I find this very unacceptable.
1. Margarito was caught with the intent to cheat. His integrity as a professional athlete flew out the window at that point.
2. He was COMPLETELY destroyed in his last fight. Again, COMPLETELY destroyed. He didn't even make a good account for himself. It was like he went in there with no arms or legs and was there for the beating. It's not like he went life and death with Mosley or made it a competitive fight in which one could say that even with the loss, he gained something in that fight. Homeboy was made to look like an F class fighter.
It looks like Arum is going to put him up against a soft opponent to make him appear as if he's back in elite class fighting form and then make a fight with Pacquiao. Margarito won't even have to climb back up the ranks with 2 or at leat 3 fights against top opposition to prove he still has what it takes to be competitive at this level. Pacquiao is the pound for pound BEST fighter in the sport. It would be completely unacceptable for him to take on a fight the way Arum is trying to plan it out.
As a Floyd "hater", I can say that Floyd would be ANALIZED if he did this. As a Pacquiao fan, I HAVE to say that this shit isn't cool.
depends on how marg shows up in the garcia fight this may. but really if greedy arum wants to keep it in his stable, i'd rather have pac-valero. it's easy to hype the undefeated all-KO record of valero, even if he's unknown.
Don't you think Margarito has to earn his way to Pacquiao though? I mean, ONE fight and he gets Pac? Thats BS to me.
It will atleast be two due to Arum trying to get him on that undercard of Duddy vs Chavez. Honestly I'd rather see him get a title at 154 then go for Marg in Dec or early next year.

I dunno, maybe it'd legitimise the fight a bit more; but realistically he's earned the right simply by being one of Arum's boys.
It's not a fight I'm salivating over or anything, and I'm not too keen on the idea of Margarito recieving instant redemption purely by virtue of being a Top Rank fighter. But if it is what's to be then I won't be overly disappointed and I'll happily tune in and watch what should be a brutal fight (which ends in Margarito unconscious).
To be honest I'd be okay with it if it wasn't for the possibility that Arum will place it higher on his to-do list than Mayweather/Mosley v Pacquiao.
Not the best fight out there for Manny but it could be fun while it lasts as long as Marg ain't too far gone.
Also the guy Margarito is fighting isn't a bum.

The only reason you have a problem with this fight is b/c of what Margarito did to your boyfriend, Cotto.
You're pathetic. You reach more than a Catholic Priest at a Boy Scouts convention.
It is a pretty dumb idea but whatever it is always good to have contingency plans worked out. It is also a decent fight to make Manny look good and it kind of works for Margarito since he would get paid a lot.
Valero is a light weight. Margarito is a disgrace.
Why does your fight plan consist of him fighting Marg a guy whos a disgrace, Valero a light weight, then Mosley after he loses to Floyd?
Williams
Martinez
Bradley
Berto
Much better options.
I said if marg goes out beat a few top guy (esp in dominate fashion) them why not. Same with valero. If he establish himself as the man at LW beats a top guy at 140, then why not make Pac vs Valero? These are fights that are a year or two at the minimum from happening.
I like PAC vs Toney & PAC vs Valero, just not anytime soon. What I wanna see happen is for Arum to put a 3-4 fight plan to build both up. For example, he can feed Toney tune up,collazo, quintana then have him face a top tier guy like berto or cintron. If he runs through these guys and looks like the Toney of old then I would love to see Toney vs PAC.
With valero I would like to see him face Diaz then Marquez at 135. He passes those two test then I'd prefer a top guy at 140 like Bradley, then we can see h in a showdown with PAC.
As far as PAC I would like to see a mayweather fight but I honestly faith in it ever being made. So I would like to see PAC go for a belt at 154 then fight Shane at the end of the year. If everything goes according to plan Toney will be close to being ready for a showdown with PAC next year.

where all the pac fans at ... personally i dont liek the matchup at all either. margo has been disgraced and 'exposed' and i cant see this fight helping pacs legacy whatsoever. if margo's chin is gone and his wraps arent loaded hes just gonna be a sitting duck ....
Dats 'cuz you unnastan baxin my nigguh...lol.
