    I never said he was racist dumb ass! You have no clue at all what i am saying and thats sad. He will not fight those guys cause they will give him problems and he could lose to all of those guys. He's ducked those types of fighters his whole career bro. I can put up the Raheem video if you like me too.

    hmmm - Ghana / American = difference of official nationality
    Black American / Black Ghanan = same ethnicity (race)

    Pac fighting Margarito is not appealing to boxing fans but to casual fans it will bring more money. Margarito still has a big latino fanbase and since he did pretty well in his last fight.

    Like some of you *****s said, boxing is business.

    what? Why you think that Pacquiao's afraid of losing? We ALL know why Mayweather's afraid of losing, at least...

    He'd go up to 154 to cherrypick a title now it's held by someone he previously gave a beating too, we all get that we just think the fight sucks for that reason.

    Even if you don't think Cotto is inferior to Martinez or Williams you must surely realise that Pacquiao would get more credit and make it a more exciting match up to boxing fans for fighting either of those 2 compared to recycling another fighter he beat comfortably?

    He would get as much credit for that as he did for the second Barrera fight which isn't a lot.

    Margarito has never been a PPV attraction, even after his demolition job of Cotto he was still only on regular HBO for the Shane Mosley fight because he isn't a draw.

    I can see people refusing to buy a PPV simply because it's Margo.

    Margarito should not even be mentioned as an opponent. No way should they fight JMM at this point, and why rematch Cotto when they already beat the hell out of him?

    I am sure Arum will make it vs another Top Rank fighter though.

    Williams or Bradley would be good, but neither seems a possibility.

    He'll always have his number, but the physicality is just so much different now. Kind of crazy these two were fighting a few years ago. The thing is, Roach will demand JMM move up further than he should in weight I think.

    I guess we will have to see what JMM has left against Diaz. I swear though, Roach will ask for something above 140.

    jmm could be a force at 140 if he goes up in weight the right way, he needs a good nutritionist and a conditioning coach, last time he used a bodybuilding method to gain weight.

    i suggest he hires mosleys old conditioning coach Gustavo Satragni.

    Well, if he looks really good against Diaz and does as you say then perhaps it is a good fight @ 140. I will be pulling for JMM as always. Probably my favorite combination puncher.

  15. Why not at 135 where he's the lineal champion?
