Reason: He never gets the CREDIT...There's always excuse from the so called BOXING "experts"....
If he beats Hatton, lot of people would say "nah he is just a BUM, everybody knows he will kick Hattons ass.... "
If he goes for MAyweather, a lot of people would say "nah he just doesnt have it anymore..HE IS ALREADY SHOT that's why he retired in th first place..."
If he goes for COTTO and beats him (which BTW he shouldnt because he wont BEAT COTTO stylistically wise) a lot of people would say "nah he was already exposed by MARG, his chin was already cracked."
SO FOR HIS LEGACY might as well fight THE MOST DANGEROUS, THE MOST IMPOSSIBLE FIGHT for him.... ANTONIO MARGARITO...
belt at 147...
an opponent in PRIME....
BIGGER opponent...
LAST FIGHT
NO EXCUSES... (though if he lose HE shall have an excuse BTW..lols)
If, big if, Pac does beat Hatton, I think he could very easily outbox Tony, just as I think Floyd would. I like Tony and think he's an exciting fighter but he's being waaay overrated...
Yah THAT'S the BIG IF...
Never look past your opponent....Specially with the CALIBER like RICKY HATTON....
He is no pushover and he is relentless as well.....
but should he gets past HATTON, MARG is the best OPTION out there for him...BUT AGAIN FOR A LAST FIGHT....
If manny uses his head he will stay at 140 or even 135. No higher due to his size. He would be his best at 135 another duran at light weight.
Rodhook
yes he has a good shot at cleaning the house at 135..the only BIG challenge is JMM...at 140 i dont see the other paper champions bringing much to the table at 140....but if you were a PAC fan like me...would you like to see his last two fights with KENDALT HOLT or a certain TIMOTHY BRADLEY(WBC) or ANDREAS KOTELNIK (WBA)??? i certainly dont think so....
After HATTON WHATS THE NEXT BEST POSSIBLE FIGHT FOR HIM???
FLOYD still retired besides a very dangerous fight for him (stylewise)
COTTO also a very dangerous fight for him (stylewise) and MARG already beat him NWAYS.....
MARGARITO also a very dangerous fight but MARG is tailored fit for him (HE IS JUST BIGGER). BRAWLER unlike the other two who are very good counter... punchers... Besides MARG has the belt....the other 2 doesnt.....FOR LEGACY GET THE LINEAL WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP.....
no please don't ferocity will go crazier. another mexican to beat. see how fero's life has changed? let's have some sympathy for the dude.
lols...there's always Cris Arreola:D
No why not put Margarito vs Chad Dawson or Kelly Pavlik. That is a more fair fight than Pac vs Margarito. Margarito fans pick on somebody your own size like Pwill.
Im a PAC fan and Im picking MARG for PAC's own size:D

Pacquiao would have to train in Siberia to beat Margarito...
actually ITS NOT ACTUALLY BEATING MARGARITO.....
ITS GETTING THE CHANCE TO BEAT MARGARITO.....
imagine what that win would equate to PAC's LEGACY....
its like "WHAT IF DURAN DEFEATED MARVELOUS MARVIN HAGLER"...Standing right NOW he is already GREAT...but if he actually defeated HIM he would be SUPER GREAT!!!Did the loss diminish his standing as an ATG?? no it did not...
Id rather PAC lose to MARG than to FLOYD...It will be more damaging....he will be at best SECOND BEST FIGHTER IN OUR GENERATION losing to PBF....
but LOSING TO MARG??? he will still be in the contetion of NO 1 P4P fighter since you can always argue Floyd ducked MARG....:nana:
after pacquiao hatton fight, i think pacquiao margarito fight should be the next. that would be great. and thats what PACquiao said he wants to fight margarito, and he thinks he can out-box and beat marg, that what he said, and lets wait what pacman has to prove again, just like his previous fights. criticized by so called "BOXING EXPERTS" as an underdog or mismatched and yet PACMAN proved them wrong. can he win? yes he can, nothing is impossible, anyway win or lose PACMAN got nothing to lose. its gonna be a great and talk about fight, a big pay day for both boxers and nice income for the promoters.
you got that right my friend....
both the boxers have two fist...it not like MARG has an extra one!!!! lols(that would look funny BTW imagine them clinching and the other hand would sneek out from MARG's back ala DR. OCTOPUS knocking PAC OUT...hehehe)
in fighting its a MORTAL SIN to underestimate your opponent....:boxing:
that goes without saying PAC should not look past RICKY HATTON...

i see what your saying its a win win for pac in a way if by some small chance he wins a decision that does great things for his legacy and if he loses ppl will just say pacs still a great fighter but was at to much of a disadvantage
however theres always a chance marg could hurt pac bad i mean bad! and i wouldnt want to see that
yes that's my point you got it right on the button....BUT IF and ONLY IF THIS WILL BE HIS LAST FIGHT....
me neither i dont want him to be hurt in any manner but you see he is a prize fighter...every outing there is a big chance he might get hurt...LEAVANDER JOHNSON (pardon me for mentioning his name and may he RIP)died in his own weightclass against a NOT so big fighter in JESUS CHAVEZ.
you see boxers are always in danger of getting hurt...ALWAYS...
that's upto the trainers and the fighters themselves... if they would let brutal punishment go on for round after round after round there lies the danger...
I dont see FREDDY allowing this to happen, if he happens to see PAC getting pummeled even for the very first few minutes of the fight might as well throw in towel take the money then retire..A WIN WIN situation indeed...
what if it is not the same case...what if PAC manages to outhustle and outpoint MARG the first half of the fight without getting so much tagged...
You see its a calculated risk with a GREAT reward a good way to say goodbye to the SPORT which gave him the life he is living right now....

The difference between you and Pacquiao is that Pac is not suicidal.
Or is he?
What seems to be impossible with Marg fight?? is he that unbeatable?? Is he that big?? I dont see any thing extra ordinary about MARG except for his resiliency and stamina.. and of course his FAMOUS CHIN...but you see you can use your chin to BOX..you use hands...IF you cant score points with your hands you may not use in the alternative your CHIN...
But I admit MARG is definitely favored to win this but a lot of us, a lot of us are writing PAC off..Yet again...
It is difficult task but it is not impossible nor suicidal for me....
Beating MARGARITO for PAC is achieving IMMORTALITY...
'Do you know what's waiting beyond that beach? Immortality! Take it! It's yours!' -ACHILLES
lols at you FEROCITY....
BTW... you are ONE OF THE SO CALLED "BOXING EXPERTS" im reffering to LOLS...
what will be your excuse if PAC beat MARG btw? Nothing right..So I agree with you PAC should walk the talk..RIGHT???:bs2:
The haters will have an excuse no matter what the fighter they hate does. The only thing that they want to see is Pac (or the fighter they hate) get KTFO so they can say he was "exposed" or "overrated" that's all. If Pac fought and beat Tony they'd be comparing Tony to the "one-dimensional" Baldomir and say he's "ducking" PBF...
