Cotto/Mosley- 7 rounds to 5 Mosley/Margarito- a complete domination for Mosley that ended with a vicious KO see the difference? probably not.
Do you know how boxing works? a fighter can have a rehydration clause barring a fighter from entering the ring above a certain weight. It happened with Guzman/Funeka 2
How convenient, so now Mosley "wasn't fit to fight"?? Even though, he came off the Margo fight and stayed in shape the entire time...you guys are ridiculous :deal
What Arum can do is pick and opponen that will PREPARE Manny for a guy like Floyd. Margarito does NOTHING to get Pac READY for Floyd.:deal
ok its raelly simple. PW is a no name with the casual fan. this means Clottey like PPV numbers, and he cant afford another 7OOk showing consecutively. Secondly, PW is 6ft 3 with an absolutely insane reach....to put that short, it would be a totally beyond necessary risk. the bigger floyd is not fighting dudes at 6ft 3 and for good reason. basically taking a PW at any weight would be the worst piece of business ive ever witnessed or heard of. there is nothing going for PW to get this fight.
If Paul went back down to 147 and lost a lot of people would discredit the win and say he was dehydrated. Look how a lot of people discredited the Oscar win for going down to 147.
Agree ,they should look for a fast fighter with quick reflexes. Nobody is Floyd , but Berto or Bradley would be better matches.
buttttt then Marg stopped the guy who took 7rounds off shane.....we can do this all day. the point is, that shane, miguel and marg are all top welterweights. do not deny it. do not hate on it. this is what they are.
As much as I disapprove of this fight, I don't dismiss it's PPV potential. Pac-Margarito will easily generate 1 million buys because casual fans know who Margarito is. If Pac could solely produce 700k in his last fight, what makes you think that his attraction status would regress in his next fight?; particularly against an opponent with a large Mexican following who is now widely viewed to be the 'bad guy' of the sport?
u cant prepare for a guy who shows no signs of wanting a fight. besides, i dont know if u realise this by now, but pac and roach are not worried about being able to beat mayweather. for them, it will happen if mayweather wants it to happen. but then again floyd is too smart with his career and knows boxing inside out, back to front. he knows manny beats him.
