    then you cannot fault pacquiao for being that good. it's not like pac has a real choice of opponents after floyd. yes bradley probably deserves the payday more than a proven cheater in margo but would it give pac the same pay as a margo fight? this is also business and they have to factor this also.

    1 Punch can change a fight, when a fighter is a 1 punch knockout artist.

    So you are fully ignoring the discovery before the Mosley fight? Since then, he has looked shot.

    Yeah, and it's business fraud. This fight is about money, that's the problem.

    It's a marketing game of finding the right demographic and market to produce a fight near the border with a mexican fighter so they can get the revenue they want without providing history or the boxing fans with a credible bout.

    Remember, a belt is being put at stake for this debacle. This isn't an exhibition to show off how great Manny Pacquiao is. This is going into the record books to be examined later down the road.

    I expect more out of the best fighter of the past 10 years.

    lol these guys are using marg size as a reason for why he's a threat.

    The size is irrelevant since they're forcing him into a catchweight.

    emmanuel is smarter, faster, and has a better defense compared to marg.

    yes i agree but what do you think will a win over bradley or berto means for pac at this stage? it's almost the same or maybe of lesser stature and with less reward monetary-wise.

    lmfao, lifetime ban bet me. Cotto took consecutive loaded shots over and over and then quit. Marg lacks real power.

    Pac doesn't go down or out in this fight.

    True, there really isn't anyone other than Mayweather to give Pacquiao a good fight at 140 or 147.

    I personally would rather see Pac/Bradley at 140 but it would not be as big of an event. I don't really blame Pacquiao for chasing cash at this stage as long as he and Mayweather get serious for May.

    What?

    A) Ruiz isn't Margo
    B) Roy isn't Pacquiao

    I don't play this hypothetical bull****. I am talking about 2 current fighters and their current abilities.
