Do you think Manny Pacquiao is taking a challenge by fighting Antonio Margarito?

It's defiantly a challenge that's for sure! Anyone who thinks Margarito will get blown away are in for a wake up call, it's not going to go all pacquiao's way for the first couple of rounds, infact he could be in for a longer night than we expect. I wouldn't write Margs off, but I do expect pacquiao to dominate him for the majority of the fight if it goes to a decision.

Foreman was too big Clottey and Margs are not , wonder why , in house maybe ? Margo looked like rubbish in his come back fight after being destroyed after a long layoff gaining weight . Another bullsh!t CW , Marg weighed on 24/7 158 after a workout and he is ripped now he will have trouble with weight , but then thats why Roach and Manny are the CW kings , Roach knows how much a few pounds hurts them when they are already struggling to make the division weight . Pac says off course Margo knew what was in his wraps he is a cheater , but we give him a chance , cheaters cheat aint that right Manny . This is no challange they know they will win and carry all the trump cards , and Bob is the paymaster of both and he stands to lose a fortune if Pac loses , this fight in a sham for a bit of tin thats not even fought for at its right weight , this is not another divsion title its a bullsh!t fabricated fight for 150 pound fake belt /

I think they feel this is an easy fight and a lucrative one to boot, one that keeps him fighting a Top Rank fighter so all that plays a factor

yes i think it is a big challenge. i wouldnt bet on this fight, i think margo has a decent shot of winning

Cheato is quite the punching bag whose granite chin has already been cracked. He is very slow and his defense is his chin. Cotto was a bigger threat to Manny. Size, although helpful, doesn't win fights. Skillz does and cheato is quite short on skills. I don't see it being very competitive at all. Unless Manny decides to stand in front of cheato to please the fans.

I believe taking a challenge would've been fighting Martinez/Williams. Big risk yes and a bigger challenge..

Margarito is the next highest paying fight for Pacquiao, His team said that themselves, Boxers would alway look at the money first before anything else..And yes winning a 8th title in a different weight class is a challenge no matter what anyone else says.

I don't want a flomo circle jerk in this thread. Simple question, do you think they were thinking that tony was going to be a challenge when they chose him as the opponent for the 8th divisional title? I mean I don't believe so since roach clearly states that he has no defense, really slow and they'll easily KO him. Whats Roach supposed to say? It is certainly a challenge if Margarito has something left. Its not the greatest challenge but a challenge nonetheless.

yes it will be a tough fight because of Margs size and chin pac gets hit and Margs throws tons of punches. I still see Pac winning clearly but it should be exciting for as long as it lasts.
