    Yup! a mexican who is much bigger than him. But if we talk about a mexican beating him at 135lbs or 140lbs?! I'm not so sure...

    At 147lbs.. highly possible.. He's not a legit 147lbs contenter correct!?
    So at 147lbs a lot of mexicans can beat PAC..

    135 and 140lbs... it's a different story imo..

    It will be interesting to see how pac handles hatton in the clinches, or even if he lets hatton clinch? For me that is a big indication as to whether he will be competitive at 147.

    If both camps and fighters agreed to it, how can it be a cheat? :huh

    By that i mean it puts his opponent at a severe disadvantage if they're weight drained like hell. Oscar took it anyway and look at the result. No doubt Manny and Roach would love a lethargic skeleton version of Margarito to take the fight for the big bucks.

    WARMUPS against good competition....are u shitting me??? PBF is not going to fight warmups lol...the guy retired cuz he was sick of boxing and u think he is gonna train his balls off for a few tuneups before fighting pac....get into reality..

    Roach knows Pac can NOT beat PBF and has nothing to lose vs margo and everything to gain...smart move

    lol...pac has more balls???PBF started at 130 and went to 154 and fought ODLH...pac fiought a drained ODLH...now pac is taking PBF's sloppy seconds again....and if he fights margo great...i hope he does but it is far from signed....if he fights margo he has more balls than margo too...not just pbf...talk about no balls...margo doesn't want PW but he will fight a guy coming up from infant size

    If Pac gets through Ricky then I think it will be Mosley and Cotto in that order. For me either Mosley or Cotto will take care of Margo and the fight will lose its appeal. Lets see what Sugar's got left tonight. Ofcourse, Mayweather could gatecrash at any time. Despite what Roach claims, it would generate the biggest PPV purse after Ricky and that would seal it. Not that Pac cares about money.....:huh

    Pacquiao started at 107lbs. Pacquiao does have more balls, though I agree he took sloppy seconds and fought a mummy De la Hoya version.

    Agree. Catchweights are for bitches. Let both fighters come in at the best condition they can and let them win the fight in the ring not the scales.

    I don't know if it has been posted on here before but Bob Arum on Thursday was interviewed on L.A. radio. Arum said that if Margarito beats Mosely, his next fight would be in the summer against Miguel Cotto. The winner of Margarito/Cotto would more than likely take on the winner of Hatton/Pacman.

    Cherry picking even before Margarito fought Mosley.

    It's only been a year, and but what used to be "it's impossible for Pac to win" to "Margarito has no chance". Amazing!
