Pacquiao-Margarito tale of the tape.

[neoz]

Listen man. Margarito HAS earned it.

A decade's worth of hard work and dedication to the sport does not get erased by one loss to a future HOF fighter.

Furthermore, Margarito put in some of the best work of any WW by fighting everyone in one of the best periods in the WW division in recent history.

He fought everyone who was worth fighting win or lose except Floyd who ducked him.

So don't go getting all self righteous on me about being undeserving when Pacquiao lost to Morales, lost to JMM 2x and he still gets chances at big fights.

Thats straight up hypocritical.

The reason JMM, Morales, Pac, Cotto and Margarito always get second and third chances in the sport is because they fight for the fans and the fans are forgiving of losses if they know you're putting in an effort for them.

LOST TO JMM 2X??
WTF Disillusional tool.
Let it go.

The decision whether to reinstate Antonio Margarito to boxing in the U.S. becomes a much more interesting issue now that Manny Pacquiao has decided to fight him.

"There are a number of states who'd license Margarito," the fighters' promoter, Bob Arum, said Saturday, after determining with Pacquiao's management Friday that Margarito would be the alternate foe Nov. 13 to a failed bid to stage the sport's super-fight, Pacquiao versus Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Twice-former welterweight world champion Margarito (38-6, 27 knockouts) hasn't fought in the U.S. since January 2009, when California authorities seized plaster-covered inserts from inside both of his hand wraps before Margarito lost to Shane Mosley at Staples Center. The California State Athletic Commission revoked the licenses of Margarito and his trainer, Javier Capetillo, at a February 2009 hearing, and it has yet to reinstate him.


Nevada considered Margarito's request this month — Margarito, 32, has fired Capetillo and has maintained that he did not know the inserts were inside his wraps — but the state tabled its decision and requested that he return to California for an official reinstatement or denial. Margarito's request could be heard in California next month.

However, Arum said some national boxing commissioners expressed interest at an Assn. of Boxing Commissions meeting this month in licensing Margarito with or without California's blessing.

The front-running options behind Nevada to pursue the fight are Texas, which staged a lucrative Pacquiao fight against Joshua Clottey in front of more than 50,000 at Cowboys Stadium in March, and New Jersey, which, like Nevada, is certainly interested in bringing a big crowd and wealthy gamblers to its state.

"We're confident we'll get him licensed here," Arum said.

If that doesn't happen, Arum said he has negotiated with representatives in Abu Dhabi and Monterrey, Mexico, which has a 22,000-seat arena and would allow Pacquiao (51-3-2, 38 KOs) to skirt a steep 30% federal tax in the U.S.

Margarito should be banned from boxing and at worst sitting in a jail cell.Pac stepping in the ring with him is disgraceful.

Its funny because looking at the pictures and the measurements you would feel sorry for Pacquiao, but in reality we are all feeling a little sorry for Margarito.
