manny NEVER would.

    If Manny wants Margarito, he should do it at true welterweight. All this catchweight crap trying to complety drain his opponent - what a cheat. If he wants to beat Tony and get respect for it then he has to do it properly.

    Fight A
    PAC vs Cotto is winnable although I must admit pac will be heavily underdog.

    Fight B
    PAC vs MARGARITO win is highly imprabable but not impossible. More Heavily underdog than fight A. Close to saying "Kamikazi".

    For the sake of arguement. PBF may have more skills but as far as ball is concerned. Pac has more BALLS than PBF!
