Lots of hardcore boxing people whined when Margarito was chosen the last time out. But no one who paid for the PPV or saw the fight live complained that they didn't get their money's worth in terms of excitement and thrill, most especially the casual fans. Mainstream media were also raving about Pac's spectacular performance after the fight. More so than any other fight this year, including Sergio's.
It seems to me that, to the eyes of these non-boxing people, boxing was far from dead on that particular night. How is that bad for boxing?
people can easily get caught in the hype specially during and after the fight. but you have to remember that before the fight(pac-margarito) almost nobody gave marg the chance of winning so the result of it is somewhat expected yet people easily forget whats up prior to the fight
I believe since Pacquiao isn't fighting either an ATG welterweight, JMW or MW in their prime and in their weight class in his next fight, he is really a sickening human being. If he were a man, he'd take a tuneup against Martinez for the linear MW title, then get into a time machine and defend today's linear title against Hagler for Hagler's title from the eighties. If he doesn't, I'm calling cherrypicking. What a fraud.
The last time he was in any real danger was when he fought JMM...and in the first half of the Cotto fight other than that he's had nothing but tune ups.
