Aside from the fact that he would be giving a million dollar payday to a convict, he would also be fighting a man that is now regarded by many as a C level fighter.
Let's forget about Margarito's career pre-Mosley and only focus on his last two fights, because we don't know how long he sported plaster for.
Mosley was considered to be on the downside and still gave Margarito a brutal and embarrassing beating. After being suspended for using an illegal weapon in the ring, Margarito fought journeyman Roberto Garcia. He didn't look like the Margarito of the past. It seemed as if Mosley took something from Margarito that he'll never get back.
Now, Pacquiao is fighting for an 8th division title against a C level fighter, for a title neither of them deserve to fight for.
So what does a win over Margarito do to his legacy?
beating ANOTHER washed up fighter,,,it continues to affect his legacy
well, looks like your ATG are mainly or all just mexicans so I'm assuming you dont like fighters outside that race....so obviously dont like pac especially all the beating he's been doing to the mexicans and again that he's gonna do to margo.
Depends how well Pac beats him. If he beats him like noone has ever beat him, it has to be noted as a great win.
He beat Cotto as well as anyone could, and Yuri couldnt beat Cotto.
I don't see how it changes,for the hard core Manny fans it was an easy victory to begin with. For his critics, the 8th title will be another pointless joke with no merit.
This pretty much but how anyone could talk up the title aspect of this fight at 154 is beyond me.
