Hey...Don't get it twisted, Floyd Fans are just as disappointed that Pac/PBF is not happening...AGAIN. But "we" and the entire Boxing Fanbase Community should be Angry that Bob Arum is Pushing this fight as if this is a Viable and Competitive Fight...WHAT A LOAD OF BULL-****!!! There are tons of Floyd-Fans who are well aware that Manny Pacquiao is a PHENOMENAL FIGHTER. Speed, Athleticism and KO POWER. But is it too much to ask for Arum/Roach to put him in the ring with a fighter with SPEED, ATHLETICISM, POWER AND "REAL SKILLFUL" BOXING ABILITY. I know this is where the Pac-fans will say: "Well he's tried twice to make a fight with Floyd". And my Reply is: Yeah...So when a fight with the Best, Technically sound fighter in the sport can't be made....you go straight to the most TECHNICALLY FLAWED? Both Clottey and Margarito are Jokes of a Fight...PERIOD, POINT BLANK. And Pacquiao fans should be Just as angry. So you put a Skill-Less, Slow-Ass fighter with NO DEFENSE in the ring with P4P The Best Fighter in the Sport with Blinding Speed, Athleticism and Power, what do you get? KO in 4 and Shitty PPV Numbers. Question: Who is the easiest match-up for Pacquiao at 154lbs...Margarito or Cotto? If you said Margarito you'd be right!!! And guess who he's fighting??? Remember "OLD & SHOT" Mosley who gasses out after 3 rounds DESTROYED Margarito. A co-worker gave me a great analogy. If a guy said he wanted to ask a woman for her hand in Marriage. He calls her for a week and NO Answer. So a Week Later he Marries someone else. What are the chances he really wanted to Marry Her? Arum has been feeding us COW**** all along and calling it PRIME-RIB...LYING SACK OF ****!!! Now here's is the Big Difference of what is happening here. If Pac/PBF happens in 2011, ESB Posters have already said (with anger and cynicism) in their words that Floyd may take a "tune-up" fight. WHY NOT??? Pacquiao is fighting his 2nd TUNE-UP against a fighter that offers him NO CHALLENGE. Anyway according to the LVRJ (Las Vegas Review Journal) Floyd is looking at Sergio Martinez at 154lbs in Miami, Paul Williams at 147lbs in Las Vegas and even inquired about the availability of Felix Sturm at 160lbs. But Sturm's people has said, that they will NEVER fight on US Soil (I wouldn't Blame them after the ODLH Robbery). This is another Clever attempt by Floyd to show his Financial worth over Pacquiao. Because this Margarito fight won't get $150,000 PPV Pac-Fans need to understand that it doesn't make them less of a fan to call Pac/Arum/Roach out for this SHITTY-ASS FIGHT...Especially when Alexander, Bradley, Williams, Berto and Marquez all have CALLED HIM OUT. And they would all be available in November and none of them are requesting additional Testing. Pacquiao in 4 over Margarito...via Stream.
The only meaning for the fight is the higher weightclass + title added to Pac's legacy... and the rest is silence/bull****!!
I bet that skillless fighter if he could fight at 147 would hand Bradley and the other guys you mentioned their asses, at this point. At 154 he's a tough fight. Even though not the ideal fight.
make the fight interesting ..... if manny is allowed catchweights and re-hydration clauses let tony wear his special wraps keep it fair boys keep it fair :hey
I don't see much chance of Pac cracking that chin in 4 rounds. Is it just me or has there been a collective memory loss ever since Margarito got caught cheating? Can no-one remember Margo vs Cotto, Margo vs Cintron I + II? The latter stages of Margo vs Paul Williams? I don't understand how Margo is being painted as some D-class bum now, it doesn't connect to the fighter that he is.
Cintron was/is never really much of threat to anyone!!! If Cotto had any defense or Stamina...No-one would had ever heard of Antonio Margarito.
Williams aside Margo would beat all those guys you mentioned how you came to a conclusion that hes an easier fight i'll never know. BTW its not Arum or Roach's fault that some coward chose to go to honeymoon with a fat piece of **** called leonard instead of fighting Pac.
I can't believe how much people are underestimating Margarito. Pac should win but Margo is huge and he has amazing stamina. Although I wanted Pac-Floyd and Margo is a cheating piece of ****, this fight should still be pure entertainment.
Pac shouldn't be fighting at 154, whereas this weight class should benefit Margarito greatly. With the bigger gloves that come with the higher weight class, I can't see Pac getting Margo out of there quickly, if at all. Pac by UD in a fight no-one wants to see. Pac fighting at 154 will lead to any possible Mayweather showdown also being at 154 - which, again, will not serve Pac well. He should stay at 147 or even go down to 140 whilst awaiting the mega-fight.
yea whatever... Foreman crushed Frazier... Then guess what??? frazier took Ali to the limit again... Styles makes fights and this one will be exciting... Good matchup... Point blank....Period..
