    But it was legit to face a Margarito who had the **** beaten out of him and been caught cheating in a catchweight? Seriously Pacquiao fans should be ashamed to have to lie for the catchweight queen.

    huh.

    Everyone agrees its fine to take a tuneup after a ko loss.

    But Pac is trying to go after Bradley or Marquez 1st. If they're not available. The 3rd big money fight out there is probably Alvarado. Which isn't even tune up really, just an easier fight than normal.

    And Margarito did fight a tune up between Mosley and Pac. So what is your point?

    He fought once in Mexico and he is a legit fight? If Floyd fought Margarito than you would kill him, like you problably do for taking the Judah fight.

    It was just an ok fight. Noone is saying it was a great victory or any differant.. It had an element of intrigue cos of the size differance. And it also ended up being a fun intriguing match.

    who do you want manny to fight if he can't get bradley or marquez?

    While I didn't agree with the belt being on the line. IMO Pac still deserves credit for defeating Margo at 150. Margo was still a dangerous fight for a guy like Pac. There was no guarantee that Pac could hurt Margo and Margo had major stamina to keep Pac working for 12rds. Pac showed a lot of heart in that fight as well after eating that monstrous body shot.

    Why can't he fight Marquez? all Marquez wants is his fair cut but Pac is being greedy.

    If Manny were to make an offer Golden Boy would let their fighters fight him, saying he can only fight those two guys or a 140,pounder means he doesn't run 147

    Margarito had a warm up fight and I think Pac could go back in with a top guy, he most likely will.

    is that true. Marquez seems to keep saying he wants bradley.

    I'm not gonna jump any guns yet. I'm just gonna see how this plays out.

    It could be just for negotiations.

    If we end up with any combination of Alvarado/Manny/Bradley/Marquez with the winners fighting, then as boxing fans we haven't done too bad.

    Could Floyd fight Canelo at 150? To be fair I view that as **** to.

    Name some names. Who do you want him to fight if he can't get bradley or marquez.

    The Alvarez/Rios winner is an ok 3rd IMO.

    He had 1 fight in Mexico and his rep was shot, I was there the result was never in doubt, you couldn't even get Mexicans to go cause everyone knew Pacquiao would win.

    Roach was saying Marquez wants about 50/50. Pac should do it.

    Manny isn't about money he is about challenge. He is a man of god that fights for the fans not for the money.

    But those are 140 pound guys, than Pacquiao fans will claim it as a welterweight win. Alexander, Thurman, Ortiz, Berto, Maidana, Lopez I'd even take Vargas, Ruslan or Chaves, at least Paulie fights at the weight.
