    Freddie and Manny would have not taken this fight if Margarito was in his prime or more importantly focus. It's all about timing Margarito is going through a lot, new trainer/team, his last few fights have slow him down and we have yet to hear more of the demands aside from the 150 so far.

    It's obvious that Roach is only taking this fight now because Margo has looked vulnerable. After Margarito destroyed Cotto, Freddie stated that he would rather Manny fight Klitschko before letting him fight Margo. I hope this whole charade backfires on Roach and Arum with Margo KTFO Pacquiao to upset the applecart.

    Trust me as much as Margarito change Cotto, Cotto change Margarito with some hard shots, His reflexes have slow him down and seems slower. He has been broken down and Mosley took advantage. Margarito has admitted the Cotto fight was very tough and he was still healing from his Cotto fight when he step in the ring with Mosley.

    Tony Margarito NEVER used any illegal wraps . With all the hell Tony has been through the last 18 months he really stands little chance . BUT remember ya'll wrote him off against Cotto & he kicked cotto's ass like a red headed stepchild lol. I hope Tony knocks Manny out. Then watch the so called superstars run & hide AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! ROFL

    Took a tremendous ass kicking in his last fight not to mention his style doesn't lend itself to long careers and you have a fighter that's past his prime and being off for a year didn't help either.

    :deal:deal This right here, IMO that fight was one of those were both fighters leave everything in there and are not the same anymore after that.
